Don't be fooled by the mileage, engine rebuilt at 274,000 miles in 2012.  


I purchased this car in 2009 with 245k miles on it.  Ran perfect until the timing belt went out on me while driving in 2012 (that's bad), bending 2 valves and requiring the cylinder head to be re-manufactured by National Cylinder Head Exchange (Have all receipts and pictures).  So it basically has a new engine.  The cylinders themselves appeared in great condition when the head was off which I try to show in the pictures.  

Reason for selling:  My wife's Audi's transmission blew and we had to buy a 3rd car until we had the money to fix the audi.  Audi is now fixed and we have 3 working cars and now I only live a mile from work.  This was my "green" car that I loved and loved that it got 50MPG!! (but now I get to drive an Audi :)

When the head was replaced I went all out and replaced everything I could including, from my memory and included receipts:

  • Head, head gasket, cylinders, Cam followers/lifters
  • New valve cover
  • Both belts including the timing belt, tensioner pulleys and water pump
  • Thermostat and housing
  • Starter
  • All fuel hoses and clamps
  • Injector seals
  • Fuel Filter
  • Vacuum hoses
  • Coolant flange for cylinder head
  • Valve stem seals
  • Cam seal
  • Intake Manifold Gasket
  • Turbo oil feed line banjo washers, bolts and gaskets
  • Cleaned carbon from the turbo and intake
  • Exhaust manifold cleaning, new gasket, 
  • Engine Mounts
  • Glow Plugs
  • K&N Filter
After the engine work, the airbag light came on and does not shut off.  It must be a connector or sensor.  The car HAS NOT been in an accident and airbags have NEVER been deployed.

Has new rear tires, front have ~40% tread left.  Brakes are good.  ICE COLD AC (This is Florida).  Florida car no rust at all.  Car has premium sound with infinity rear speakers, touchscreen flip-out DVD player with USB and AUX input. Front door speakers are original but sound good.
  • Keyless entry
  • power locks
  • power window (back right window does not roll down)
The interior cloth is separating due to the Florida humidity (headliner and cloth on the doors).  Easy fix with some spray glue but never bothered me.  

The only minor issue is at HIGH RPM, the synchronizer between 1st and 2nd gear will grind a little.  If you drive like a normal person it is not an issue. Every other shift is smooth as butter.

I have not replaced the brakes or clutch since I owned it but I don't hear, see or feel any issues with them.

If there is anything I have missed I can be contacted through eBay.  Just ask for my number if you want to discuss but dont want to post my phone number in the listing.

I have made a brief video for you to view, thanks for bidding and you wont be disappointed in this car, I have already put my life savings towards repairing it!  Just kidding.  :)

I will not ship or arrange shipping, it will be 100% the buyers responsibility to get the car, it is being sold AS IS with no warranty. However, I can pick you up from the airport if flying in to drive it back.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen 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.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English

Wed, Dec 14 2016

The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.
