2003 Eurovan MV. Enthusiast owned, in perfect mechanical condition, with 110,091 miles. I purchased this van in 2008 shortly after it had come off lease at about 85,000 miles. Since I have owned it, I have maintained it religiously, with all fluid and filter changes exceeding VW recommendations. That includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, oil, air, cabin, and fuel filters. Transmission shifts smoothly and I've changed the ATF fluid and filter twice. Engine is perfect and all spark plugs were replaced. I replaced the water pump and serpentine belt as a preventative measure. The AC system received an overhaul with new compressor, expansion valves, and drier/filter. AC is ice cold and heat is blazing.
Bilstein shocks were put on the front and back. Rear tires are between 7/32 and 8/32 (70% to 80%) and front tires are at 6/32 or 60%. A Class 2 hitch was added only for carrying bicycles (never towed anything).
The van has plush LLoyd Mats in the front and rear passenger area. These mats look great and have excellent coverage, giving the van the feel of having new carpet.
Modifications include a Blaupunkt in-dash DVD Stereo that is wired to a custom mounted 20" LCD TV in the back. This mount is easily removable with the twist of a pipe connection. This is a rare non-weekender MV that contains an auxiliary battery. I had an auto electric shop make a custom wiring harness models after the German Weekender wiring harness. A high capacity auxiliary battery is installed under the drivers seat, with a custom fuse panel and new power leads at the rear of the seat. One of these leads provides power to the TV and the other provides an outlet for a refrigerator or other accessory. The TV outlet has an voltage regulator installed in-line. I've modded the electrical system so that all of the rear lights and outlets run off of the auxiliary battery and I've added a aux battery volt meter to the dash.
A 120V GFCI outlet has been installed in the cabin area, with an extension cord that is accessed from a faux foglight at the rear of the van. This is great for camping at site with electrical power connections and allows the use of 120v appliances in the cabin.
I've been using a Waeco Coolfreeze 35 quart refrigerator. This refrigerator is super efficient and runs for days off the auxiliary battery. I've attached a custom harness/hold down and anti-theft cable lock. I'm not inclined to sell this $$$ refrigerator as I can use it with my other Eurovan, but will include it with a full price offer only.
The van runs like new. The ONLY reason I am selling is because I just purchased a Weekender EV with poptop. I have two kids and we had been tent camping with this van. In fact, the bed has never been slept in. The van has almost all highway miles as we typically drove it on weekends to camp out of state.
The alternator was recently rebuilt and the van has a brand new starting battery.
Bonus items included with this sale include a full set of curtains that have never been used, a TomTom Go navigation device with power cord, and a radar detector (just because I have extras and don't need these). More photos can be sent via email.
The van is located 5 minutes from historic downtown Charleston, SC and surrounding beaches. Take a nice vacation and come get the van of your dreams.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
