Up for auction is a rare MKII Volkswagen Jetta ECODiesel. Distinguished by its 1.6l turbo diesel engine and catalytic converter, the ecoDIESEL can deliver over 50mpg with its 5 speed manual transmission, making it a real economical daily driver. Includes a K&N cone air filter for a few extra horsepower and MPG. This particular car was rescued last fall with hopes of making it my daily driver. Drove fine with no issues on the 40 mile drive home, but has not been driven since. It was driven home, the diesel injection pump removed and resealed due to a leak, and I have been unable to start since. I replaced the timing belt and tensioner roller as preventative maintenance while the pump was removed. I am not a Volkswagen enthusiast nor a diesel mechanic, and this car needs someone who is a bit of both.

Partial records including:
03/01/13 New timing belt and roller
11/01/12 New floor mats
11/01/12 New expansion tank and cap
11/01/12 New front grille
02/08/10 New alternator
08/27/07 New glow plugs (4)
05/13/07 New rear drums and shoes
05/11/07 New battery
05/11/07 New front rotors and pads
05/08/07 New starter
07/01/05 New power steering reservoir

One service record indicates a mileage of 207867 in July of 2001, meaning only 28,000 miles in the last 12 years.

Pros:
Very rare model, one of 1 of 42 ecoDIESELs imported for the 92 model year
Beautiful interior, comfortable seats
Like new tires and brakes
Good suspension
Good clutch
Solid strut towers
Original keys (2)

Cons:
Currently not running, needs injection pump repair or replacement
Cracked windshield
Radio needs code
Some rust, not as much as most MKIIs. Not bad.
Missing front VW emblem
Passenger rear window needs regulator

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight 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 to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
