Silver Gls 2.0l Tdi on 2040-cars
Braham, Minnesota, United States
2004 Volkswagen Passat TDI GLS Sedan. Parts car or repairable. Clean title. Car History,This car was my daily driver at 350 -450 miles per week, with an average of 36-38 mpg.Best is 41mpg. Car has ran good for many years and has normal wear and tear on it. There is only one spot of rust, on the trunk lid above the plate. The reason for selling it is the transmission let go a couple of weeks ago. The torque converter unlocked halfway home the one night and thus took out the front seal. The transmission worked well all the way up to the converter not locking up. This was an issue with this style transmission. I have searched for a new or rebuilt one but to expensive for myself right now. The transmission is a ZF 5HP-19 (GMR) code. This code is only for the 2.0l diesel models. They only had this engine and transmission for 2 years. Maintenance ; Car was bought new and has had routine dealer maintenance up to 125,000 miles. First timing belt was replaced around 90,000 miles. Car was serviced every 5,000 miles along with fuel filter changes every 15,000 miles. At 160,000 front control arm kit was put in, along with new cv axles. At 170,000 changed to amsoil 5w40 European oil. Also new fuel pump, witch was dealer installed. New timing belt kit at 211,000 miles. Kit had new accessory belts ,thermostat, new coolant, water pump, tensioner, gates belt, and bolts. I currently have the transmission out and the car is on jack stands. It can be a rolling chassis in about an hour. It can not be driven, must be hauled away. At the time of delivery title will be transferred. Happy bidding Thanks for looking.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
An inside look at VW's new California R&D center
Thu, 18 Oct 2012Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.
