2011 Jetta Wagon TDI auto scan, worth it for the price?
A friend of mine is looking for an affordable daily that would be fuel efficient. One of the things we came across was a 2011 Jetta TDI, which I did an auto scan with VCDS. Nothing came up on emissions system faults, everything was electronic. To my understanding, its a coolant fan control circuit, (maybe a relay?) the turn signals on the mirror, which WORK, they just flicker like a dying LED bulb, auto HVAC, though the manual controls seem to operate it just fine, one airbag crash sensor, and satellite radio and navigation. The only one I'm truly concerned about is the airbag crash sensor, everything else seems manageable and backyard mechanic-able. They want $4000 for it, but, theres obviously room for negotiation. Its a former roadside assistance car. No clue if its been serviced for the DPF and EGR or not, but, it has no code for it, but at that mileage its either about to go, or just been replaced.
For anybody interested, this pastebin has the full VCDS scan.
