It is with a heavy heart that I post this car up for sale. I love this car, but financially this is the best option for me. The car has been well kept by Pasadena Volkswagen. It has had all services done in a timely manner and recently had its brakes done and major 80k service. Only synthetic oil has been used at all services. Mechanically, this car is completely flawless! Car Facts: *Car includes all original tools, jack, and spare tire under hatch floor. *New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with less than 10k miles on them (over $1,000 on tires alone!) These tires are awesome! Simply the best tires for this car. Period. *Car has both original keys plus the original valet key. *It has all of its maintenance records. *Just got a new battery. *Car has both the rubber monster floor mats (currently installed) and the regular carpet floor mats (with custom aluminum foot plate) not installed but included. Car History: *Third owner of car. Purchased the car with only 12k miles on it back in 2008. The second owner only used it on the weekends and kept it in his garage most of the time. He purchased it from the original owner, who was a VW dealer employee. * It has been involved in two "accidents," both of which were minor fender-benders. Both times the car was hit from the back; the first time, the back bumper was replaced with an OEM bumper and painted the original black color. The second time, both the back bumper and rear hatch were replaced with OEM parts and painted to match the rest of the car. Both times the repairs were done at a local repair shop (M1 Autobody in El Monte) which did a fantastic job. You couldn't tell just by looking at the car. Externally, the car is in very good shape. Small dings and scratches can be located around the exterior of the car, but nothing major. Perhaps the worst defect is a small dent on the front of the hood. Someone must have backed up into the car while parked at a parking lot, leaving a small dent on the front of the hood, but again, nothing major. It also has some scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper due to dips and steep driveways, but nothing drastic. And this is on stock suspension! I can't imagine how it would be if it were lowered. Internally, the car is basically in mint condition. The full leather front seats have very minor wear (no rips or tears), and the back seats are perfect. The only things that keep the car from having a perfect interior is that the handle for the glove box is broken and will have to be replaced, and one of the buttons for the Passat dome light kit is broken. Again, its nothing major, but its still being listed for full disclosure. For a complete car history, feel free to run a Carfax report. The car's vin is: WVWKG61J04D099755 I can also take pictures of whatever you would like to see more up close, so please don't hesitate to message me for more detailed pictures. Extras: Due to the car's limited availability, it has been keep almost fully stock, with only a few modifications done to it. The overall theme to the car's mods has been of the OEM+ style, keeping it as original looking as possible. Some aftermarket parts included are: -OEM HID replica Euro R32 headlights (Helix) which retain the built-in fog lights feature (original headlights also included) -OEM Euro R32 RSSR taillights (Hella) (original taillights also included) -White LED city lights -Clear side indicators -Passat dome light kit (in black) -White LED license plate lights -Tint on all windows (75% on front three, 20% on back three) -Euro Polo rear wiper (original also included) -OEM stubby antenna (original also included) -R32 center caps (original VW center caps also included) -EIP cold air intake (w/ K&N air filter) (original air box also included) -VF Engineering engine mounts -H&R Rear sway bar (original sway bar also included) -OEM 6 CD changer in rear -Infinity Subwoofer (500W) with individual control under radio The car is super clean, has always been a non-smoker, adult-driven, and been very well taken care of. It runs, shifts, and drives beautifully, and has plenty of torque. Long story short, this car is tons of fun and will always leave you with a smile on your face. You won't believe how much positive attention you'll get in one of these! It is not uncommon to be asked questions when you're at the gas station filling up, parking at the store, or just driving down the street. You'll constantly be turning heads. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a rare and wonderful car! You will fall in love with it, guaranteed! Thanks for looking. |

2015 Volkswagen Touran is the Euro MPV exemplified [w/video]
Wed, Mar 4 2015Among the vehicles Volkswagen doesn't sell in the United States, we retain a soft spot for the tiny Touran MPV. Five doors, a reasonably sized trunk, clean sheet metal and an attractive cabin is an appealing combo, after all, regardless of the form factor. For the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, VW updated the popular compact van for European audiences. Like the Golf-inspired styling of the second-generation model, the popular hatchback's looks are clearly evident in the third-generation Touran. The Golf's small upper character line is more dramatic on the van, although the general taillight and headlight shapes are remarkably similar. The grille, meanwhile, is more Passat than anything else, with a conservative three-bar design. The R-Line model gets more dramatic front and rear bumpers, with black accents on the former and a pair of chromed exhaust tips jutting out underneath the latter. The cabin is typical of Volkswagen, with handsome materials throughout. Piano black is the dominant accent material, found on the dash and steering wheel, while the leather-wrapped steering wheel and hide seats both look like nice enough. Check out our full gallery of images of the new, third-generation Touran from the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Volkswagen presents the new Touran - Germany's best-selling MPV completely redeveloped - More room; smart new design - New engines up to 19 per cent more economical Volkswagen presents the new Touran. The completely redesigned MPV was showcased before an audience of international media representatives at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg, not far from the production site where the popular family car is made. The interior of the new model has undergone a significant increase in size and is highly configurable. Refinements have been made all around the vehicle, which boasts a range of six new economical engines and an extensive line-up of assistance and infotainment systems. The public premiere of the new Touran will take place in the coming week at the Geneva motor show. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, explained: "As one of the most successful family cars in the world with 1.9 million units sold, the Touran is indisputably Germany's top MPV.
The tumultuous history of the diesel engine
Tue, Oct 6 2015Volkswagen, diesel's most enthusiastic patron, deceived everyone about the amount of emissions its cars were putting out. We have covered this latest massive automotive scandal in great detail, and there are surely more fascinating revelations to come. It turns out that this is just the latest episode in the epic story of the controversy and intrigue surrounding the diesel engine, and its inventor. This is the story of the tumultuous birth and interesting evolution of the compression-ignition engine at the center of the VW scandal. Napoleon III Got Rudolf Diesel Deported Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris in 1858. His Bavarian parents had settled in France where his father, Theodor, was a leather goods manufacturer. When the French Parliament declared war on Prussia, kicking off the Franco-Prussian war, the Diesels fled to London. When he was 12, Rudolf went to live with his aunt and uncle in the Bavarian university town of Augsburg. It was his parents' hometown, and importantly, it's where Rudolf began studying at the Royal County Trade School. His time in Augsburg, graduating at the top of his class from trade school that laid the groundwork for all that was to come. Diesel Nearly Blew Himself Up An early career in refrigeration saw Diesel running R&D in Berlin for Linde, a company started by refrigeration pioneer Carl Von Linde, one of Diesel's professors. His ambition to branch out beyond refrigeration, and his deep understanding of thermodynamics, led to efficiency experiments with steam engines. Diesel was trying to create an engine that didn't waste heat from the combustion process, therefore getting the most work out of the fuel. Instead, he was nearly killed when an experimental ammonia vapor steam engine exploded. Recovery took many months, and during some of that time, he was no doubt planning his next experimental engine, based on the theoretical Carnot cycle. His Engine Was An Attempt To Stick It To The Man Steam engines were expensive to run and wasteful. Diesel thought the efficiency of his design would be a way for the small business to compete with the dominant industrial giants. It was, and it did, but big business is equally passionate about chasing efficiency. Diesel engines quickly proliferated in industries both grand and cottage. Rudolf Didn't Really Invent The Diesel As We Know It Instead, he improved an existing one to a significant degree. The Diesel engine could be considered an evolution of the "hot-bulb" engine.
