2004 Passat Wagon 4motion 1.8 Turbo Manual Trans Moonroof Monsoon Heated Seats on 2040-cars
Vashon, Washington, United States
Very rare VW-- 4-Motion AWD (basically Audi's Quattro) with turbocharged 1.8 4-cylinder coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission. Very responsive (unlike the 1.8 with automatic); it really can move out. Gas mileage is very good, and you won't have to worry about your ZF 5-speed auto going out to the tune of $5-8,000.
The Passat underpinnings are a mix of Audi A6 and A4 and the car has a real quality feel. Absolutely no squeaks, rattles or leaks, ultra smooth ride with precision handling. Far more solid than my previous Subaru Outback (the one that blew it's head gaskets and $2500 of my cash.) Just a delightful car, full of character, but polished. I'm the second owner and bought it about 6 months ago. I intended to keep it for awhile, so I did the following: new timing belt, coolant, thermostat, hoses ,serpentine belt, motor mounts. None were a problem--just preventative maintenance. The headlight adjusters were broken so I replaced the headlight assemblies. New Continental tires, 215/60-15. Highly rated (Tire Rack) for snow. Extremely smooth and quiet. New front brakes and rotors. And new Hitachi ignition coils, as the standard units in previous years were problematic. Clutch, AC, gearbox, power equipment, all are great. Shocks like new, no balljoint or tir-rod problems, and absolutely no rust. Nada. It really does drive like a new machine. So, you say, why you selling it? My 67 year old knee went out. Bad: I just broke the left tail-light, not in pictures. Small dent in left front fender lip, dent in lower left bottom edge of rear hatch. I think that happened when the hatch was up. Slight wrinkle in paint just below that on horizontal part of bumper--VW has an aftermarket piece that would cover that. I'll replace the lens if I get a decent deal, otherwise it's $200 for a new one. Alloy wheels look OK but not great. They're painted, so repair (if you care) is straight-forward. The side carpet in back has a few marks. Full sized spare by the way, and unused. That's my pitch. Always glad to talk or send more pix. Car is located on Vashon Island, WA. About 6 miles from Sea-Tac Airport. |

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.

Audi to keep hiring workers despite VW diesel scandal
Tue, Oct 27 2015Even while Volkswagen contemplates delaying or canceling projects to pay for costs related to the massive diesel emissions scandal, its stablemate Audi is hiring, according to Reuters. Audi certainly isn't immune to the diesel scandal, with around 2.1 million affected vehicles worldwide including 13,000-14,000 in the US, but the scandal so far isn't affecting staffing levels. "We are sticking with plans for strategic growth and are continuing to hire new employees as planned," Audi board member for human resources Thomas Sigi said in a German newspaper, according to Reuters. Sigi even suggested paying a "respectable" bonus to workers next year. Audi has some big projects on the horizon, too. Among them, the company intends to launch a production version of the E-Tron Quattro Concept in 2018, and for performance fans a new TT RS appears to be on the way. The new A4 should be a big contributor to global volume when its worldwide rollout is complete. Rather than allowing the diesel scandal to hurt all of its divisions, the VW Group instead wants to concentrate the fallout (and costs) on the VW brand, according to Reuters. Those expenses could be huge. Volkswagen is budgeting around $7.3 billion just to repair the 11 million emissions-cheating vehicles. Worldwide, maximum estimates put the whole mess at $87 billion.
