This TDI served me well for over 2 years but it is time for it to go now that I am not driving such long distances to work.

Motor has some upgrades.  This is what the previous owner said he did to it:

"Stage 2 computer program - Fuel injector spray nozzle upgrade - Stage 3 durable clutch replacement with a solid extremely lightweight flywheel done at 158,000mi "

The body kit gives it a nice look but the front and back bottom parts have been cut off due to cracking. (see pics)

Here is what the previous owner said about the air box and the hood scoop:

"Hood with a custom air intake scoop, the hood scoop came directly out of Mark Martin's NASCAR he wrecked at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC and molded into the hood - Custom handmade aluminum airbox"

Has 18" Sitka Wheels, Tires have less than 10,000 miles on them.

New timing belt, tensioner, rollers, and water pump installed at 217,000 miles

Newer motor mounts (all three)

Had new brakes all around at about 220,000 miles

Always used Rotella T6 motor oil

AC blows cold

Has trailer hitch (I pulled a canoe on a trailer)

The bad things:

Headliner is staring to sag

Front and rear bumper lower fiberglass parts cut off due to cracking

Rear bumper has a small crack/hole in it on the driver's side

CD player works but is not fully seated in its slot.  (probably an easy fix but I haven't tried)

Exhaust pipe weld broke and exhaust hangs down right under the front seats. (see pic) Sounds pretty good this way and does not drag. Should be an easy fix.

Paint clear coat is starting to peel

Power locks on the front doors do not work (The passenger door can be locked and unlocked by hand; the driver door has to be closed to lock it by hand)

Paint is starting to crack around the hood scoop seam on the hood

Throwout bearing is starting to make some noise

Solid fly wheel causes some vibration when motor is under torque

Cruise control does not work

 

Please ask any questions you have.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
