Phenomenal car. The stick adds value, it'll last forever. 40+ mpg and everything is cheap to maintain/own. Great daily! 200k mi is considered low miles for these cars. This is the famous ALH motor. It'll last as long as you keep oil/timing belts on it. I had the 2004 with the BEW engine. It would tow my 1200lb boat and trailer and still get 30mpg. Only thing wrong with this one is it doesn't have steering wheel buttons. It's the base model, and I prefer my creature comforts. There is a cult following for these old TDI's. The newer generation with the 2.0L common rail engine were even better, but most were bought back due to the emissions scandal. Those cars were LEGENDARY.

TDI enthusiast here, you scored on that one. A manual 03 TDI is a rather sought after car. They have their typical VW quirks but the drive train in that car is SOLID. They are fantastic cars when treated well and will get fantastic MPG. That's a $3K car all day long. Few things: 1. Timing belt, please do this ASAP. To be done right should be a complete kit with rollers and waterpump and requires lock down tools. 2. The shaking could be a bad dual mass flywheel. Sounds like its rattling. There are single mass conversion kits available. 3.Check the injector pump for leaks, common for the seals to go bad. You can reseal them for about $15. 4. Radiator fans go out all the time, make sure both spin when the AC is on. 5. Use rotella T6 for oil. 6. tdiclub is a great resource. These cars have a following and there is plenty of information on the internet to fix them. They are really easy to make more power as well.

hi randy, Been driving diesels for 20 years including this engine. The shaking is a failing dual mass flywheel, only happens when it's hot and idleing i.e when the clutch is not engaged. Eventually you will get swarf in the starter and it will not engage. The dmf can be swapped out with single mass equivelent.

Hello good afternoon ! I'm Paulo and I live in Portugal where diesel engines predominate over gasoline engines because of the price difference per liter of the fuel. If you can help in the maintenance of your engine VW 1.9 tdi available because I'm already in my 4 VW model. Change the oil for a semi-synthetic with the VW505 standard and the diesel filter do not forget to fill the filter with disel and to turn the key about 5 times before working them to not create air in the circuit. Anti-gongelante uses with the standard G12 pink. And he changes the thermostat and gets a car to make 500 thousand kilometers

When the timing belt is replaced, the injector pump is dialed in mechanically and via VAGCOM. If gonna keep it...have a local TDI guru do the deluxe TB kit Also, fill the tank to the top of the neck (push the little vent tab to the inside of the neck while fueling), and you’ll see 700 miles per tank around town! They are fun cars to own and get great mileage no matter how you drive them! If you’re going to sell it, then clean it, change the oil/filters and sell it for $1800.

*The 1.9 TDI engine here in Europe is considered to be the best modern diesel engine ever made.* These things are bulletproof if you give them a little bit off TLC. First, try to drain or burn the old diesel that's still in there. Then use some diesel injector cleaner. Also replace the oil, air filter and clean the ERG if you get an engine code for it. And try an Italian tune-up. It could clean the valves and ERG a bit. Also, don't drive the tank empty, this causes to get air in the diesel lines and then you have to bleed the system. _Have fun with it, they do drive funny I have to admit. But it has a shit load off turbo lag_

The engine out of the car is worth more than the entire car. The 1.9L ALH is a great engine to swap into Jeeps and small pickups, SUV's and even Miata's. Just don't skip the timing belt replacement.

I own a bunch of these, fantastic cars. Cant beat 50 mph and they are low maintenance. 10k oil changes. Like you said change timing belt kit. Timing kit swap takes me 4-5 hours. Just drive the thing! Best car you've bought bar none!

Its running fine. My son has one with 300 grand on it and it sounds just like this. Uses it every day and gets almost 50 mpg. The diesel fuel doesn't deteriorate like gasoline. Clean it up and use it. I had a non-turbo vw diesel rabbit back in the 70's. Also a diesel dasher in the 80's. They all sound the same.

Sounds good to me, I bought a brand new Skoda Octavia Elegance estate car 4 years ago fitted with a VW 1.6 TDI diesel engine as here in the UK due to low emissions there is no road tax to pay. The car returns 50 + miles to the gallon on a long run . Very low cost motoring !!!!

My family owns 7 mk4 TDI's with manual transmissions (alh engine) and that was an absolute steal at $600. Too bad about the paint job but get ready for 50+mpg and half a million more miles. My dad's put 600,000 miles on his and he's doing the 6th timing belt change. He's never replaced the motor mounts though, so I wouldn't worry about that unless you can feel the engine shaking through the pedals. Check out kerma tdi for their tuning system if you want 25 more hp and even better fuel economy. Happy trails man!

Randy, Diesel doesn't have ethanol so it's fine. It can gel up but it would have to be very old for that to happen. It sounds like a leak in the exhaust/fuel system

I had 2 Jettas of that vintage bolth had 1.8 turbskis and 5spd. I loved them . They got great mileage and my last one had 232k and still ripped when I sold it. Only complaints I had with them is if you left them for a week without starting them the batteries would be dead

I've got a 580,000 Mile Audi A4 TDi 1.9 AFN 110BHP. It's 20 years old, I've owned it from new. A brilliant old car, if you maintain it . You need to get your Jettas timing belt replaced ASAP. A relative also has an identical A4 with 693,000 miles on the clock. If looked after they'll run forever.

i would also check the injector harness in the engine bay, for a resistor or any wires spliced in for an evry mod, which tricks the computer and injector pump to push more fuel. which could cause the engine the shake like that.

Those are great cars. It was built before all the crazy emissions systems were implemented on diesels. I had one for a few years and it consistently got 45-50mpg. It might be due for a timing belt but it should last until 300k miles+. Throw some hot shot diesel extreme cleaner in the fuel tank.
