1992 Vw Jetta Eco-turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Richboro, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I have a 1992 Jetta for sale. I have driven this car for the last seven years and put on 120,000. Recently it started to get oil in the coolant which is a sign that the head gasket is leaking so I decided to replace the head gasket. While removing the head bolts, two of them snapped. I got the head off but the bolts are still in the block and will have to be drilled out. Because I drive this to work every day, 80 miles round trip, I kept it maintained fairly well. It has good tires, the glow plugs were replaced in 2012 for last winter, the front and rear struts were replaced, the right side inner and outer tie rods, the left side outer tie rod, both lower ball joints, and the front end aligned within the last 20,000 miles. It tracks straight. The exhaust system is new from the header pipe to the tailpipe. The new header pipe does not have a catalytic converter in it. Most of the mileage I put on this car is on I-95 going to the airport. The injector pump was replaced 2 years ago. Within the last 10K miles I replaced the 4 injectors and the fuel tubes from the injector pump to the injectors.(all new, nothing used or rebuilt) Since the head is off you can view the valves and top of the pistons to see that there is no damage. The car has over 300K miles and although it ran good when I started this, I considered popping out the pistons and re ringing them. Half the work is done and it would zero time the engine. If you are not familiar with the Eco turbo diesels, as I was not when I bought this car, in 1992 there were only 52 of them made and of those only 47 were sold before they switched the line over to start making the newer MK3's. In 1992 when the last one came off the line they were already rarer that a '57 T-Bird.
Check out the history of the 1991 and 1992 Eco Turbo Diesels at http://www.oocities.org/vwecodiesel/overview.htm There are engine blocks on ebay for $250 for anyone that has the energy to re ring the pistons, you could have a zero time short block. |

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
