This vehicle was rare to start with and now it's nearly 20 years old. If you're looking for a car with some style and power that's not expensive, this is a pretty good option. This car was made to cruise and it's a smooth ride going down the highway at a good clip. Enough of the sales pitch though, this car is almost two decades old and it's German. I've had this car for about 9 months and it was a great interim car for commutes while I was trying to save some cash. Did I end up saving any cash? Not really. I've spent a bunch of money repairing things on it that weren't right when I got it and things that broke along the way. Things will continue to break, that's just the way things go on a car this old. But right now, it's running well and nothing is outright broken on it. No accidents and clean title. Let's start with physical condition. This is a fair example of a UrS6. The exterior paint condition is poor from neglect, heat and sun. The worst part of it is the hood which has oxidized and discolored from the heat of the engine bay. The rest of body paint is in okay shape. No major chips or peels, but plenty of dents, dings and scratches. The good news is it's a California car and there's no rust. The interior is in similarly okay shape. The driver seat bolster leather has torn but layers of beige duct-tape serve a bandaid pretty well. Similarly with the rear seat on one side. The carpet is in good shape but has some stains. The dash and steering wheel are in good shape. The stereo works well. I added an auxiliary input directly into it by rigging up a switch for the CD audio so you can be modern and hook up your phone to it. Mechanically, it runs pretty strong. Turbo still pulls well. Transmission is in good shape, no grinds or difficulty getting into gear. There is a very short rough idle (about 20-30 seconds) when it's been sitting for more than a few days. There's plenty of meat left on the brake pads. This car is a hoot to drive, which is what attracted me to it despite the high mileage. How high? Presently 276,5xx miles. That's a lot but if these cars are well cared for it's not uncommon to get these well into the 300s. I have a spreadsheet with service history going back over 150,000 miles. The car was previously maintained by 2Bennett Audimotive in Davis, CA. There's tons of receipts from there to go along with the vehicle. I spent a while trying to figure out what was causing noise in the front passenger suspension. After replacing virtually everything, I found out it was 2Bennett's camber plates. So I removed them and put in regular strut tower mounts which stopped the noise. The prior owner added HID headlights, put on 2Bennett lowering springs, the 18" A8 wheels, put on a bunch of 034 silicone hoses and replaced some of the mounts. The engine had a complete head rebuild by the owner before that at 2Bennett at 194k miles. A common part to fail on these are the camshaft position sensors, that was replaced at 235k miles. Timing belt was done at 224k miles. There is nothing that presently needs done to this car based on milage unless you wanted to prematurely replace the clutch which was done around 85k miles ago, but it doesn't slip at all and I've heard stories of these clutches going over 100k miles without incident. Here's the list of work that has been done since I've owned it within the last 7k miles: New Koni Sport adjustable front struts New strut tower mounts New starter New ignition switch New rear trailing arm bushings New front passenger axle shaft New front passenger control arm New front wheel bearings New front strut bump stops New front strut bellows New O2 sensor New Bosch fuel injector (#4) New fuel injector seals and filters New battery 034 Motorsport short shifter 034 Motorsport High-Output coils, harness and wires New spark plugs New heater core New climate control blower fan New fuel pump New trunk struts New windshield washer pump New HID ballasts New valve cover gasket New auxiliary (after-run) water pump Transmission, differential and brake flush All told, it's a couple thousand dollars just in parts. The car has run pretty reliably for the last few thousand miles with the exception of a plastic coolant hose coupler breaking. That was a simple fix but it's an example of how this old car might have its moments. There's also some spare parts that go along with this vehicle. There's rear driver side tail-light that's in great shape to replace the one on it that has a small crack in it. There's a matching leather rear-seat back. The current one is in good shape but the prior owner got it with the thought it could be used to reupholster the torn leather. Anything I have, I'll throw in. |

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
VW Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division
Tue, Sep 11 2018An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.
