Last Of The German Built Rabbit Golf Diesels. 5 Speed, 1.6l, on 2040-cars

Rabbit Diesel, L Model, top of the line. Mostly original. ALL Original parts included if you wish (engine, tranny, steering wheel, shift knob, 4 wheels and lots more) Last of the german built. Great condition, but, all is new. New Engine 1.6L instead of original 1.5L, rebuilt special 4S 5 speed tranny imported from Germany. This special tranny gives the car an overdrive that is not too high a gear, so the car can pull hard in 5th gear. New Upgrade to GTI Brakes and suspension all the way around. Body is rust free, but there has been maintenance. GTI brakes and sway bars. Great car and real fun to drive. Not slow, keeps up with traffic just fine and will cruise at 75 MPH and get 50 MPG. Normal MPG is 42-55, that I have seen, but only 5000 miles on the new driveline. This car is running great at Denvers 5800 feet altitude. It will be faster and more fuel efficient at sea level. Everything works, paint is original but well worn. Interior is gorgeous but dash is shot with great cover on it. Car is a classic and sitting covered in a garage for winter. This is not for your kid, but a car to be cared for as there are few left in this condition. What the car needs The paint is original, I was working towards full exterior repaint in Original color, but budget prevented it so far. Right front fender is crinkled. I did it and feel bad. I have had fender off, but needs to be replaced at re-paint. There are none of these original german diesels left. They were built only 77-79 before moving to US built. The modifications I have made have raised comfortable cruise speed from 65 to 75 MPH. Starts year round no problem. Block heater, side passenger mirror remote control, Deluxe leatherette seats, original material but re-stuffed with modern foam. No rust, except some from scratches that need upkeep. Spare paint to match. Original stripes still visible on outside, but someone damaged the paint trying to remove them. This car drives great, handles great. Loads of spares. Very few of these left. I have classic car insurance and it sits covered in the garage most of the year. I am a professional mechanic and build all sorts of cars. Karl I just had to rescue. Colorado car all its life. I believe I am the second owner, other that dealer that I bought it from. Includes Car cover, manuals and more. Original owners manual, warranty manual, and dealer sales literature. |

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen 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.
Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
