2005 Golf TDi question

Mostro 24 April 2005 23:10:53
 I have never owned a VW. I am thinking of buying one though, because after
sitting in one it seems pretty nice, but more so for the gas mileage. I
come from an automotive service background and I work on my own stuff, but I
have never worked on a diesel, but I do understand the concept. How good
are these cars, how hard are they to work on, what is this cars achilles
heel?

The only thing about buying a new VW today (or Mercedes or BMW) is the
electronics and electric items (sensors, switches, etc.). The Germans in
general seem to be having trouble with these sorts of things lately.
Otherwise the car should be solid.

 We have had very few issues with the new TDI-PD.

"Few"? Can you list some of them?

 Nothing really wrong anymore with these cars.... Even Consumer Reports is
saying the late model (2004-2005) Golfs and Jetta's have very low problem
rates (11 problems per 100 cars)..... The 99-03 models did have some issues.
You would be buying the Golf on its last model year, now it's a very well
sorted car.

One person said German switchgear/electric­s can be problematic... To that I
would say you got a bad one... We've never had an electrical problem with
accessories.

 I would highly suggest you go to www.tdiclub.com where there are many owners
there who can fill you in on the specifics. I myself own a passat tdi and
its a wonderful car. I get nearly 40mpg with it and its a beautiful and
comfortable car.

I had some reservations, but so far it was nothing but fear.

 I drive a VW Golf 3 TDI and a VW Polo 9N PD-TDI. Both cars are very
good! The Golf: 236.000km, 140hp, tuning. The Polo: 26.000km 145hp,
tuning. Both run 225km/h. They are cheap and it's feel good to drive!
Funfactor is maximized!
