This is a clean and well maintained 2005 VW Passat GL Wagon with the 2.0L Turbo Diesel.  I purchased the car with approximately 93,000 miles on it 16 months ago.  I have full service records since that time and performed quite a bit of preventative maintenance.  The car has just rolled past 115,000 miles and the money has been invested to keep it on the road for much longer. 

The car was a daily driver and very economic, often running just above 40mpg on the highway.  It has a smooth comfortable ride, especially on the highway.  I registered the vehicle in LA and then moved to TX and registered it here.  We have just purchased another vehicle so we no longer have a spot in the garage for this car.  Tough to let it go after putting so much money in to it and knowing she's set to run another 100,000 miles worry free.

I replaced the factory radio with a Kenwood DNX6990HD which has built-in Garmin Navigation, Pandora and iPod control, DVD Playback, Bluetooth streaming audio and hands-free calling (cost $999.99 new).  The speakers have also been upgraded.  Great sounding system which brings newer luxuries to this Passat.

Here's the list of major work that I have had done:

NEW Timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt roller, water pump
NEW Torque convertor
NEW CV axles, front struts, rear shocks, control arms, front rotors, brake pads, ABS Wheel Sensor
NEW Thermostat and auxiliary fan
NEW Turbocharger boost hoses

Most recent maintenance: Replaced Fuel and Oil Filter, Changed oil and performed Brake fluid flush @ 112,525miles.

Known issues: the car has intermittently displayed "Emissions Workshop" and the technician identified the air intake motor voltage as the cause.  Directly testing the motor showed voltage in normal range.  There is no effect on the engine performance when this fault is displayed.  If the air intake motor actually failed the engine wouldn't run.  I saw no need to change out the part as the fault was infrequent.

I can answer any specific questions you may have about the car, so please ask.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013


Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
