Year: 1999 Make: Volkswagen Model: Jetta Mileage: 295,012 VIN: 3VWSF29M1XM011456 Drivetrain: FWD Engine: 1.9 ALH TDI Transmission: Manual Fuel: Diesel Color: Red Title: Clean Registration: Will need new plates and registration Up for auction is a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, equipped with the legendary 1.9-liter turbo diesel inline-four engine paired with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Known for their outstanding fuel economy and long engine life, these Jettas were among the most efficient and dependable commuters of their time—valued by enthusiasts for their durability and simple mechanical design. The exterior of this Jetta is in fair condition, showing some typical cosmetic wear for its age, including peeling clear coat and rust behind the front wheel wells. The interior presents similarly, with expected wear and tear, yet remains mostly intact. The headliner has been tacked in place, and the radio will require the factory security code (accessible from the rear of the unit) to restore functionality. Mechanically, this vehicle has performed well and was recently used as a reliable commuter between the Matanuska Valley and Anchorage. The engine benefits from several recent maintenance items, including a new serpentine belt and idler pulley, intake cleaning, turbo actuator, EGR delete, MAF sensor, and a new vacuum pump. The seller also notes the car may have been "tuned" by a prior owner, though this cannot be confirmed. We also note that the parking brake is inoperable and the vehicle had check engine lights. There are two codes related to the absence of the EGR and one related to glow plugs. Aftermarket additions include a magnetic roof-mounted LED light bar, boost gauge, and upgraded LED fog lights. The 1.9L TDI engine is rated at approximately 90 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, delivering an estimated 40–45 miles per gallon on the highway - one of the reasons this model remains a favorite among economical diesel fans. And while this vehicle does have what many would consider high mileage, these engines are known to reach upwards of 500,000 miles. Overall, this Jetta TDI runs well for its age and presents an excellent opportunity for a practical daily driver, project car, or fuel-efficient winter commuter. *This vehicle description is based on general observation and does not constitute a comprehensive inspection or guarantee of condition.
