2003 Vw Volkswagon Jetta Tdi on 2040-cars
United States
|
Love this car and hate to part with it!! Consistently got about 40+ mpg. I purchased another car when the transmission started to slip and now really miss the mpg saving!! This car is a 2003 VW TDI Jetta, which I purchased from a seller in Florida. All the miles that I added to the car were highway miles. As you can see below the car is being sold because it needs transmission work. The interior is in great shape. The seats look new. All the power windows and doors work like they are suppose to . The exterior looks good for the car's age with the exception of the peeling clear coat on the roof.
Needs transmission work - slipping 200611 miles auto transmission (not a manual transmission) 1.9 TDI MECHANICAL: -NEEDS TRANSMISSION WORK INTERIOR: -the interior is in great shape. -seats and carpet in good condition for the age of the car. -glove box, arm rest, ash tray are clean and functional - power windows/doors all work great EXTERIOR: The paint is nice and shiny. There are a few area where the clear-coat is peeling (most noticeably on the roof) Antenna looks good. It does have a couple of surface scratches that are to be expected on any 10 yr old car The rest of the paint is pretty shiny and I didn't notice any other issues. As with all used car sales (and more so with broken cars) this car is sold as-is and where is. I make no guarantees to anything. THIS IS THE PREFECT CAR FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS A FIXER UPPER TDI WHICH GOT INCREDIBLE MPG Buyer must deposit $500 within 48 hours, non refundable. Buyer is responsible for loading and arranging shipment. |

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
