2004 Volkswagen Jetta Gls 1.8l Turbo on 2040-cars
Warwick, New York, United States
Up for auction is a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8l Turbo in Reflex Silver. This car has 198,438 miles. The original transmission has been replaced (I can show receipt). I have kept a log on everything I have done to this car including oil changes, tire changes, tune-ups, timing belt replacement, etc. The MIL(Malfunction Indicator Lamp)is currently on due to a vacuum leak caused by a bad Brake Booster pump. This part runs for about $200 on Germanautoparts.com. It runs fine when accelerating but does experience some engine shutter when stopped or idling. Here is a list of the parts I have replaced recently:
These are the current fault codes causing the check engine light:
Again, I believe these fault codes are being caused by the bad Brake Booster Vacuum pump. I have replaced every other part that could have caused the vacuum leak. I have the original manuals and (2) sets of key fobs. A Volkswagen fitted cargo mat is also included. I will also include my VAG Scanner as an extra to the winning bidder. This car will run like new once the Brake Booster Pump is fixed as I have replaced almost every major part requiring a large investment (transmission job alone was $2,200). I average 27-28 MPG on the highway in this Jetta. Air conditioning still works, ice cold! In the interest of full disclosure I have included all the issues known to me. See arrows in pictures pointing out body damage. This is my daily commuter car so actual mileage will increase by end of the auction. The vehicle is sold as is, no warranty. Please feel free to email me with any questions. |

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
