This is a one of a kind camper van.  It started as a great one owner Winnebago camper van and was professionally converted to Tdi power by grease works in Corvallis, Oregon. It’s got a built up AHU/ALH/1Z hybrid engine with about 150HP . It’s built to deliver power without sacrificing the diesels longevity. The body had 258k miles at time of the conversion. Now has about 20kmiles on performance built engine, rebuilt and properly diesel geared 5speed tranny and all other moving parts (CV axles, steering gear, wheel bearings etc.). Late Passat aluminum 16"rims. Lifted 2.5”, bill stein shocks, nice Nokian van rated tires, mufflerectomy. It has new yakima racks and a pretty large cargo basket. Mounted to that is a 75watt siemens solar panel with smart charge controller and 1600watts AC converter for computer or other gear.  The system charges whenever there’s light and keeps both (aux and main) batteries topped off. Custom stereo system with 6" sub built into the console in between driver and passenger seat, 6 new pioneer speakers, dual amps, separate audio controller for quick fade, subwoofer or tone level adjustments. Custom made european real sheepskin covers on front seats. European bull bar with high intensity LED floods. A/C, CD, MP3 and iPod hookups. Scan gauge and EGT gauge installed near radio for full info. 30-35miles/gallon. Biodiesel ready. Here in CA you won’t need a smog for this as it’s pre ’98.  Since it doesn’t have a cat or muffler it sounds great with the turbo whistling. If you step on it it will smoke some, it’s a diesel :-)

The camper aspect of the van is pretty much as any other winnebago conversion. It has the fresh and grey water tank hooked up to the sink and little rinse shower out back. 2 Burner stove top, 3-way fridge and heater work off of the mounted propane tank. The heater runs on 12 Volt and is great to heat up the van on cold camping mornings. It comes with 2 foldable tables that stow away nicely behind drivers seat. There are 2 bench seats in back which can be taken out if needed. The pop top creates a Queen size bed spread with zipping screened windows, lower bench seat folds down to a full size bed. 

I’m the second owner. It came with an additional seatbelt attached to the back of the passenger seat, which the previous owner installed to secure a wheel chair for a family member. 

The overall condition of the van is great. Everything is fully functioning. Cosmetically it has a few slight blemishes on the outside body as you can see in the video and pics.

With a possible fee I’ll accommodate pick up at the SMF airport or any other travel/ pick up arrangements if you arrange it with me before. 

I’m offering it locally too so I might take down the ad here if it sells local.


Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
