This TDI served me well for over 2 years but it is time for it to go now that I am not driving such long distances to work.
Motor has some upgrades. This is what the previous owner said he did to it:
"Stage 2 computer program - Fuel injector spray nozzle upgrade - Stage 3 durable clutch replacement with a solid extremely lightweight flywheel done at 158,000mi "
The body kit gives it a nice look but the front and back bottom parts have been cut off due to cracking. (see pics)
Here is what the previous owner said about the air box and the hood scoop:
"Hood with a custom air intake scoop, the hood scoop came directly out of Mark Martin's NASCAR he wrecked at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC and molded into the hood - Custom handmade aluminum airbox"
Has 18" Sitka Wheels, Tires have less than 10,000 miles on them.
New timing belt, tensioner, rollers, and water pump installed at 217,000 miles
Newer motor mounts (all three)
Had new brakes all around at about 220,000 miles
Always used Rotella T6 motor oil
AC blows cold
Has trailer hitch (I pulled a canoe on a trailer)
The bad things:
Headliner is staring to sag
Front and rear bumper lower fiberglass parts cut off due to cracking
Rear bumper has a small crack/hole in it on the driver's side
CD player works but is not fully seated in its slot. (probably an easy fix but I haven't tried)
Exhaust pipe weld broke and exhaust hangs down right under the front seats. (see pic) Sounds pretty good this way and does not drag. Should be an easy fix.
Paint clear coat is starting to peel
Power locks on the front doors do not work (The passenger door can be locked and unlocked by hand; the driver door has to be closed to lock it by hand)
Paint is starting to crack around the hood scoop seam on the hood
Throwout bearing is starting to make some noise
Solid fly wheel causes some vibration when motor is under torque
Cruise control does not work
Please ask any questions you have.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
