Last Of The German Built Rabbit Golf Diesels. 5 Speed, 1.6l, on 2040-cars
Morrison, Colorado, United States
Rabbit Diesel, L Model, top of the line. Mostly original. ALL Original parts included if you wish (engine, tranny, steering wheel, shift knob, 4 wheels and lots more) Last of the german built. Great condition, but, all is new. New Engine 1.6L instead of original 1.5L, rebuilt special 4S 5 speed tranny imported from Germany. This special tranny gives the car an overdrive that is not too high a gear, so the car can pull hard in 5th gear. New Upgrade to GTI Brakes and suspension all the way around. Body is rust free, but there has been maintenance. GTI brakes and sway bars. Great car and real fun to drive. Not slow, keeps up with traffic just fine and will cruise at 75 MPH and get 50 MPG. Normal MPG is 42-55, that I have seen, but only 5000 miles on the new driveline. This car is running great at Denvers 5800 feet altitude. It will be faster and more fuel efficient at sea level. Everything works, paint is original but well worn. Interior is gorgeous but dash is shot with great cover on it. Car is a classic and sitting covered in a garage for winter. This is not for your kid, but a car to be cared for as there are few left in this condition. What the car needs The paint is original, I was working towards full exterior repaint in Original color, but budget prevented it so far. Right front fender is crinkled. I did it and feel bad. I have had fender off, but needs to be replaced at re-paint. There are none of these original german diesels left. They were built only 77-79 before moving to US built. The modifications I have made have raised comfortable cruise speed from 65 to 75 MPH. Starts year round no problem. Block heater, side passenger mirror remote control, Deluxe leatherette seats, original material but re-stuffed with modern foam. No rust, except some from scratches that need upkeep. Spare paint to match. Original stripes still visible on outside, but someone damaged the paint trying to remove them. This car drives great, handles great. Loads of spares. Very few of these left. I have classic car insurance and it sits covered in the garage most of the year. I am a professional mechanic and build all sorts of cars. Karl I just had to rescue. Colorado car all its life. I believe I am the second owner, other that dealer that I bought it from. Includes Car cover, manuals and more. Original owners manual, warranty manual, and dealer sales literature. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3
Fri, Sep 12 2014Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling. Read and see more at Car News China. Taxi customers in New York will enjoy greater payment flexibility with the new interoperability between RideLinQ and Way2ride apps. Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.
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.
