I have owned this car since 2005 and used it daily to drive to work from that time until last year. Last year I decided to rebuild the engine since it was getting a little hard to start and using more oil. I got another car during my rebuild and just never went back to driving the rabbit like I was. I drove it about 500 miles since the rebuild then parked it in the garage where it has sat since last April until driven today 3/9 and works perfectly. Odometer shows 225k. It stopped recording every mile a few years ago. The speedo works and odometer records sometimes and then doesn't sometimes. Mileage doesn't matter as nearly every rotating part on the car has been replaced.

New parts include... rod bearings, main bearings, piston rings, timing belt, injector pump seal kit, camshaft seals, oil pan gasket, head gasket and bolts, all new hoses, heater core, starter, thermostat, water pump, glow plugs, shifter bushings, windshield, front rotors, calipers and pads, rear brakes, front wheel bearings, CV axles and transmission seals, full exhaust front to rear, Brand new tires all the way around with the VW GT aluminum rims. Has 100psi cold oil pressure, runs about 60psi warmed up at highway speed. I set the injector pump timing toward maximum safe advance. It's getting 51 mpg highway which is about two or three more than before the rebuild. It also starts excellently even in cold weather. Drives super smooth. Has a nice radio and speakers.

I have the passenger side and back seats. I was running without them as why carry the weight if I was the only one ever in there.

Car has a four speed manual trans that works great. With the deal I have a five speed trans I will throw in if you want it. Wouldn't make any difference for highway driving, high is the same ratio but some people want a five speed.

Car has some rust coming. Original paint, See the pictures. Most of it is surface that could be sanded off. The car needs paint. I would suggest sanding and a rustoleum paint job, would be very cheap and preserve the car. The floors and underneath are solid.

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:
