1986 VW Jetta Diesel 2 Door with WVO Conversion
This is a great little car that gets amazing mpg's, almost 50. It is solid and still running strong.
Cars runs and drives up to fourth gear. Transmission won't go into 5th and the clutch feels light but it still works fine. A friend of mine said that losing fifth gear is common as a bushing wears and the gear slides out of alignment.
Car has been garaged most all of its winters. There are a couple rust spots (which are NOT growing) but amazingly very little for a 27 year old car (see photos).
Check out photos of the clean doors and door sills!
Previous owner installed a DIY veggie oil kit. He said it works fine. I never used it As you can see in the photos the installation was much less than professional. Five gallon bucket in trunk you flip the switch and it starts pumping in oil. Wiring in engine compartment needs a neatening up.
Battery cable needs replaced as it is too short.
Exhaust has a leak.
Battery is older and will need replaced if you run it in the winter.
Temperature warning light blinks even when it's cold.
Sun visor needs replaced.
Glowplugs work, she starts right up and purrs.
Previous owner re-painted her flat grey (she used to be burgundy).
Tires are almost full tread.
All glass is good.
Brakes stop her fine..
Emergency brakes work but needs some linkage work where it connects to handle (see pic).
Tires are 80+ percent full tread with a good spare.
No fuel leaks.
I want to keep and work on this car but I have four other vehicles on the road and need to downsize the fleet. Can't do it all.
Please arrange for pick up. No guarantee it will go long distance but if it was me, and I was taking back roads (with no fifth) I'd try it. I may be more adventurous than some. That being said it would be best to trailer the car home.
$500 deposit through Paypal or a cashiers check within 48 hours of auction close. Balance as cash at pickup.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and thank you for stopping by.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
