Hi All,
Looking at a 2000 Beetle TDI 5sp, AC, PW, PL, 190K miles
Car is rust free and clean outside (only damage is 1 fog light missing and lower grill damaged / missing....1 dent along lower rocker panel).
AC does not work, PW (both) do not work, clutch engages high up (don't know if that means worn clutch?....Can it be adjusted to engage lower / earlier?
A check engine light is on and the car is low on power (can make 65 on the highway if relatively flat or 47 mph on a steeper hill with pedal to the floor (no coal tho)....owner says it is a bad vacuum actuator (he put a vac gauge on it and could not pull a vacuum....he assumes a torn diaphram).
Tires worn evenly and had about 80% tread left (not a big name brand name tho).
State inspected within the last month.
The brakes make a grinding noise when applied but don't feel like metal on metal through the pedal...not sure why the noise but probably grit or needing new pads?
Oh...there is a rattling noise under the hood...Maybe a idler pulley or ??...owner thought bad AC compressor noise...
Timing belt supposedly done last year.....he was looking for receipt tho.
Engine did not seem to have any blow by but I did see a drip or two of oil under the parked car...
Anyways, what do you think a fair price for this car would be? How hard are the fixes?
Thanks!
Andrew
