I PURCHASED THIS VAN FROM AN ESTATE SALE OF A VW COLLECTOR IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS IN A DRY PLACE AND THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST TO SPEAK OF IN THIS CAR. THE HISTORY REFLECTS THE OWNER ETC AND I LEFT CALI TAG ON THE CAR. 

UNDERCARRIAGE IS BONE STOCK AND ORIGINAL AND UNMOLESTED AND I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IT HAS NO RUST AT ALL THAT I CAN SEE OR FIND ANYWHERE THERE, THIS IS A AMAZING ORIGINAL BUS. IT HAD TINY LITTLE SURFACE RUST SPOTS AROUND THE VAN, I HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED WITH FIBERGLASS NOT BONDO, AND HAD THEM FAUX PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A RUST COLOR TO GIVE IT A LITTLE PATINA AND NOT HIDE THE LITTLE REPAIRS, THE DRIP RAIL HAD A FEW RUST SPOTS, AGAIN REPAIRED WITH FIBERGLASS, AND PRIMERED WHITE NOT TO HIDE ANYTHING. 

PAINT IS ORIGINAL TO THE BUS EVERYWHERE I CAN TELL. BUMPERS WERE DIRTY AND PERFECT I PRIMERED THEM WHITE TO PRESERVE THEM, NO RUST. 
BUS JUST HAD A 1200.00 SERVICE AT A CERTIFIED VW SHOP AND RECEIPT COMES WITH CAR. CARBS REDONE, NEW CHROME AIR CLEANERS, (ORIGINAL AIR BOX WILL COME WITH VAN INSIDE A BOX FOR PEOPLE WHO WANTS THE ORIGINAL LOOK) , SERVICE TO TRANNY, NEW VALVE COVER GASKET, NEW PLUGS, OIL CHANGED, TANK DROPPED AND DRAINED, NEW FUEL FILTER, ETC.

INSTALLED NEW AFTERMARKET CHROME SIDE MIRRORS AND ANTENNA WITH CHROME BASE. DONT BELIEVE RADIO IS WORKING BUT HAVE NOT TESTED. 
150.00 WORTH OF NEW VINTAGE SURF DECALS. BRAND NEW REPRO LUGGAGE RACK COST $500.00. NEW CUSTOM CURTAINS INSTALLED. BOTH FRONT SEATS WERE PROFESSIONALLY UPHOLSTERED AT VW SHOP TO LOOK ORIGINAL, COST $800.00.

THE VAN RUNS DRIVES AND SHIFTS GREAT, IT GOES JUST A VW SHOULD. I DONT KNOW IF ITS A 1.6 OR 1.8 MOTOR BUT IM LOOKING INTO IT. IF YOU WANT A BUS THAT IS NOT JUNK, THIS IS IT.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Caddy TGI BlueMotion, VR tour of Tesla Model X

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Take a 360-degree virtual tour of the Tesla Model X. Best viewed in the YouTube app on your smartphone, the video above - courtesy of Canadian Press Video News – allows you to look around the inside of the Model X as though you were sitting inside it. While you're viewing it, keep in mind Tesla CEO Elon Musk's words about virtual reality: "It's quite transformative. You really feel like you're there." See the video above, and read more at Teslarati. LG Chem's batteries for the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan will be the Korean company's first time engineering and manufacturing a complete battery pack in Michigan for a volume production North American plug-in hybrid. The packs include lithium-ion cells, electronics and control units. The batteries were engineered at LG Chem's Troy, Michigan facility, and will be built at the company's Holland, Michigan plant. "Our experience with entire battery packs, including cell design and manufacturing capability, as well as our expertise in vehicle integration, makes us the ideal battery supplier for the Pacifica Hybrid," says LGCPI CEO Denise Gray. "We believe our technical strengths, engineering and manufacturing expertise, position us as a leading battery and control system provider for electric vehicles today and in the future." Read more at Green Car Congress. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will debut its Caddy TGI BlueMotion van at the Geneva Motor Show. The van, which is suited to family, taxi or city delivery use, can run on CNG or bio-natural gas in addition to gasoline. It also features a six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission – a first in its class. The multiple high-pressure tanks for compressed gas are located under the floor, preserving all the Caddy's precious cargo space. A TGI version of the Caddy Alltrack will also be available, initially with a six-speed manual transmission, with the DSG option arriving in the middle of 2016.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
