2006 Volkswagen Vw Jetta Tdi Diesel 5spd on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:258764

Friendsville, Tennessee, United States

This vehicle is a very clean car with 258,XXX miles and typical wear for that mileage.  A few scratches and dings but nothing major.  It does have a power draw related to the radio but only when the radio fuse is plugged in.  Please do your research on this issue - we have not had it repaired, just driven it without the radio fuse in.  Otherwise, it dies if not started every other day or so.  Besides that, it is a very dependable vehicle that starts on the coldest days and gets 38+ mpg of diesel.  It's been a daily driver since we bought it two years (and almost 20,000 miles) ago and has had several upgrades and all the regular service, including the following:

  • Upgraded with Sachs solid fly wheel and clutch kit (good to approx. 300 foot pounds of torque!)
  • Serviced transmission with synthetic Mobil1 fluids at the time of clutch upgrade
  • Bora brand cam lifters, bearings and valve cover gasket
  • New timing belt, water pump
  • New serpentine belt
  • EGR delete, which causes check engine light to remain on
  • New boost control valve (Bora)
  • New 18" tires (only 10k miles on them) on VW factory rims
  • New rear brakes and rotors (Mintex brand); wasn't ready for Front pads, but those come with the car for when they're needed
  • Turbo was replaced with low-mileage, 60,000-mile turbo due to bad actuator
  • New battery
  • All oil changes done with Total 505.01 synthetic oil and Mann filters
  • New fuel lift pump (from dealer)
  • Comes with three keys, owners manual, original window sticker

Features:

  • Diesel
  • Heated front seats
  • Cold weather package
  • Sunroof
  • Power windows and locks
  • Power drivers seat
  • Manual 5-spd transmission
  • CD player
  • Cold air / Hot heat
  • Cruise control
  • Airbags

Bought this car as a project and have really enjoyed it.  We do have a loan on the car and will use funds from the sale to pay off the loan, after which we will be able to forward the title to the purchaser.  We'd be happy to share the bank's contact info with the buyer to arrange the transaction.  Feel free to ask questions if we've left anything out.  Thanks!

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
