 I have decided to sale my Syncro Westfalia Weekender. This was/is my daily driver but I have recently purchased a new vehicle so I am selling this one now. I've owned it for a few years after acquiring it as a unfinished project from a friend of mine. This was at one time a full westy, it was converted to a weekender and features a full width rear seat that makes a huge bed, a fold up table and one rear facing jump seat. This set up allows for a lot of extra space usually wasted on cabinets etc. I came to learn this most suited my needs as a camper but also as something I could still haul with if I needed to. Its great because you can fit a full sheet of plywood in it! The following work has been done since Ive owned the van. Complete brake rebuild, all new lines, hardware, master cylinder etc. Front brakes have recently been upgraded to Audi big brakes with dual piston calipers and vented rotors. All new fuel lines, and fuel tank straps. New clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. New clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. Has both upper and lower South African front grills, headlight relay upgrade for brighter lights. LED under dash lights, CD player. 16 inch Mercedes CLK Wheels with Hankook ATM tires with approx. 20k miles on them tires still have lots of tread left on them.  The front seats are the stock units but seat heaters have been added and are great on cold winter days. The interior is in over all good condition no rips or tears in the seats but they do show some wear. Front floors are Volkswagen hard to find factory rubber floors, the rear floor is marine grade vinyl flooring. The tent is an original unit that has a couple patches but still is in pretty good shape and will last a while before it would really need to be replaced. The motor is an 2.1 that is carbureted the FI was removed when I got the van. The head gaskets, water pump and various seals were replaced before it was installed 2 years ago. Its never left me sitting however I've only driven it locally and it has not been on any long journeys since Ive been driving it. There is no AC in the van at all. Transmission is a stock unit it has a granny gear and a locking rear differential. The locking diff works! The drive shaft was  pulled out of the van this past February as it developed a vibration which seems to be a common problem. It will be included with the van, but be aware this is a issue that will need to be addressed if you wish to reinstall it. I have been driving the van since then daily without issue. It will need new rear emergency brake cables and it needs 1 outer CV that I just discovered. Body is in decent condition it has various scratches and dings etc, it has some seam rust showing which you will be able to see in the pictures. Skylight is covered with plexi and does not currently open. If you have other questions lets me know. I'm sure I've missed some details, I will add to the description if I think of anything. Van is sold as is where is with no warranties or guarantees.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
