VW CORRADO TDI Swap / 50 MPG / 5spd / daily driven!

1990 Volkswagen Corrado

I am selling my 1990 VW Corrado with a TDI swap from a 1996 vw Passat. Many Corrado owners see a TDI swap as a sin but in fact this shell was going to the dump and was saved and converted in to one of the coolest commuter options. The fact of the matter is that we have speed limits, and traffic, and a 90hp corrado can safely get you to 80mph while holding 45-55mpg average. The car is setup with drive by wire. OBD2 and cruise control both work.
I did not perform the swap. This was a unique car trade I made with the person who conducted the swap about two years ago. Since my ownership, I replaced the windshield, wheels, window regulator, oil and filter, and some other small things.
According to the previous owner the clutch/ flywheel, timing belt/water pump were are swapped about 40,000 miles ago.
Some of the upgrades include:Adjustable coiloversPerformance chipGlass Passat sunroofQuality stainless exhaustCross drilled rotors and stainless steel brake hosesOBD2 scan capable
Some things that do not work:Electronic seatbeltAdjustable spoilerGlass sunroofInterior light
Some paint issues shown in picture include a chip below drivers window, a repair above drivers fender. The exterior rust is very minimal however I did find a small hole, smaller than a quarter in the rear passenger floor (no I can not take pictures). I treated the area from the inside of the car with rust presenter. This is not something exposed to easily get a picture.
The mileage reflects the drivetrain swap not the actual car. The actual car mileage is unknown.
This car feels safe and ready for road trips. It starts with confident compression, lots of turbo spool, and some cold start squeal from the power pump pulley. I would not hesitate to travel far distances if you buy this car. This is a daily driven corrado. Is this Corrado perfect? The answer is no. it could use some ownership love. This is why I am listing at a mere $4250. A lot of work has gone in to making the swap, purchasing the parts and making it all work. When gas prices go back up, and everyone trades in their TDI from dieselgate, you will be that lucky person to show up in one of the coolest vw's ever made.
