2005 Vw Passat Turbo Diesel Many Extras on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
|
HI! Up for sale I have a 2005 TURBO DIESEL VW Passat. I have owned this car for 3 years. I am the third owner. Since I have owned the car I have fixed everything that has or could go wrong. Mechanically: this car runs and drives VERY smooth. The transmission was replaced and installed NEW in 2012. $4000 (receipt to prove) all work done by VW. Next, I replaced the notorious (for this year) Camshaft. Since I had the head off this car I replaced all valves, guides, and followers essentially a BRAND NEW head (1800$). I then replaced all belts, tensioners, and gaskets (intake/exhaust/valve cover) with brand new OEM equipment (all ordered from BORAparts.com). Brand new GATES timing belt, timing tensioner, serpentine belt, serpentine tensioner. Last I replaced the tires, brakes, and the starter ( the old starter was ok but slowly going out, the new one has a LT warranty from Oreilleys) The only other issue that I had was the flap motor (another notorious failure of this car) I replaced this with the new upgraded flap motor from BORAparts.com ($490). All of this work has been done within the last 5000 miles in my shop by Everett and Brett Palmer (please feel free to read up on either of them in TDI forums user name is diesales one of the best TDI Techs around). The last of the notorious BHW failures is the much controversial Balance Shaft issue. Brett Palmer pulled off the cover to the oil pump and verified the Balance Shaft is in PERFECT mechanical condition. Some cars have it but many do not. Many of these Passats that have over 300 even 400,000 miles with the original Balance shaft. I believe there was a bad "batch" of Passats that had this unfortunate Balance shaft issue. Rest assured, mine has been inspected by a TRUSTED Mechanic and has been cleared as mechanically perfect. Fresh oil, coolant as well as air filter oil filter fuel filter and cabin filter were all done within the last 5000 miles. The car had an alignment done within the last 10,000 miles and drives beautifully down the road. This car is ready for another 100,000 miles!!!! Interior: The interior of this car is a 8.5/10. The leather seats are still in great condition with no rips. The heated elements work great on both driver and passenger side. The carpet is VERY nice considering the mileage. The original carpet mats are still in VERY good condition as well. Monsoon stereo cd/tape player. Steering wheel controls for the stereo are an extra benefit to this car. Automatic windows and locks, as well as automatic sunroof. Exterior: The paint on this car is absolutely beautiful. The previous owners took extremely well car of this vehicle. I have a two inch stack of maintenance paperwork that included EVERY 10,000 maintenance from 10,000 all the way to 190,000 and any replacement in between. The tires have 90% tread life left on 80,000 mile rated all season tires. These tires include transferable warranty thought discount tire. Equipped with ESP, in conjunction with the tires, there is nothing this car cant plow through rain or snow this winter season. The only flaw to the exterior is a 12 inch by 1 inch dent in the rear passenger door. This car needs NOTHING. Hop in and drive anywhere. Highway mileage is 42mpg, city is around 35mpg. This is a very luxurious Turbo Diesel car, in excellent condition. Car is currently located in Ida, MI (just north of Toledo, OH) Feel free to email or call with any questions. 419-345-1732 |

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
