I have owned this VW
Eurovan Camper for over one year. I originally purchased the van from a
photographer in Boulder while I was living in Boulder, CO. I was a weekend
warrior in the van until this past summer. I lived in the van for over 4 months
while touring national parks of the west. I had always dreamed of visiting the
splendors of the west on my own schedule and this was the perfect vehicle for
my travels. I have a lifetime of photos and memories from my trip. Fellow VW
owners and other car campers made my trip unforgettable. If you have always dreamed
on traveling in comfort and simplicity, look no further than this reliable RV.
Be prepared you are about to join an elite group of Eurovan Camper owners and
adventurers. Long conversations will ensue about travels and the joy of owning
one of these unique vehicles. I have all the original paper work and
pamphlets neatly organized in a binder with page protectors. I have documented
and saved all receipts and maintenance records. First and foremost this van is
mechanically sound. All maintenance while I owned it and the previous owner
owned it was performed by Indian Peaks Auto (303-413-1163), located at 5757
Arapahoe Ave #D1 in Boulder, CO. These guys are the VW professionals in Boulder
and they can attest to the meticulous maintenance this van has undergone. New
front brake rotors were recently installed by Young’s Ole Volks Home in Bend,
OR. New rear muffler was also recently installed. The previous owner had the vehicle lifted 2
inches and also had 16inch tires installed from the factory 15inch. If you are
doing any kind of adventures in this vehicle or any VW Eurovan Camper, I highly
recommend having this essential upgrade done. I had previously test drove a non-lifted
VW Eurovan Camper and the handling difference is night and day. I encourage you
to do your own research and determine for yourself that the lifted vehicles are
superior. Also it should be noted that the lift provides additional clearance
for the low hanging LP tank and accessories. From the carfax reports I have run, I’m
told I am the 4th owner. During my time as owner I wanted to upgrade
and replace a few things to ensure I would have worry free and comfortable
travels. I designed and installed an adjustable plexi glass organizing system
in the rear wardrobe. I installed new Pioneer speakers throughout the cabin for
a clearer and crisp music experience. I installed a new battery operated Carbon
Monoxide Detector and a new Liquid Petroleum (LP) and Carbon Monoxide detector
that is hardwired into the auxiliary battery. I also installed new heavy duty
locking pop top struts. I also installed a Yakima Roof Rack System and Thule
Ascent 1100 Cargo box for additional gear storage. I had a custom made flannel
fitted sheet for the rear bed. I also purchased a GoWesty Memory foam mattress
topper. New struts on the top above the sink were also installed. There are
custom fitted heavy duty floor mats for the driver and passenger. I took the
time to also cut and install rubber shelving mats in all of the cabinets. I have also installed a K&N air filter. As a camper this vehicle has performed
flawlessly. The LP heater works amazing and can run on & off all night,
because it is supported by an upgraded heavy duty auxiliary battery. The fridge
works great and is normally run at 2 on the scale of 1-5 for cold because of
how efficient it is. Both stove burners work and can be lit at the same time, although
the owner’s manual does not recommend this. The tables work great for eating or
working and both seats swivel around for various seating configurations. Areas of the vehicle that should be
addressed are a crack on the lower portion of the driver side windshield. This
crack has not expanded or grown from the time I have purchased the vehicle,
even with the diverse climate here in Colorado. Since the crack did not spread,
I could not justify replacing the windshield. Minor screen damage on the pop
top camper, please see photos and video. I have done my best to stitch and
repair this screen. These campers in my experience are notorious for screen
damage. Dent from previous owner in the rear hatch on the driver side, please see
photos. Minor scratches on the front of the vehicle from normal road wear.
There was previously an awning installed on the passenger side of the vehicle
that I had removed and body filled back up. Each hole was not bigger than a
dime and was properly repaired. I have taken and uploaded over 100 pictures and a video to flicker, so potential buyers can see every aspect of the vehicle. I have no problem allowing test drives for potential buyers or answering any questions. This vehicle and the trips taken in it have been a highlight of my life. I have full confidence in selling this vehicle as a mechanically sound and clean van. Please note that the bike rack & bike pictured are not included with the sale of this vehicle. |

2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Quick Spin [w/video]
Thu, Jul 9 2015There are two particularly great things about diesel-powered cars: torque and range. The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg TDI has both in spades. We put 190 miles on our test car, and upon return, the computer claimed we still had 490 miles to go. We weren't even averaging the EPA-estimaged 29 miles per gallon highway. Plus, that's in a sport-utility vehicle with tons of room and a whopping 406 pound-feet of torque. That said, our most recent adventure with the Touareg wasn't totally positive. This thing feels decidedly long in the tooth, despite a 2014 refresh. Driving Notes The Touareg TDI's powertrain really is the star of the show. The 3.0-liter, turbodiesel V6 has been in service since 2009, but it's still a dynamite engine. With 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, the latter of which can be called upon at just 2,000 rpm, there's no shortage of thrust under your right foot. Turbo lag is an issue when you get aggressive with the throttle, but don't drive like a boob and you'll be fine. ZF's critically acclaimed eight-speed automatic delivers that power to all four wheels. But where other ZF-equipped vehicles deliver a crisper, sharper character, the TDI's trans is tuned for a far more relaxed driving experience. Upshifts are leisurely; the eight-speed keeps you right in the thick of the Touareg's broad torque curve. The suspension tuning follows a similar philosophy. It's far more comfortable than dynamic, soaking up all manner of bumps and general imperfections with aplomb. That said, the Touareg does not feel floaty or disconnected – just smooth. The greasy bits of the Touareg are very desirable, but the package they're wrapped in is less so. It's not that the interior or exterior designs are necessarily bad – fans of Earth tones will love our tester's Black Oak Brown Metallic paint and Cornsilk Beige interior – they're just kind of bland, or anonymous. The switchgear and buttons come from the Volkswagen parts bin, and while they're fine on a $20,000 Golf, these pieces aren't as appropriate in a vehicle that starts at more than twice the price. The dash plastics and faux wood don't look as nice as what's inside an Acura MDX, or even a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This mid-level Touareg TDI Lux starts at $57,580.
Volkswagen loses thousands of vehicles in Chinese explosion
Thu, Aug 13 2015Yesterday, a blazing, explosive fireball erupted from a port in the city of Tianjin, in China, lighting up the night sky and shattering windows with the force of 21 tons of TNT. Hundreds were injured and the death toll continues to rise, with the most recent reports claiming 50 were killed. While the human cost of this tragedy simply can't be overstated, it hasn't taken long for corporations to look into what the enormous explosion cost them. And for Volkswagen, the answer is quite a lot. According to our friends at Jalopnik, a Chinese source claims the German giant, which remains one of the PRC's most popular brands, lost thousands of vehicles. The automotive casualty sheet lists 1,065 Touaregs, 391 Beetles, 257 Tiguans, 114 Golfs, 84 Up! minicars, 39 SportVans, and 28 Magotans (a locally built version of the Passat). While those are the only vehicles listed, the Chinese source said over 2,700 vehicles were destroyed. For example, both Land Rover and Renault lost an unspecified number of Discovery SUVs and Koleos CUVs, respectively. The explosion also affected Toyota. Its research and design facility with joint-venture partner Sichuan FAW also suffered an unspecified amount of damage. You can check out the translated source article here. As Google Translate jobs go, though, this one is particularly bad, but it still offers some details of the automotive cost of this disaster.
