I am starting another project, so I am reluctantly selling my Subaru powered westy. This westy is very reliable, powerful, and a blast to drive with the Subaru powertrain. This van now drives like a modern car. Here is a list of the good and bad. GOOD: -1994 EJ22 2.2 liter Subaru boxer engine. Engine had 160K on it when installed, but had a complete reseal with new water pump, head gaskets, timing belt, gaskets, etc. at 150K. I used the complete smallcar.com conversion kit to install it including the full stainless steel exhaust, high clearance oilpan, flexible dipstick, and quiet power steering lines. -Freshly rebuilt auto transmission using the complete German Transaxle premium kit with new torque converter. I also added an aftermarket transmission cooler and rebuilt the cv axles at the time of the engine swap. -Installed new gas tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, and tank reseal kit. -Van has power steering and it is very tight. -I added an auxiliary battery setup with a yandina battery isolater and a blue seas fuse panel. All interior lights have been converted to LED and are wired to aux battery as is 12V outlets. I will be keeping the battery itself though. -New Polk Audio speakers in stock locations and aux cord added to CD player -New skylight and poptop seals -Fairly new shocks -All factory curtains, rear table, fridge, stove, sink, swiveling seats, cabinets, and camper misc are there. Stove works great. Sink pump turns on, but ive never used it. Fridge Condensor gets cold, but Ive also never used it. -New ignition switch and key tumbler -Higher power Porsche starter to spin Subaru engine quickly BAD: -Very minor seam surface rust forming. Seam rust is very common on the Vanagons and is usually much worse than this. There are no rust holse or pitting, and it would just take a bit of sanding and touch up paint to fix. -Missing sliding door interior panel. I have the original panel but it needs repair. There are many vendors that sell replacement panels. -Drivers seat worn as seen in pictures. I have a pair of blue Eurovan seats that I can include in sale if wanted. I have modified one of the Eurovan seats to slide into the existing seat tracks. -Bug screen in pop top canvas is torn. But the canvas is in good shape overall. -Tiny ding in rear quarter panel as shown in the pictures -Carpet has some stains, but is complete. -Camper hookup covers could use replacing. These can also be bought through many vendors. -The Mercedes 16" wheels only come with the van if I meet my Buy It Now price. If not, the van will come with the stock 14" wheels and hubcaps. Both sets of wheels have good tires. The 16" wheels make a huge difference in the way the van drives though. -I will be keeping the roof rack, but leave the clamp feet attached to the roof. This van is ready to go anywhere and it wont leave you stranded with the new powertrain. Feel free to ask any questions.Thanks |

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
