1986 VW Jetta Diesel 2 Door with WVO Conversion
This is a great little car that gets amazing mpg's, almost 50. It is solid and still running strong.
Cars runs and drives up to fourth gear. Transmission won't go into 5th and the clutch feels light but it still works fine. A friend of mine said that losing fifth gear is common as a bushing wears and the gear slides out of alignment.
Car has been garaged most all of its winters. There are a couple rust spots (which are NOT growing) but amazingly very little for a 27 year old car (see photos).
Check out photos of the clean doors and door sills!
Previous owner installed a DIY veggie oil kit. He said it works fine. I never used it As you can see in the photos the installation was much less than professional. Five gallon bucket in trunk you flip the switch and it starts pumping in oil. Wiring in engine compartment needs a neatening up.
Battery cable needs replaced as it is too short.
Exhaust has a leak.
Battery is older and will need replaced if you run it in the winter.
Temperature warning light blinks even when it's cold.
Sun visor needs replaced.
Glowplugs work, she starts right up and purrs.
Previous owner re-painted her flat grey (she used to be burgundy).
Tires are almost full tread.
All glass is good.
Brakes stop her fine..
Emergency brakes work but needs some linkage work where it connects to handle (see pic).
Tires are 80+ percent full tread with a good spare.
No fuel leaks.
I want to keep and work on this car but I have four other vehicles on the road and need to downsize the fleet. Can't do it all.
Please arrange for pick up. No guarantee it will go long distance but if it was me, and I was taking back roads (with no fifth) I'd try it. I may be more adventurous than some. That being said it would be best to trailer the car home.
$500 deposit through Paypal or a cashiers check within 48 hours of auction close. Balance as cash at pickup.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and thank you for stopping by.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
