Upland, Indiana, United States

Up for sale is a VW rabbit turbo diesel.  It has a hydraulic lifter head turbo diesel swapped into it from a later eco diesel model. This requires no valve adjustment. This is the most desirable of the turbo diesels because of its fuel economy and reliability.  The injector pump is completely rebuilt which costs several hundred dollars.  The engine has around 125,000 miles on it and has all new gaskets, new coolant, new water pump, new timing belt, new glow plugs, new coolant reservoir, new oil change, new clutch, new fuel filter, etc.  It has a performance air filter and tall geared 4 speed manual trans.  It runs 10 psi of boost and is a really quick, fun car to drive.  not slow at all like its non turbo brothers.

The suspension and steering sytems are completely new and rebuilt.  All bushings were replaced with poly bushings which dont wear out as quick as rubber and are a little more firm so it handles like a go-cart.  It has all new fuel and brake lines with new hubs and wheel bearing all around along with brand new driveshafts.  The tank was cleaned painted and replaced.  The interior is minimalistic with a racing seat and a factory seat.  factory driver seat will be included.  heat works.  all lights work.  wipers work and there is one key that works everything.   

car has minor rust on the tailgate pictured and some surface rust under the car.  nothing structural.  it is a very solid vehicle that I wouldn't hesitate to drive anywhere and should serve you well for hundreds of thousands of miles. No body damage, never has been in a wreck.  paint is faded and swirled but very few dents and dings.  windows are perfect. 

Has a clean indiana title.  odometer doesnt function and was replaced.  body has over 100,000 miles on it and engine has a little over that much on it and will run for many hundred thousand miles more. 

Ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them accurately.  I reserve the right to end the sale at any time as it is for sale locally.  A $500 deposit will be made within a day of the auction and the rest will be paid in cash in person upon pickup.  you can make arrangements to have it shipped but I would prefer you to pick it up in person.

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.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
