2002 Golf GLS TDI (diesel) 45+ MPG!!! This car has treated me very well and I have treated her very well. Bought at 75k miles. The first thing I did was change cam and timing belt since those were prone to going bad and since it didnt have proof of changing in the past, even though he said they were changed, I changed them anyway. I travel everywhere with this car. Every other weekend I travel somewhere. Ive been up to new york, Alabama, Georgia, north carolina, you name it. Never skips a beat. These cars will last forever! This one is just getting broken in at 110k miles.I get about 600 miles to the tank. Its only about 40 bucks to fill up! Even cheaper with these gas prices going down. Mechanically she is perfect! Cosmetically as you can see she needs just alittle work (front paint and headliner) and time and she will be looking really good! A lot of work has been put into this car. I dont want to sell but I want to convert a van into a mini camper and travel the country. This involves getting rid of her. Check out my build thread on tdiclub. Shows the work and story of the car! http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=404438 PROS MECHANICAL 110k miles 5-speed New timing belt and cams and lifters at 80k miles. I have receipts.
