  • Strong motor with less than 10k miles on it, if I am to believe the Previous Owner.  I have pictures of the engine out of the car for rebuild before I purchased it.  Some of the features of the motor that I've upgraded or added over the last 2 years:
    • Replaced crappy SCAT engine tin w/original and correct German tin for a 1600DP motor
    • Complete factory tin in place - doghouse, hoover bit, flaps, heat riser covers, etc.

  • cleaned, re-packed and adjusted front wheel bearings, both sides
  • transmission fluid changed and switched to synthetic oil
  • shifts gears smoothly, does not pop-out of any gear
  • anti-theft shift-lock installed
The not-so-good:
  • Rust repair bottom of the front wheel-wells was done by the Previous Owner and not professionally, could stand a re-do by a pro. But there are no open holes and structural integrity is not compromised as far as I can tell.
  • same for the base of the B-pillars on the interior.
  • it is a 50 year-old car w/a 40+ year-old engine.  No warranty is provided or otherwise implied, it is sold AS-IS.
  • paint is good for a driver but is not show quality
Car is also for sale locally and I will end the auction if the right opportunity arises.

How the VW diesels perform in cheat mode

Fri, Oct 9 2015

Are you tired of the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal? Yeah? We are, too. But here's a story that, at the very least, gives us something resembling answers about one of the most important questions surrounding the firestorm – how will the affected cars perform when they're in their emissions-cheating test mode? Consumer Reports was able to find out, tapping into what it believes is the cheat mode. By turning the car to accessory mode, flipping on the hazards, and tapping the gas pedal five times, CR was able to defeat the auto-engaged traction and stability controls, which it believes activates cheat mode. The safeties will reengage if it detects the rear wheels spinning, so the next step was what CR called "a hack." The team unplugged the rear wheel sensors, so the car's computers couldn't tell whether the wheels were spinning. By the way, don't try this at home. With that done, CR hit the road, testing both a 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI and a 2015 Jetta TDI sedan in their normal and cheat modes. Why both cars? Well, the 2011 uses the EA188 diesel, which represents the bulk of the affected cars, while the newer Jetta uses the latest EA288, which just arrived for model year 2015. The results are, in a word, interesting. The EA188 engine lost 0.6 seconds on the way to 60 miles per hour while in emissions-compliant cheat mode, and fuel economy fell from 50 miles per gallon to 46. For the newer EA288, the 0-60 difference was negligible – just a tenth of a second – while the fuel economy dipped from 53 to 50 mpg. There are a few takeaways here. First of all, and as suspected, running in cheat mode did hurt both performance and fuel economy. But perhaps more importantly, even in emissions-compliant mode, both vehicles easily beat their EPA fuel economy estimates. According to FuelEconomy.gov, the highest rated 2011 TDI Sportwagen, the manual-trans model, was rated at 30 mpg city and 42 mpg highway, with a combined rating of 34 (the auto drops the city and combined ratings by one mpg, while the highway falls by three). The best a 2015 Jetta TDI sedan can do according to Uncle Sam, meanwhile, is 31 city, 46 highway, and 36 combined with the manual (again, the auto is worse, but only by a single highway mpg).

Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.
