I have for sale my 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi.  It has an aba block swap with a 1.8v head and it has a turbo, boosting 6psi.  I bought the car already with the swap and the turbo installed so I don't how much about the swap, mileage of the motor or any detail pertaining to the swap.  What I do know is that this car will bring a smile to your face when you step on it and the turbo kicks in.  Its a fun car to drive to say the least.

Mechanically speaking the car runs good.  Its starts right up every time with no issue.  The fuel tank needs to be replaced or the hose that's inside the tank needs to be replace as it dies every time I make a right turn when the tank is less than half, if your familiar with this cars you'll know that its common thing on vw's  those years.  I just keep the tank full. Also the car sometimes cuts of at 4500 rpms. Its probably the timing so I'll be timing it with a timing light in the next few days.  Other than that the car runs well.

Body is in the decent shape for the year.  Its the original paint and its mainly straight with just a couple dents and very little surface rust, see pics.  Overall in good shape for the year, will not need much body work.

Interior is also good,  it has the full Recaro front and back seats off a '92 GLi and they are in good shape without any tears.  They could use a good cleaning but that's it.  Door panels are good with no tears, a few cracks on the top cover. Roof panel is great, not sagging and the dome light turns on when you open either door as well as the trunk light.  Dash was replace so its not the original and the bezels that go around the radio and heater/ac controls is missing.  No radio or a/c. Front windshield has a crack on passenger side, rest of the glass is good. Speedometer does not work and rpms work sometimes.  Original steering wheel include in sale.

Suspension it has Neuspeed lowering springs and stock struts in front and kyb shocks in back, however one of the rear shocks is leaking and would need to be replaced.

Please keep in mind that this is almost 30 year old car and its not perfect.  I would consider this a project but a running one and it can also be a daily driver.  It is definitely a car worth restoring.  Those were my plans but things have change in my life and so have the plans for this baby.  My daily is an Audi TT and I enjoy driving this GTi as much as I do my TT, some people don't get it but it't true.  Car is currently registered with current tags until the end of this month.  I would love to keep it but at this time its not possible.

I have described the car to the best of my knowledge and I might have forgotten somethings.  I'll keep updating this post.  The car is being sold as is where is with no guarantee or warranty express or implied. If you are interested and have questions feel free to call or text me at 915-503-8427, you can also contact me through ebay.

Buyer is responsible for arraigning transportation at their expense.  Car is located in Heber City, UT.  If you are in the area and want to come and check it or want to send someone to inspect it feel free to contact me to set a time.

VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas

Sun, Sep 25 2022

Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement.  RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
