2001 Volkswagen Beetle Tdi With Greascar Modification on 2040-cars
Grand Junction, Colorado, United States
|
I have had this Beetle with the vegetable oil modification for the past eight years. It has always worked very well for me. The Greasecar conversion is quite reliable and the computer controls keep it working properly. The drive experience is just the same whether using diesel or vegetable oil. However, last year I loaned the car and it experienced a catastrophic engine failure. Not sure whether this was due to car, veg oil system or user. The engine was replaced with a similar used engine and rebuilt turbocharger. It has been used only with diesel for the past year. It once again works great. I am including the pictured car top carriers that are made for the car. For road trips they are needed as the spare tire space is filled with the veg oil tank. I just put the spare on the roof. When two people are traveling, just put the luggage in the back seat and four 5 gal cans of veg oil in the trunk. This gives you a range of over 2000 miles before refilling! And free fuel sure beats any other kind!! I have a second VW TDI that was converted at the same time. I will keep that one...
I have the starting price at the Kelly Blue Book "good" private party price. I will ask the potential buyers determine the value of the conversion to vegetable oil. Thanks! |

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As 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.
