THE USUAL "PROBLEMS" WITH AN OLD BUS
spots oil, not a ton, but does drip when parked. this may be fixed with a new oil pan bolt and seal. (easy fix)
if you are a novice vw driver the shifting won't be a problem, if you are new at it, shifting can get a little stubborn , just takes some time to get used to
the patterns.
1 tire has a slow leak, i just fill it up every so often... i don't drive it enough to go buy a new tire. (easy fix, and cheap)
found a rust through area under passengers feet area. previous owners filled it with bondo. i grinded it out. a clean cut with a piece of sheet metal will fix the problem,. hole is about 5"x3" .
has minor surface rust, as any 40 yr old car will have. but no rust throughs on the exterior. no panels will need to be replaced.
sloping door is from another bus. the previous owner did not attach a proper sliding hanger i think. it might be missing something. its a little lose when you open it. and needs to be pushed up inter place when it closed. this is common when doors are changed! i was told by my mechanic it can be fixed. but it was fine for me. still opens and closes.
i lost the keys at one point, had to get ignition key re made. therefore i did not replace the door keys. to obtain door keys the door handle wil need to be taken to a locksmith to re key. the ignition cost me $20 for a new key, doors will be cheap as well!!
no keys for hatch and engine lid. you can replace locking mechanism , very cheap . busdepot.com , easy fix
a few dents that i had filled with bondo, nothing major.
bus originally came with a pancake engine. a 1600 dual port was installed, conversion tin was never installed. therefore there is a gap in the engine compartment, my mechanic said this is not necessary , more air flow gets to engine which is good considering it is air-cooled, conversion tin is a personal preference item, and i chose not to purchase . does not affect condition, only cosmetic addition
OVERALL
it is a good bus. in good condition for its age. turn key and ready to drive every day!!! unfortunately i do not drive it enough with my schedule and don't have the time to give it that little sparkle that it deserves.
drive as is , or put a little time and effort to get it looking clean!!

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
