1997 Jetta TDI with WVO Kit

1997 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Description

Very clean TDI diesel. Here are the issues:
1. I had planned to drive this car for 500,000 miles, however, the main wiring harness prevented that from happening! This car was running great until my fan blade cut a main wiring harness wire bundle. There was so much wire damage that I decided t replace the entire main and glow plug wiring harness's. That's when the electrical "ghost's" started to appear - instrument cluster not functioning (car still starts and runs), limp mode, etc. A local auto electrician quoted me 6-8 hours to test all (40)+ main wiring harness connections, including the grounds. At an estimated $1,000.00 labor cost, I decided not to continue with keeping the car. If you know anything about auto electrics you can probably solve the issues yourself. Like I said, the car ran perfectly before the cutting of the main harness wire bundle.
Car stats:

• I am the second owner (bought in 2002).
• 345,900 miles on the odometer. The car looks and drives like it only has 150,000 miles on it.
• 117,000 miles on the motor (I replaced it with a used 1Z motor from Germany in 2010 for $2,400.00).
• 160,000 miles on the manual transmission (I replaced it at the same time as the 1Z motor). The transmission currently has 160,000 miles on it. It shifts fine.
• No dents other than a minor dent by the passenger headlight.
• AC blows cold.
• Timing belt done at 327,800 miles (18,100 miles on new belt).
• Always used Shell Rotella Synthetic motor oil every 6,000 miles or so.
• Manual windows.
• Several spare keys.
  
• All fluids and filters recently replaced (motor oil, powers steering, transmission, brake, and windshield recently changed).
  
• Several paint scratches and nicks that would be normal for a car that is 19 years old.
• Small engine oil leak.
• Virtually new Goodyear Traction TA tires (worth at least $200.00).
• Car has been maintained extremely well. I have maintenance records all the way back to 5,112 miles (December 1, 1997).
  

Upgrades:

• Nice aluminum wheels.
• Rear disk brakes in rear (converted from drums).
• Sony XPlod speakers front and rear.
• Kenwood CD/Ipod-ready stereo.
• Leather steering wheel.
• Rear spoiler.
• Koni shocks and struts.
• Rear stabilizer bar.
• WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) "Greasecar" kit - tanks, valves, switches, gauges, etc. I discontinued the WVO kit last year when diesel became cheap again. If you hook up the kit (I have the instructions) it can run on free fuel again.
• Several spare parts that I will give you such as fenders, bumpers, trim, hardware, etc.
• Black "smoked" tail lights.

Fix the electrical issue and you have a nice TDI diesel that does not need to be smogged in California!

Other than electrical issues related to replacing the main wiring harness and an old paint job, the car is in beautiful condition.
