Frankfort, Indiana, United States

As listed above, I have a 2006 VW Jetta TDI. The car has 120,XXX miles. It is not in perfect condition, the paint is good some swirl marks but could be buffed out with high speed buffing. The front bumper bottom air intake has a small crack in one of the slates. The wheels have scuff marks where it scrubbed a few curbs. The front tires will need replaced soon, the back tires are almost new. The trunk has an issue, sometimes it won't unlatch. The interior is in good condition, there are a few little tears in the center console leather. The back passenger seat belt has a fray in it. The headlights on the front are glossed over from the sun (seems to be an issue with 06 TDIs). The car has always been garage kept, and serviced at all intervals.

 

Now, to get to main part... This car has never had an issue until about three months ago. My mother was driving it, and it fell on its face and was dumping black smoke. I pulled it in my shop, threw a new fuel filter on it, started up, but wouldn't stay running for more than a few minutes. I replaced the ASV (Anti-Shutter Valve) and Mass Air Flow sensor. The car started and ran, but still sluggish. I inspected the crank, the timing, etc. etc. everything is in good order there. I recently rebuilt the turbo, and cleaned all the vacuum lines for the N75 valve. At this point, the car runs and drives, but doesn't have the get-up-and-go it use to have. I am sure it is the N75 went bad or something fairly cheap and easy, because I have inspected everything else. I have 2 trucks and this car, and I need to quit putting money into this, so would just like to sell it as is to someone who wants to fix it up and have a very nice fuel efficient vehicle. Like I said, the car is in pretty good shape overall for the year and miles, but it does have a slight issue still. I'm not looking to give it away, so don't send me low-ball offers. Message me with any other questions or more pictures.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
