Mk4 TDI Wagon 6 Month Review/Update

[@wgfvideos3768]

If mechanics didn’t take off the skid plates 20 years ago we would all be getting another 4 miles to the gallon. One thing that holds a lot of traits is driving with a full skid plate and if you can fabricate one out of sheet aluminum or steel and it dramatically changes handling, very noticeable when driving through a pass on windy day! Keep in mind mid and rear skid plates also enhance mpg and has been proven! Try it out people.

Man! I love my 05 TDI wagon, I’ve always loved the fuel efficiency. Mine has 275,000 km’s and still goes as strong as new, you know, you deserve WAYYYY more subscribers. Keep it up!

My 05 BEW 4dr is rocking 205k 5spd manual.. loving it!

Love these cars. I have a 02 Jetta ALH, with 285,000 Miles, just did a timing belt change and it has a clean bill of health. Avg. 42-43 MPG mixed driving, and it is still too much fun to drive. My father has 2 ALH's as well, 330,000 Miles and 420,000 Miles. Both original motors (no rebuild) and he tows his wave runner or quad with it and has absolutely no issues.

I’ve had multiple and always regret every time I sell.

[@claytonjpga]

@@thefadshow actually thinking about picking up another ALH - 99 golf 2 door with 200,000 miles. Bring the family total to 4 haha

[@nimbusspacewagon]

Thanks for that. Looking for one myself. Super tough to find.

I just bought a 2 owner at auction yesterday 2005. It is an automatic. Sucks. But we’ll maintained and warning lights. Shifts good too! Even transmission shifts well. Has new Goodyears. Clean interior. I will have a video on my channel next t week

I'm looking for wagon diesel and one is for sale, it's priced 8k with 152k miles. Anything I should beware of?

[@thefadshow]

Engines are pretty bullet proof just the timing belts and occasional injection pump. Nothing I’d worry about. I would be more concerned about the body and chassis components being worn. They are pretty affordable on MK4s but will add up if they have been neglected.

I had a 2016 sport wagon. But VW bought it back due to pano roof leak

[@williamriedel1686]

Just bought one today, gave my ‘04 Golf TDI to my 17 y/o son. Share your sentiments on the Mk 4.

[@thefadshow]

Goodluck they are amazing cars!

[@rastaboy6626]

[@backtothefrontier2923]

[@JSB1729]

Nice man! I have a 2003 automatic with 330 000 km.

[@Sadik15B]

Caddy is a complete different platform.

[@jbads1989]

That’s because those topgear guys are spoiled and can not appreciate it.

[@richardfry19]

They don't review cars for the everyday person.

[@ryanjakiwchuk3459]
