1995 Vw Eurovan Camper Tdi Conversion Solar Diesel Power Winnebago Poptop on 2040-cars
Nevada City, California, United States
|
This is a one of a kind camper van. It started as a great one owner Winnebago camper van and was professionally converted to Tdi power by grease works in Corvallis, Oregon. It’s got a built up AHU/ALH/1Z hybrid engine with about 150HP . It’s built to deliver power without sacrificing the diesels longevity. The body had 258k miles at time of the conversion. Now has about 20kmiles on performance built engine, rebuilt and properly diesel geared 5speed tranny and all other moving parts (CV axles, steering gear, wheel bearings etc.). Late Passat aluminum 16"rims. Lifted 2.5”, bill stein shocks, nice Nokian van rated tires, mufflerectomy. It has new yakima racks and a pretty large cargo basket. Mounted to that is a 75watt siemens solar panel with smart charge controller and 1600watts AC converter for computer or other gear. The system charges whenever there’s light and keeps both (aux and main) batteries topped off. Custom stereo system with 6" sub built into the console in between driver and passenger seat, 6 new pioneer speakers, dual amps, separate audio controller for quick fade, subwoofer or tone level adjustments. Custom made european real sheepskin covers on front seats. European bull bar with high intensity LED floods. A/C, CD, MP3 and iPod hookups. Scan gauge and EGT gauge installed near radio for full info. 30-35miles/gallon. Biodiesel ready. Here in CA you won’t need a smog for this as it’s pre ’98. Since it doesn’t have a cat or muffler it sounds great with the turbo whistling. If you step on it it will smoke some, it’s a diesel :-) The camper aspect of the van is pretty much as any other winnebago conversion. It has the fresh and grey water tank hooked up to the sink and little rinse shower out back. 2 Burner stove top, 3-way fridge and heater work off of the mounted propane tank. The heater runs on 12 Volt and is great to heat up the van on cold camping mornings. It comes with 2 foldable tables that stow away nicely behind drivers seat. There are 2 bench seats in back which can be taken out if needed. The pop top creates a Queen size bed spread with zipping screened windows, lower bench seat folds down to a full size bed. I’m the second owner. It came with an additional seatbelt attached to the back of the passenger seat, which the previous owner installed to secure a wheel chair for a family member. The overall condition of the van is great. Everything is fully functioning. Cosmetically it has a few slight blemishes on the outside body as you can see in the video and pics.

I’m offering it locally too so I might take down the ad here if it sells local. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. |

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
