I bought this car new and took delivery 12/28/2003. It has been a wonderful car and now I want to buy a new VW diesel. This car has shiny Black paint with Black leatherette interior. It has a great Turbo Diesel engine with a 5 speed stick shift. It has great acceleration and is fun to drive, yet it is a quiet diesel. I have driven this car 157,500 miles (approximately) at an average of 43 mpg which equals 9 cents/mile at $3.90 per gallon. On longer trips it has gotten near 50 mpg! This car is so good that I replaced the front emblem with a Mercedes emblem many years ago. It also is lowered 2" with a H&R lowering kit that was professionally installed. In dash Navigation was also installed using VDO Dayton Navigation that works off CDs (see photos). This was available in Germany and I bought a USA version from the German supplier VDO Dayton and had it installed. The professional installer did not connect the steering wheel controls to this radio but I am told that if I take it back in, they can make them work. Disc Brakes all around, Michelin Tires with plenty of tread left, Moonroof, 200 watt stereo/CD player are also standard in this GLS model and are working good. It has heated seats and mirrors but the drivers bottom quit working some time ago and VW wanted $500 to fix it so I get along without it. Drivers back and passenger bottom and back still work as do the mirrors. Mobile 1 or an equal synthetic oil have been used since new allowing 10,000 miles between oil changes. Currently the car runs great and uses no extra oil. This car has never been smoked in, has never had a collision, and has had only one driver the majority of the time (I am now 75 years). Once in awhile my wife drove it. $300.00 must be paid by winning bidder within 24 hours of the auction ending via PayPal. The balance must be paid in cash, or other cash type payment method. The title is clear with no liens. Two sets of 17" ASA aluminum wheels are available for $700 for Winter set with Bridgestone Blizzacks with years of tread left and $500 for Summer set with Bridgestone Summer Tires that have little tread left. These will be sold in separate auctions. I ran these wheels most of the time on this car and just replaced them with the original 15" Michelin tires and stock VW aluminum wheels. Look at our other auctions for slide rules, books, car parts, Coca Cola trays and other things that a retired Mechanical Engineer is parting with. I have 2 MG Midgets and lots of parts for them. Tell me what you need and if I have it, I will run an ebay auction with the part. Added 7/17/2014 This car is For Sale locally and if it sells here for more than the auction price, then the auction will be cancelled. So bid and lets get it sold on eBay! Timing belt has been changed twice, once at about 80,000 miles but more recently 4/12/2011 134,405 miles when the water pump quit. During that service at Maple Hill VW in Kalamazoo, MI they also installed new tensioner, idler, water pump, glow plugs, and a new battery. 6/17/2011 136,969 miles a local garage replaced the rear brake caliper pads with ceramic and installed new rear rotors. 12/3/2012 150,031 miles Maple Hill VW replaced the rear hatch emblem and switch because it would not work off the key fob. 8/3/2013 150,969 miles local brake shop replaced the front brake pads and a cliper frame bracket plus lube, oil, filter with synthetic oil. Car was lowered with H&R kit 12/7/2007 90,195 miles. All 4 wheels were realigned. Tires seem to wear normally. New clutch and flywheel was installed at this time. Within last 2 months, I had a local body shop remove rust bubbles from lip of left front fender and rear hatch, they could find nothing anywhere else. Not bad for a 10+ year old car but it is a VW! Oil, filter and lube were done again about 1 week ago even though the 10,000 miles had not passed. You might notice above that, if the miles on the invoices are all correct, there are times when I haven't driven this car much. I have 7 cars, 3 are diesels and these are my drivers, one is a Mercedes with AWD and I use it more in the Winter. I have 4 older collector cars 1929 Ford, 1957 Cadillac, 1970 MG Midget and 1975 MG Midget. |

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
VW rearranges leadership as brand focuses on electrification
Mon, Dec 21 2015The Volkswagen overhaul continues into next year with a raft of new executive appointments that CEO Mattias Muller says will enable "Faster decision-making and more efficient action." One of the headline moves is Porsche head of design Michael Mauer taking over VW Group design, succeeding Walter de Silva who retired in early November after running the Group's styling bureau since 2007. Among the sheetmetal on Mauer's resume are the Mercedes SLK and SL from the late nineties, the 2007 Porsche Cayenne, the Panamera, and, most recently, the 918 Spyder. He will retain his current role at Porsche in addition to the new responsibilities. Here's hoping some of the excitement seen in the 918 filters its way down to VW's recently mundane offerings. Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn was head of Group R&D from 2000 to 2003, then went to Bentley, then left the company for the German Association of the Automotive Industry in 2012. He has been lured back to his old role in charge of Group R&D, taking over the shoes recently worn by Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, who resigned in early December while still suspended over his involvement in the diesel emissions fiasco. Ralf-Gerhard Willner takes over Group Product and Modular Toolkit Strategy, after leading development vehicle concept divisions at Audi and VW, and being technical director at Italdesign Giugiaro. He will play a huge role as VW evolves and expands its current platform strategy to include purpose-built electric cars and flat batteries. All those bottoms will be in chairs in Q1 of next year. The number of department heads that report directly to Muller has also been cut, giving Muller more time to focus on "overarching issues of the future." VW says that primary among them will be technology issues from EVs to digital integration. Back in October the company hired Thomas Sedran away from Opel as a lead strategist, his job being to figure out how each of those technical departments and the Group's brands navigate the marketplace and those "issues" from now until 2025. The press release below has more.
