With the car sitting on steelies, lighting returned to stock I'm looking for around $2500 or if you want everything I got for the car then I'll let it go for $3500.

Prices are negotiable and thats all I think

Nice car!  I wish I could import it to the states, but I don't see it on the EPA website.  Damn!

[Pfhettinga]

the body has 380,000km's and it doesn't have AC

Well it took awhile but my mechanic got back to me and the crank shaft need to be replaced. He quoted me at $1500.

[ricosuave]

so i take it the price will be adjusted accordingly?

I'm really interested in your car.  I live in Markham just north of Toronto and i need a set of wheels for next semester.  I am currently in my last year of high school, although i will be 18 around the time i will need the wheels by.  The broken crank shaft would have to change the price considerably, but other than that, I think your car is a very good value.  I would be interested in getting it, but not until febuary/march, whether or not you can hold off till then to sell it is up to you, but I will deffianately be looking for one like yours near that time.  Well its up to you.  I will let you sit on it for a while.

What caused the crank to let go?

(I've read that there's a bad sprocket on the 1.9TD's, and I'm curious if this is proof.)

Yes the crank pulley loosening is a very common problem on the 1.9TD. Do a search of any VW diesel bulletin board and you'll find plenty of cases. All 1.9TD's die this way, not just the occasional one, ALL of them.

 The trouble can be prevented by paying careful attention to the crank pulley and bolt. I would recommend removal and inspection or replacement at each timing belt change. Fitting a one way clutch alternator pulley also seems to help, it takes some of the torsional vibration out of the accessory drive.

this particular car had the crank sprocket let go as described by bruce, the sprocket/crank were replaced with updated TDI parts, but unfortunetly the problem returned.

I think the only permanent fix for the 1.9 blues is to have the sprocket end welded and recut for the tdi style sprocket.

I've heard of a guy who travels around in Ontario and will come and perform this with the crank still in the engine.  Mind you I just heard this third party and cannot vouch if it's true or not.
