You've found an 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI GLS Station Wagon that has lived it's one owner life in south Florida. The original owner is a VW guy, previous cars and the replacements to this were VW's. He was lucky enough to have lived near a dealership that is quite familiar with not only TDI's but Passat TDI's. When the engine started to show signs of a worn balance shaft chain they new just what to do. They replaced it with the factory fix for the weak link of these cars, a gear driven drive system. For those who don't know bad things can happen if this isn't done, don't buy a 04-05 Passat that has not had this addressed without budgeting around $3000.00 for repairs. Now that this has been done it is ready to be driven. These are one of VW's best driving cars in my opinion and the only years (04 & 05) you can get a TDI wagon without going back to a 96 or 97. These are actually a German built VW unlike most and yes, it does make a difference in quality and workmanship. The timing belt, water pump service and gear'ed balance shaft were all done at 83k miles so that should give you roughly 40k to 50k before needed. The reflex silver paint shows nicely and the body is in very good condition and looks to be all original, I would say it is well above average condition for an 2005. Inside the gray interior is clean and looks very presentable although the previous owner used his wagon as it was designed to be used. By this I mean he did haul things in it so the rear compartment does have minor scuff marks from sliding cargo in and out. The drivers compartment does show minor wear but nothing more than anyone would expect on a used car. The only flaw I would think to mention would be there is the smell of what I believe to be hay if the car sits for a couple of days with the windows up and then you turn on the A/C when starting. To me it's much less noticeable than a smokers car and the smell does go away shortly after driving. These cars are hard to find partly because they only imported so few of them and partly because they are Bio diesel friendly. The reason I enjoy the B5.5 series Passat's is that they are actually fun to drive, the 2.0l turbo diesel makes great power and is actually quick which in turn makes them great on the open road. There is no comparison to a jetta due to the larger size and much better ride. Many people report low 40MPG on the road and high 20's to low 30's in town. Bottom line, these are great cars and this is a nice example although not perfect it's priced right.

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally

Tue, May 19 2015

Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? Â– and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
