I am starting another project, so I am reluctantly selling my Subaru powered westy. This westy is very reliable, powerful, and a blast to drive with the Subaru powertrain. This van now drives like a modern car. Here is a list of the good and bad. GOOD: -1994 EJ22 2.2 liter Subaru boxer engine. Engine had 160K on it when installed, but had a complete reseal with new water pump, head gaskets, timing belt, gaskets, etc. at 150K. I used the complete smallcar.com conversion kit to install it including the full stainless steel exhaust, high clearance oilpan, flexible dipstick, and quiet power steering lines. -Freshly rebuilt auto transmission using the complete German Transaxle premium kit with new torque converter. I also added an aftermarket transmission cooler and rebuilt the cv axles at the time of the engine swap. -Installed new gas tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, and tank reseal kit. -Van has power steering and it is very tight. -I added an auxiliary battery setup with a yandina battery isolater and a blue seas fuse panel. All interior lights have been converted to LED and are wired to aux battery as is 12V outlets. I will be keeping the battery itself though. -New Polk Audio speakers in stock locations and aux cord added to CD player -New skylight and poptop seals -Fairly new shocks -All factory curtains, rear table, fridge, stove, sink, swiveling seats, cabinets, and camper misc are there. Stove works great. Sink pump turns on, but ive never used it. Fridge Condensor gets cold, but Ive also never used it. -New ignition switch and key tumbler -Higher power Porsche starter to spin Subaru engine quickly BAD: -Very minor seam surface rust forming. Seam rust is very common on the Vanagons and is usually much worse than this. There are no rust holse or pitting, and it would just take a bit of sanding and touch up paint to fix. -Missing sliding door interior panel. I have the original panel but it needs repair. There are many vendors that sell replacement panels. -Drivers seat worn as seen in pictures. I have a pair of blue Eurovan seats that I can include in sale if wanted. I have modified one of the Eurovan seats to slide into the existing seat tracks. -Bug screen in pop top canvas is torn. But the canvas is in good shape overall. -Tiny ding in rear quarter panel as shown in the pictures -Carpet has some stains, but is complete. -Camper hookup covers could use replacing. These can also be bought through many vendors. -The Mercedes 16" wheels only come with the van if I meet my Buy It Now price. If not, the van will come with the stock 14" wheels and hubcaps. Both sets of wheels have good tires. The 16" wheels make a huge difference in the way the van drives though. -I will be keeping the roof rack, but leave the clamp feet attached to the roof. This van is ready to go anywhere and it wont leave you stranded with the new powertrain. Feel free to ask any questions.Thanks |

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
