Up for auction is a 1982 VW Diesel Pickup.  This is a project that I started three years ago.  Unfortunately I  was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2011 and the cancer is getting worse.  The doctors haven't given me much more time to live, so it's time for me to sell my baby. 

I am a certified VW technician that actually worked on the trucks at the VW dealership back when they were selling these trucks.

Listed below are the things that I have replace:

The truck's floor boards were rusted out, so I welded in new metal and fiber glassed over top the top of the complete floor boards. 

There were several other common rust spots that I repaired.  I used POR rust preventative paint in all of the areas that the rust was repaired.  You can Google POR to acquire more information.

New deflector headlights were installed along with HID kits.

The engine was replaced with a later model engine with less that 90,000 miles.  I have a friend that removed this engine from a later model Jetta many years ago.  It was in storage for many years until after two years of bugging him to sell it to me, he finally did sell it to me.

Replaced ALL external engine seals in the engine along with the timing belt and drive belts. 

Installed a remanufactured injection pump.

Clutch kit.

Installed a new stainless header along with a complete custom 2 1/2" exhaust system.

My next project was going to be installing a turbo kit.  The new turbo kit goes with the truck.  See pictures.

Installed an electric vacuum pump from a late model Audi.  Everyone that has an early model VW diesel knows that the factory mechanical pumps are awful.

All CV Boots.

ALL shifter bushings and linkage rods.

Front brake pads, caliper bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, transmission external seals, front strut inserts, strut bearing tops.

Rear shoes, wheel cylinders, parking brake cable, wheel bearings, shocks.

Replaced front windshield and seal, rear window seal, early style GTI steering wheel, custom fitted later model center console and late model seat belts.

New custom racing seats, new carpet, new leather shift knob, interior was dyed black, The dash has not been cut up and still uses the old knob style radio.  JVC A/M F/M Cassette radio.  New speakers.

Heater blower motor and resister.  Still has the factory  R-12 A/C system that works great.

Things that the truck still needs:

I left the original body trim holes, so I was still looking for the factory body trim that goes from the front fender to the rear finder.

Rust has started back on the right rear fender behind the wheel (see pictures).

Turbo kit needs to be installed.  Comes with a new boost gauge.  The electric brake booster pump is currently mounted on the firewall and is a little noisy.  It needs to be mounted somewhere else near the front (maybe on the transmission).

The trucks runs great and gets compliments from people every tme I drive it.  Anyone that is local is welcome to come test drive it.  Just contact me mhemrick@triad.rr.com 

The vehicle is also being sold locally and the seller has the right to end or cancel the auction at any time.

VW offers to buy back new diesels if bans introduced

Thu, Mar 29 2018

By Maria Sheahan FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen will buy back new diesel cars if German cities ban them, it said on Thursday, seeking to reassure potential buyers and stem a plunge in sales of diesel vehicles. Europe's biggest automaker also said it would extend incentives for buyers of new diesel cars. The moves come after a German court ruled last month that cities in the country could ban the most polluting diesel vehicles from their streets. Many German cities exceed European Union limits on atmospheric nitrogen oxide, known to cause respiratory diseases. Fears of bans have led to a plunge in demand for diesel vehicles, which are also key to carmakers' attempts to meet new EU rules on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While diesel cars are heavily criticized for emitting nitrogen oxide, they spew out less CO2 than gasoline equivalents. Diesel car sales plunged 19 percent in Germany last month. At its core VW brand, Volkswagen said its buyback offer applied to new diesels bought between April 1 and the end of 2018 and would kick in if the city in which the buyer lived or worked banned diesels within three years of the purchase. It said its dealerships would buy back diesel vehicles affected by bans at their current value if their owners at the same time bought a new vehicle that was not affected by cities' driving restrictions. At Czech brand Skoda, the guarantee applies to cars bought between April 1 and the end of June, but will cover bans introduced within four years of the purchase date. At premium brand Audi, the offer only covers leased vehicles. Volkswagen also said it was extending to the end of June incentives for customers trading in older diesels for new ones. Fellow German carmaker BMW said earlier this month it would offer to take back leased vehicles if diesels were banned within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the operator's home or place of work. There has been a global backlash against diesel-engine cars since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating U.S. exhaust tests. But Germany's government is seeking to avoid widespread bans on heavily polluting diesel vehicles, which companies say could cut the resale value of up to 15 million vehicles in Europe's biggest car market. In Germany, where motorists expect to drive powerful cars on motorways with no speed limits, any restrictions will be unpopular.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.

VW CEO under fire after emissions scandal, stock slide

Mon, Sep 21 2015

Pressure piled on the head of Volkswagen on Monday in the wake of an emissions-testing scandal that's seen around 15 billion euros ($16.9 billion) wiped off the company's market value. Following revelations that the German carmaker had rigged US emissions tests for about 500,000 diesel cars, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn apologized Sunday for the fact that his company had "broken the trust of our customers and the public." But saying sorry wasn't enough for investors as they digested the financial and reputational implications of the scandal on the world's biggest carmaker by sales – in mid-afternoon trading in Frankfurt, Volkswagen's share price was down a stunning 17.8 percent at a near three-year low of 132.15 euros. Earlier it had tumbled by more than 20 percent. In the wake of Friday's revelations from the US's Environmental Protection Agency, VW has already halted sales of some vehicles in the US and pledged to cooperate with regulators in an investigation that could, in theory, see the company fined up to $18 billion. Industry analysts said the VW CEO faces difficult questions in the coming days, particularly when the company's board is scheduled to meet Friday. "At the moment, I'd be surprised if Winterkorn can ride this out." - Christian Stadler "At the moment, I'd be surprised if Winterkorn can ride this out, but in Germany there's often a slightly slower process in these matters," said Christian Stadler, a professor of strategic management at Warwick Business School who researches the car industry. Stadler said that if VW were a US company, then the CEO would have gone more or less immediately. In essence, Volkswagen stands accused of skirting the US's clean air rules. The EPA said VW used a device programmed to detect when the cars are undergoing official emissions testing. The software device then turns off the emissions controls during normal driving situations, allowing the cars to emit more than the legal limit of pollutants. Guido Reinking, a German auto expert, said that for a company to engage in such blatant trickery the company's top executives would have to be informed. Winterkorn, an engineer by training, led research and development across the VW group from 2007. He became chairman of the management board the same year. "It's almost impossible to imagine that he didn't know about this special way of programming the engine," Reinking told German television station n-tv.
