$1500
Located in Calgary, AB Canada.
Car is an ex, Kamloops BC car (Thus the no rust). Recently passed out of province inspection.
I am selling my 1986.5 jetta wolfsberg jetta with absolutely no rust other then three tiny surface bubbles.
Sunroof, 5spd turbo diesel.
397,000 kms
Comes with factory service manual.
New suspension (8 ish months old).
Brand new beru glow plugs (2 months old).
Stock Injector Nozzles.
Brand new front upper shock mounts(2 months old).
Wategate Blocked Off.
Little bit of fuel screw mod.
Brand new air filter.
Popped valve cover and it appears the cylinder head/camshaft has been replaced and is not original.
Also comes with GTD nozzles, and 3 extra working glow plugs I had. I decided to replace all 4 when one died, who know why....
Car runs and drives, but it doesnt run very well...
The problem with the car is I seafoamed the engine and fuel system and about 20 mins after that it started missfiring and knocking. I dont have the time or money to try and find out what the **** it did to the motor. I dont really want this car anymore and I just want to get what i'm asking for it.
Pictures will be upped later today.

what is seafoamed?
-
I bought that seafoam stuff from auto supply store (cant rememebr which one), you can put it on oil and gas tank and it apparently cleans all carbon etc out of valves injectors everything.
There are some threads on how to do it to the new tdi engines at tdiclub.org or whatever the site is.
-
It could be that it's just the seafoam released some crap from the tank and clogged the nozzles or something or release stuff from the filter, I dont really have any time to even do those, i'm taking an amazingly massive loss on this car. But it was fun working on it.
-
If you put it in the tank then it's just a clogged fuel filter. Seems awfully hasty to sell a car over it and take such a huge loss.
