1983 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Standard Passenger Van 3-door 1.9l on 2040-cars
Clovis, California, United States
|
I recently got this Vanagon from the original owners (buyer will be legal second owner).
It had been sitting for a few years, and fuel lines had dried up and cracked. I replaced fuel filter and small portion of lines, slapped a new battery in, and it fired up! But...it doesnt want to stay running. I also replaced cap, rotor, all plugs, and cleaned the throttle body. Now it doesnt want to start again either...it cranks, but seems to not be getting fuel it needs to fire. Im pretty sure the injectors need a good cleaning and it needs timing, and it should be purring in no time. This is a watercooled engine, not aircooled. The original owners gave me some receipts, but not an extensive amount. They did have the engine replaced, and this one has around 60,000 miles from their recollection. I put a set of ok tires on the original 14" steelies, and all 4 original hubcaps are stored inside the bus. The interior definitely shows its age, but would surely be usable with a good cleaning. It is actually cleaning up nicely, but some wear to the seats and carpet. I put basic seat covers on the front seats for now. Dash is really nice. Couple knobs missing, etc, but minor things. I havent opened sunroof (oh yeah, its a sunroof model!) because the handle seems brittle. Owners said it was operational. Paint on the outside of the sunroof is actually covered in surface rust (this must be common for these). 98% original paint that is polishing out pretty well. Rear passenger quarter panel had a small repair with repaint, thats it. I am not really making money on this, i just need to get some of my money back to pay for engine work on my other car. No back fees due to DMV, but does need smog and transfer before sticker issued. I have the signed original pinkslip from original owners and dmv papers stating all fees paid recently. Buyer will be 2nd registered owner. If not sold in this auction, its going in the shop for tune-up and smog...then price will go up substantially. At close of auction, paypal deposit required. Payment in full within 7days. Seller will store vehicle for 7days at no charge. After 7days from auction closing, storage fees of $50 per day will be due at time of pickup. *As stated above: vehicle will not stay running and will need to be towed.* Location is in Clovis, CA 93612. |

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
