Hello there,

I am trying to sell my car and looking for a good buyer who wants to drive a professionally converted veggie oil car. I am looking for $4,500 or an offer.

Since, I am going to be attending school in the fall in a big city with a lot of public transit, owning a car just doesn't make sense anymore. I have owned my car for the past 6 years and it has been running on Veggie Oil since 2007.

This is an amazing vehicle that you won't find too many other places and will pay for itself in a few years! This 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 4A runs on Vegetable Oil and/or Waste Veggie Oil (WVO). There are 155,000 miles on its 4-Speed Automatic Transmission w/OD TDI 1.9L SOHC EFI I4 Turbo-Diesel Engine 90HP.

I bought it with 66,000 miles on it in 2007 and I have been driving it on Veggie Oil for the past 6 years. A few summers ago I drove up & back from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Munising, Michigan and it only cost me $12.00 in Diesel! So if you have a connection to a restaurant and can get FREE Waste Vegetable Oil, then this car will definitely pay for itself! That's $4500.00 divided by $4.00 a gallon for Diesel will equal 1125 Gallons of Veggie Oil or 250 Cubes of the 35-Pound Veggie Oil Jugs you can get from any Restaurant with a Deep Fryer (try to find oil that doesn't have a lot of meat cooked in it, and doesn't contain water and it will run better in the engine).


Here's the deets of your future car!!

• Professionally converted in 2007 by Fossil Free Fuels in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

• Electronic WVO Computer designed by FFF that switches to WVO automatically once the Veggie Oil has heated to the correct temperature.

• High-Grade Metal Parts that FFF machined themselves.

• 14.5 Gallon Main Tank is converted, so it holds 14.5 gallons of WVO!

• 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the trunk with separate Nozzle to fill up.

• Heated Filter (this is truck sized and quite large for this car) which allows car to switch over to WVO fairly quickly.

• Second Heater that WVO goes through before entering the Engine so you will never have to worry about your WVO temperature!

• Temperature Switches connected to the Electronic WVO Computer that monitors the engine temperature and knows when to automatically switch on & off the Veggie Oil.

• Electronic WVO Computer knows when you are almost out of WVO and switches automatically back to Diesel while you are driving.

• Electronic WVO Computer automatically purges & flushes ALL of the WVO out of your Fuel Lines by switching back to Diesel for 75 seconds when you turn it off (you can actually take out the Key and walk away and it will turn off automatically after the purge is finished).

• Electronic WVO Computer is fully adjustable so you can tweak it to your needs, and allows you to manually override it while you are driving.

• Automatic Transmission and the Engine runs great! Regular Oil Changes and never had engine problems.

• Black Exterior with Beige Cloth Interior. There are a couple chips in the paint, with many scratches on the bumpers, but no big dents. There is a stain below the gas tank nozzles where the Veggie Oil drips if you spill it while filling up. There are a couple of stains, scratches, and marks on the interior (some were caused by Veggie Oil) but it looks pretty good for its age. Some Interior Parts & Coverings are worn or broken and might need to be replaced if you want to make the interior look like new. Wind Shield has a chip in the low bottom middle section that is filled, and it was there when I bought it in 2007.

• Passed Pennsylvania Inspection in March (since it's a Diesel you don't have to pay for Emissions Testing in Pennsylvania).

• New Starter and Both Strut Mounts & Bearings installed last month by a dealer, with Front Tires recently replaced and aligned. New Window Shield Wiper Blades installed.

• Power Steering, Power Windows, Dual Front Airbags and Side Airbags, Rear Defroster

• Parts that need to be replaced are: Left Handbrake Cable is rusted, Restore Headlights (since they are fogged over), Control Arms might need replacing, Battery Tray is Broken where the battery sits. There is a slow leak of Diesel from the back with a couple of drips a day.

• Air Conditioner will need to be replaced for the summer. It is not leaking so it probably needs a new Compressor. Heater works well, but will pump out heat all the time until the AC is repaired.

• Yellow Warning Light has been on the past 6 years that I have owned it. These are little electrical problems that I didn't know how to repair. One is probably something to do with the interior lights not always working properly, or that when you leave the lights on the bell will not ding to warn you. If you hook the the Car's Computer up to a machine you will see all the little problems, but I have never been able to get them all fixed in order to turn this Yellow Warning Light off.

• I recently got the car computer looked at and these are the check engine light warning signs: #17057 #3 Glow Plug Electrical Fault, #17656 Start Injection Timing Regulation Control Deviation, #17964 Charge Pressure Control Negative Deviation, #16955 Brake Switch - Implausible Signal

• Someone rear-ended it in 2007 while my friend was borrowing it. This was a few months after I bought it in 2007, but that was all repaired professionally by an Auto Body repair shop, and was paid for from the other person's insurance money. It has not been in any other accidents since then (and I never loaned it to my friend ever again). My Driver Side-View Mirror was replaced when someone hit in while it was parked.

• Tape Player Stereo that works great with one speaker in the front passenger side currently not working

• Cruise Control

• 2 Vegetable Oil Filters included for the WVO Heated Filter

• Will run on BioDiesel, but only in the 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the Trunk

• Including a 5 Gallon and 1 Gallon Safety Cans if you run out of WVO and Diesel during a long trip

• If you don't have a Veggie Oil connection from a Restaurant you might be able to buy filtered Vegetable Oil from a Bio Diesel Company in your area. This car is not good for long road trips if you are only running it on Diesel or BioDiesel since you have to stop every 2 hours to fill up the 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the Trunk.

• This is not a car for someone who doesn't want to get their hands/basements/sheds dirty with Vegetable Oil. You can build your own filtering machine for the Waste Vegetable Oil you will be getting for FREE from Restaurants. There are plans on the internet for various different filtering machines you can build for about $300-$1000. Here's one idea of how to do it,  [url]youtu.be/eZw2VQD4nBs[/url]  but search around for the best idea. Expect filtering Veggie Oil to be a potentially dirty process and make sure you have a good dry area that you can do it in (and that can get a little messy).


If all of this interests you please email me through ebay or leave a message/text at 215-850-994Five. I can send you more photos if you let me know your email address. I would be looking for a Cashiers Check or Money Order to be able switch over the Title to you, and unfortunately I can't really do a loan for you since I am not a dealer. I am willing to drive within 5 hours of Allentown, Pennsylvania to meet you if this is a serious offer and you have the payment ready to go that day (and if you can drive me to a bus station to get back to Allentown). But please don't waste my time & fuel if you plan on haggling me down thousands of dollars for this amazing vehicle.

Thank you for your time in looking and don't delay on contacting me if you're salivating over this car. I'm posting this in many places and will be getting many offers. Don't delay on Saving the World!!

Mercedes, Nissan and VW slammed by China's CCTV

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Several automakers in China, including joint ventures with Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, are in hot water because their dealers are allegedly overcharging customers for repairs. China Central Television, the country's state broadcaster, leveled the claims during its annual Consumer Day expose. CCTV runs these reports each year on March 15 and often takes aim at foreign companies operating within China. This year the focus fell on automakers, according to the Financial Times, and no domestic car companies were targeted. The network also accused dealers of overselling parts, and it took aim at Jaguar Land Rover specifically for problems surrounding transmission repairs, according to Reuters. The yearly stories are often criticized for focusing on outside businesses. "It panders to a certain type of nationalism as it tends to target foreign companies and rarely touches large state groups or monopolies," Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said to the Financial Times. Foreign automakers seem to face tighter scrutiny when doing business in China than their domestic counterparts, in general. The government there investigated several luxury brands, including Audi and BMW, last year for how they supplied spare parts and whether the components were overpriced. Some incurred fines, and Lexus decided to lower its prices. Volkswagen also experienced protests when owners felt the company wasn't handling a recall properly. The CCTV report also comes as many auto dealers in China are feeling a pinch due to high mandated sales targets from automakers. The situation was so dire in early 2015 several brands cut back sales targets and in some cases even paid the sellers to offset poor profits.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.
