1988 Vanagon Westfalia Diesel / Syncro Conversion
This van is ready to anywhere. Currently has 133,*** miles, has a clean Oregon title with noted fuel type as diesel. This is not a TDI it is a Turbo Indirect Injection Diesel so there are no electronics to fail you out in the woods. The engine is very similar to the 1.9 AZZ motors and many of the parts are identical. The benefit of the 5 cylinder turbo is smother operation as well as a little more horsepower and torque. 


Items replaced and upgraded. 

1. 1 year old full window out factory white paint job removed exterior utilities for ensure no water gets into the van. All utilities still function great and water tank is filled from the inside with a hose to keep filling outside the van. 
2. GoWesty steel bumpers with intergraded rear hitch 
3. Round H4 headlights with high output lights and relays 
4. Audi 5000 Indirect Injected Turbo Diesel Rebuilt with ~1000 miles. 
5. New rebuilt injection pump and Water cooled Turbo Charger 
6. New injectors and Glow Plugs

11. South African engine carrier bar 
12. New hydraulic motor mounts 
13. Rebuilt transmission stock gearing to maintain the best overall performance and strength. 
14. New Audi 5000 clutch

16. Locking rear differential 
17. Locking front differential 
18. Decoupler for quick changing form 2WD to All Wheel Drive
19. New Front and rear axles and joints. New driveshaft as well. 
20. New GoWesty Syncro Progressive 2” lift Springs 
21. New Old Man Emu Shocks and Struts

28. Newer Pop top seals 
29. New 3 window acrylic GoWesty canvas 
30. Upgrade refrigerator 12 volt works way better than the original 3 way refrigerator (look at the pictures within 5 minutes the cooling section was down to 8 degrees 
31. Duel battery system 
32. Eight Mercedes 16 x 7.5 et46 wheels 
33. Goodyear MTR 225/75/16" tires in good condition mounted currently
34. AllTerrain Tire Set Wildcat tires same size as above 
35. Updated stereo system Kenwood CD player high performance speakers. Currently in protect mode, so there may be a faulty gound.
36. Sound deadening in all doors and panels

The list goes on and on. There has been a lot of work done to this van and it also has a lot of great upgrades. I really do not want to sell it, but I have relocated to Hawaii. I do not feel I need a Syncro as nice as this on a small island. This van wants to play in the snow camp in the woods and celebrate to open roads. I have this van listed in multiple places and if the van sells through thte other listings I will pull the ad. Please let me know if you have ay questions. 

One question I tend to get is what would you do next? I would add a water methanol cooler system, I feel this will bring out the best intake cooling as well provide more horsepower. Systems can be purchased for $500, I have already tapped the intake to make this modification very easy to complete. Currently I am in Maui and the van can be view at Halsey Imports by appointment. Please contact me if you would like to see the van or have a pre purchase inspection completed.

Aloha Joe,

Hyundai offers discounts to owners done with dirty VW diesels

Sat, Oct 29 2016

For Volkswagen owners that aren't satisfied with getting a payout from the company to make up for dirty emissions, and need to rid themselves of their polluting machines, Hyundai may have a solution. The South Korean automaker is now offering Friends and Family Pricing Plus on new Hyundais for owners of 2.0-liter diesel Volkswagens. A Hyundai spokesperson said it's "an alternative to potentially orphaned diesel owners that will be entering the market for a new vehicle." This discounted pricing plan, as listed by a dealer in Tampa, Florida, starts with the gross dealer invoice price, which includes destination and advertising fees. From there, the buyer gets $1,250 off the purchase price, as well as 3-percent off of the MSRP, excluding destination charges. Also, any current Hyundai incentives can be added to the Friends and Family Pricing discounts. A list of the eligible VW models is below: 2013-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible 2010-2013 Golf 3-door hatchback 2010-2015 Golf 5-door hatchback 2015 Golf SportWagen 2009-2015 Jetta 2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen 2012-2015 VW Passat 2010-2013, 2015 Audi A3 These incentives certainly make the prospect of a new Hyundai rather attractive, especially for VW owners with that sweet settlement money burning a hole through their wallets. The question is, will owners of these cars find any current Hyundais they like as much as their VWs? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
