This van has been my baby for years, and now it is with a heavy heart that I must find her a great new home! Volkswagen only made the diesel version of this very popular camper for one year, so they are quite rare! The original stock engine was only 1.6 liters, and was woefully underpowered to run the vehicle. I have had a brand new 1.9 liter engine installed, and it has less than 2000 miles on it!!! It goes somewhat without saying that the attraction of the diesel engine is its ability to run on biodiesel, and the ease with which it could be converted to run on straight grease. The upgrade in power has really helped with speed on the highway and up steep grades. The engine has never smoked, it has no leaks, runs at just the right temp, and starts easily in the cold. Nearly all of the important mechanical components of the van have been replaced and upgraded. I have a pile of receipts from both myself and the previous owner, and the van has been recently serviced by the fine folks at Asheville Vee Dub here in North Carolina. They work exclusively on the repair and restoration of old Volkswagens, and really know their stuff. In all, it runs beautifully. In terms of the camping equipment, the stove and the sink work great, while the fridge has never functioned. All of the electrical stuff in the van has been fixed-sockets, lights, etc. There is an auxiliary battery installed under the front seat which allows you to run the electrical equipment while parked without draining the battery in the engine. This makes camping extremely comfortable and easy!! The pop-top is in decent shape-it is original, and has a few repaired tears. The mattresses are also original-they have some wear and tear but they’re completely comfortable and functional. The van is missing the front table that sits behind the driver’s seat, but the table that swings over the backseat is in great condition. The two front seats have a lot of wear in the upholstery, so I’ve covered the chairs with soft covers and I’ve always found it comfortable that way. If you’re interested in getting it back into mint condition, it would need a paint job, though the great news is that there is really no rust to speak of on the whole body of the vehicle. Rust is generally the kiss of death in these cars, so to have one with no rust is quite valuable. I have had some of the best times of my life in this van, with my boyfriend and his young son, on road trips, at festivals, camping, and just generally traveling together. It is very special to me, and I’ve made sure over the years that it’s gotten all of the attention it deserved. It is truly a rare find, and I hope that whomever drives away with it will feel the same way! So, without further ado, here’s the total rundown: -Brand new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine, less than 2000 miles!! -Brand new clutch, installed at the same time as the engine -4 Brand new tires, also less than 2000 miles -Radiator less than 3 years old -Alternator 1 year old -Brand new Starter -Stove and Sink run perfectly -Original stock radio with two old and two new speakers -GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit installed -Fully functional electrical equipment -Fully functional sink and stove -Pop-top in great working shape **I am willing to consider delivery on a case by case basis, with travel cost reimbursement!!** |

VW delivers first XL1 in Germany
Mon, Jun 9 2014Volkswagen has delivered the first XL1 diesel plug-in hybrid to a customer from Berlin, Germany. Dr. Christian Malorny received his Oryx White XL1 with black and grey interior from Volkswagen Germany's director of sales and marketing for passenger cars, Thomas Zahn, at the company's Transparent Factory in Dresden. The super-efficient XL1, which first debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, is powered by a 0.8-liter, two-cylinder TDI engine and electric motor, with electricity supplied by a 5.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission. With a curb weight of 1,753 pounds and a drag coefficient of just 0.189, the XL1 is rated at 261 miles per gallon on the lenient European cycle. It is capable of traveling solely on electric power for up to 31 miles. "The XL1 has inspired me from the beginning and I am very pleased to now be driving my own," said Malorny, (translated). "With its visionary design and high-tech appearance, Volkswagen has dared something new and innovative." The futuristic XL1 seats two passengers, and can carry 4.2 cubic feet of cargo. It features a carbon fiber reinforced plastic body, and a low center of gravity. It is diminutive of stature, as you can see in the photo, measuring 153.1 inches long, 65.6 inches wide, and just 45.4 inches tall. It is being billed as the world's most efficient production car, but it's unlikely Dr. Malorny will be making his money back on fuel savings any time soon; despite the first sale and the vehicles appearing on the German VW site, Volkswagen has not officially announced the price tag for the XL1. In the past, we've heard it will cost approximately $145,000. Only 250 are being produced.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R
Wed, Dec 10 2014Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
