I had this VW diesel pick up built for me in Washington where these trucks and parts are very well known and desirable. It took many months to build and was finished in October 2012. I had a rust-free (minor surface rust) original 1.6 diesel for a starter truck. Had it disassembled and painted. I got a 1.9 turbo diesel motor and had it rebuilt. This included a new timing belt, water pump and pulley tensioners. The motor with delivery was $2700. I then spent another $1600 on the rebuild . The injection pump was not to my liking, so I bought a NEW one (not rebuilt). I had the transmission pulled. It looked good so just had it resealed with a new clutch. Brakes were all rebuilt along with the axle bearings. New struts and shocks. New exhaust from the down tube to rear. I had the steering rack rebuilt and the truck goes down the road nice and straight with no shakes rattles or squeaks. I then had the interior pulled out and had a later model VW gulf interior put in. To include door dash-board, door panels and the leather seats. Had a carpet kit put in along with a new headliner. I also had new door and window rubber installed. Steering wheel from a Scirocco.This is an LX model. It also has the slider rear window. The rear bed- cap comes with it and is in very good condition. The sliding windows work well along with the air-piston operated rear door. The truck over all is in very very good condition. It does not leak, drip or burn any oil. It starts up easily with fast-warming glow plugs. drives and brakes very well. Brakes 80/90 %, Tires about 70 % ?. I also did a clean install with remote power door locks.
The few things the vehicle needs if I were keeping it: 1) Temperature gauge stopped working ? 2) Turbo boost gauge is pegged (bad ground) 3) Small ding on passenger door (barley noticeable- see picture) paint-less dent repair will take care of it. 4) There is some minor wear on the drivers-seat outside bolster. Very minor (see pictures) (remember this is an old model interior). 5) small dent on front skirt under the front on the passenger side. This did not bother me enough the fix it (see pictures of front of car) I put about 8k miles on this car since the build. I have 3 cars and need to sell one of my toys. I have more then 13K into this one. gfriedman63@gmail.com email me your phone number for any questions |

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
Recharge Wrap-up: First VW e-Golf in US up for auction, meet Project Ain't Fuelin'
Tue, Oct 14 2014Volkswagen is auctioning the first e-Golf in the US to raise money for Global Green USA. The auction is live now, and bidding goes until 3:30 pm Eastern on October 29. Global Green USA will use the proceeds to help find solutions to climate change, and the winner will get to enjoy emissions-free driving before the car e-Golf goes on sale in November. If you don't live in or near California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington DC, you might want to sit this one out, as the car will only be available to pick up at dealers in those initial launch states. Go bid now, or learn more in the press release below. Berlin, Germany will use Solaris electric buses for a complete bus line in 2015. The downtown line will run 3.8 miles between Zoologischer Garten Station and Sudkreuz. The transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will use four of the Solaris e-buses for the test, each about 39 feet long. The buses use a 200-kilowatt inductive charging system at the ends of the line to recharge in just a few minutes. The government-funded test runs through 2016, but BVG pans to use the electric buses beyond that timeline. Read more at Green Car Congress. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is worried that the Obama administration will use ethanol requirements to influence a Senate race in Iowa. In the midst of a close race against Republican Joni Ernst, Representative Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate, is urging Obama to reject a cut in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The November election approaches, meanwhile the EPA continues to delay issuing an ethanol requirement for the year, with or without its proposed 16-percent reduction. Rejecting the cut could help get farmers and ethanol producers on the side of Braley. "We are very concerned that the signals we are seeing from the administration is that the political calculations are outweighing sound fuels policy," says API's Bob Greco. Read more at Businessweek. Project Ain't Fuelin' aims to fix up old cars to return them to original fuel economy, and then surpass it. Episode 3 of Valvoline's Under The Hood video series features Daniel Gray of MPGomatic, who is doing just that to a 1999 Honda Civic HX Coupe. He aims to get 50 mpg out of the old Civic by tuning it up, tinkering with the aerodynamics, switching to more efficient tires and other modifications.
