I recently got this Vanagon from the original owners (buyer will be legal second owner).
It had been sitting for a few years, and fuel lines had dried up and cracked.
I replaced fuel filter and small portion of lines, slapped a new battery in, and it fired up!
But...it doesnt want to stay running. I also replaced cap, rotor, all plugs, and cleaned the throttle body.

Now it doesnt want to start again either...it cranks, but seems to not be getting fuel it needs to fire.
Im pretty sure the injectors need a good cleaning and it needs timing, and it should be purring in no time.

This is a watercooled engine, not aircooled.
The original owners gave me some receipts, but not an extensive amount.
They did have the engine replaced, and this one has around 60,000 miles from their recollection.
I put a set of ok tires on the original 14" steelies, and all 4 original hubcaps are stored inside the bus.
The interior definitely shows its age, but would surely be usable with a good cleaning. It is actually cleaning up nicely, but some wear to the seats and carpet.

I put basic seat covers on the front seats for now. Dash is really nice. Couple knobs missing, etc, but minor things.
I havent opened sunroof (oh yeah, its a sunroof model!) because the handle seems brittle. Owners said it was operational. Paint on the outside of the sunroof is actually covered in surface rust (this must be common for these).

98% original paint that is polishing out pretty well. Rear passenger quarter panel had a small repair with repaint, thats it.
I am not really making money on this, i just need to get some of my money back to pay for engine work on my other car.

No back fees due to DMV, but does need smog and transfer before sticker issued.

I have the signed original pinkslip from original owners and dmv papers stating all fees paid recently. Buyer will be 2nd registered owner.
If not sold in this auction, its going in the shop for tune-up and smog...then price will go up substantially.

At close of auction, paypal deposit required.

Payment in full within 7days. Seller will store vehicle for 7days at no charge.

After 7days from auction closing, storage fees of $50 per day will be due at time of pickup.

*As stated above: vehicle will not stay running and will need to be towed.*

Location is in Clovis, CA 93612.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW

Tue, Nov 29 2016

It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
