1996 Volkswagen Passat Tdi Wagon on 2040-cars
Bellingham, Washington, United States
Passat B4V-TDI #744, Wolfsburg Edition
1996 VW Passat B4V-TDI Wagon #744.
This is one of the original 980 B4V-TDI wagons sold in the US in 1996.
It is one of the remaining 622 still registered in the US. This Passat B4V #744 was built 7-12-96 at the Audi assembly plant in Emden, Germany. It
was shipped to a VW dealer in Boulder, Colorado and sold new on 8-6-96. The
original owner lived in Colorado until 2006 when he moved to Oregon.
The Wagon was in Oregon until 2012 when it was purchased by NICECARS.
This B4V Wagon has always been a western car, important in that it was
not subjected to the salty winter roads of the Northeast section of the
US. Western/Southern cars are the best. This wagon gets 50 MPG
using pump diesel on the highway. We found no
evidence this B4V-TDI Wagon had any accidents (history report shows NO
accidents) and we are convinced it had original paint when it arrived at
NICECARS. The original paint on the roof and the
hood were dull so it underwent a full repaint, base/coat clear/coat with PPG
paint. The clear was color-sanded and buffed/polished to a high shine.
It was painted the original "Emerald Green Pearl Metallic, LC6P/W7. The
mechanical upgrades include new air filter, new fuel filter, new cabin
filter, new German timing belt, new tensioner, new Serpentine belt, new
roller, new v-belt, new water pump (German with steel impellers) new
valve cover gasket, new intake to turbo pipe, cleaned intake manifold, cleaned inner cooler,
replaced clamps on turbo cooler tubes, new turbo N-75 sensor, new 109 sensor, new German color coded synthetic vacuum hoses, new

Pentosin Synthetic oil-Bosch filter, new gear oil, flushed cooling system-new coolant
reservoir and sending unit, new VW G12+ coolant, new glow plugs and new glow plug harness, new glow plug fuses, serviced injectors,

Calipers, new OEM drive axles, new tie-rods, new ball joints and new
wheel bearings, flushed brake hydraulics-new Pentosin DOT-4 fluid, new

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
