1984 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel Volkswagen NO RESERVE!!!!!! Golf, Gti, MK1

1984 Volkswagen Jetta

You are bidding on a 1984 VW Jetta with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine and a 5 speed manual transmission.

The car has just over 133,000 miles on the odometer and has been in storage for over 20 years. It was parked because the clutch was slipping so that was the first thing I repaired by installing a new clutch assembly. I'll go as far as saying the car has no rust. When I got it there were small amounts of surface rust that I cleaned up and treated with rust converter and then painted over with some spray paint just to keep them from rusting until it's able to be painted correctly, there are 3 small areas on the drivers side that are visiblein the pictures provided. The interior is blue in color and is in amazingly great shape for the age. The dash doesn't have any cracks, the seats look good and the door cards are all indecent shape despitea few small cracks on the passenger front door panel.The car does have the air conditioning option although I'm not certain that it's working, it feels like it's blowing a bit of cold air but I'm not 100% sure.I installed a brand new heavy duty aluminum radiator as the original had a small leak. I also replaced both outer cv joints as they were starting to make noise. I changed the oil, drained and replaced the antifreeze anddrained and replaced the old diesel fuel with newbefore I started it for the first time after being in storage. Iinspected the brakes and everything looks good in that department.I've put on over 4000 miles on the carin the year I've owned itand it runs and drives great.This is the first time I've owned a MK1 turbo diesel and there is quite a bit more power than the naturally aspirated 1.6 diesel asthis cargets up and goingto highway speeds no problem.

Tasteful mods include: short shift kit, brand new H&R brand sport lowering springs with new shocks and struts. Kamei brand old school hood scoop, BMW trunk spoiler (fits this car nicely), very nice corrado alloy wheels (siebrings I believe) with brand new tires, and a set of brand new small bumpers. The car does handle much better with the sportier suspension setup. Has an aftermarket radio CD head unit with USB and aux input, new speakers and 10" subwoofer and amp. It also had a recent alignment completed. I'm probably forgetting some minorthings I've either fixed or added. I'll try to dig up any receipts I have and will send them with the car at the time of sale.

The sunroof works as it should and I don't believe it leaks. I don't see any drops of oil or any other fluids on the driveway. I didn't check the exact mpg while I had it but I know these turbodiesels with the 5thgear (highway gear)can get over 45 mpg if driven nicely. I repaired the glow plug relay system that wasn't working when I got it and it now works like a champ as the car starts right up once the glow plug dashlight goes off.No excessive black smoke at startup, accelerating or cruising.

With the suspension upgrades, new cv joints, new radiator, clutch, and small bumpers along with the Kamei hood scoop, BMW rear wing, alloy wheelsalong with some other maintenance related items I invested a lot of money for maintenance and modifications.

Only selling because winter is coming and I need the space to store other projects + cash for other projects too :-)

I've been involved with MK1 VW's for a long time and have been through quite a few of them.I grabbed this vehicle when it was listed for sale on my local Craigslist because I know how rare these cars are getting. The last time I ran across a 4 door MK1 Jetta it was parked in the weeds behind a local businessover 25 years ago. I don't believe I've ever seen one driving on the road in my entire lifetime.

WORTH NOTING

The car does have its fair share of dings, dents and scratches. The windshield has a 6-7 inch crack and theseal was leaking so I covered it with clear silicone sealant as a temporary fix. The short shifter takes a bit of getting used to (you can revert back to stock setting very easily). The headliner needs some cleaning, the hood is sun faded and there are some small isolated spots on the roof where the clear coat is peeling. The speedometer seems like it's reading too fast. Although the car has NO overheating issues, the temp gauge quit working recently (I suspect the temp sending unit / sensor on the engine). While driving it does have some rattles but nothing unusual for a VW of this age.
