I am the second owner, very well kept VW Vanagon GL with clean straight body, no rust, good clean interior, and seats/headliner/carpet are in good condition. This Vanagon has the much more reliable and better touring water boxer engine, a 1.9L professionally rebuilt with all the better 2.1L upgrades. New engine has about 200 miles on it, runs and drives excellent, purrs down the road, fast and powerful even on long hills in this area. Stays cool even in bad freeway bumper to bumper traffic. Rebuild and restoration details below. Has been in Southern California its entire life (no snow, almost no rain). We will miss this Vanagon, recent job loss forces sale, unfortunately after we began restoration.
Recently rebuilt engine, new clutch, new radiator, new power steering pump, new pwr steering rack, brakes, and front window (old one had crack). Work was done by reputable shop in southern California, and engine has 12 month warranty through 10/2014. Paint looks good but very close up you can see age in some places, has a few scratches here and there, is not perfect, but when waxed looks good. Surf rack is included, as well as a very nice A&E awning (Trans awn 2000) with good screens. Engine: 1.9L Rebuilt by JCS Volks in Los Angeles, a quality rebuilder of VW engines. I had the 2.1L upgrades installed as recommended by leading VW shops, as well as GoWesty.com. My vanagon is much faster now and purrs, faster than standard 1.9L's now, mainly because the 2.1L crankshaft was used which increases horsepower. I cannot place the link on this page per ebay but see the gowesty website and search for article named "Engine Block Story: 1.9 vs. 2.1 Waterboxer Designs". Has about 200 miles on rebuilt engine, warranty good until 10/2014, will need a 300 mile oil change and because engine is new the mechanic should check the valve adjustment per rebuilder instructions. After that it should be good to go another 170,000 miles. Interior: Very well kept and in good condition. Front and rear seats all solid and look nice, no tears, and sit well, all seat belts there and in good condition. Rear seat has a few light stains in back corner, not very noticeable. Rear seat folds into double/full bed, rear cushion in great condition. Privacy curtains all around except back window (does have curtain bar though, just needs new curtains on back window). The instrument dash lights went out recently, havent looked but likely a bulb, will fix it before sale. Also the odometer stopped working shortly after the rebuild, likely needs a new cable. The interior door lights and slider lights work well. Headliner is in good condition, just installed new rear hatch struts, hatch opens, stays up and closes perfectly. A/C: Was upgraded with overhead AC/fan system when Vanagon was new at dealer. All works well, controls and air all good, however I had the A/C compressor removed when engine rebuilt. If I had known i was selling it I would have kept it in tact. A/C compressor works and the lines are ready in engine bay, just needs to be installed. Sale includes the compressor and the bracket if new owner wants to enable A/C. After installed it will need to have lines cleared and system recharged, which usually runs under $100. Stereo: Has a stereo/CD however I have lost the face plate so it cannot be operated. The new owner could install new stereo or find a faceplate that fits the current system. Has stock speakers in door and in back. Recent work/ New parts Installed by VW shop: - engine, clutch, radiator, pwr steering pump and steering rack - GoWesty rear hatch struts - brakes were bled and cleaned, shop installed new front pads and turned rotors. Included with Vanagon: - receipts for all work - Vanagon orig. owners guide - surf racks - AC Compressor and bracket - Very nice A&E Trans Awn 2000 awning with room screens, fits on well with surf rack removed. Please don't hesitate to email any questions or call. If you leave a message I will return your call usually in evening, around 6PM PST. (949) 362-0068. Phone does not accept text. Thank you. |

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Mueller named Audi boss, too
Mon, Dec 7 2015Matthias Muller, chairman of the board for the Volkswagen Group, has officially taken the role of chairman of the supervisory board for subsidiary Audi. Muller takes over the role from the disgraced Martin Winterkorn. This appointment should come as a shock to no one, and not just because we told you about it last week. Since Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group, which Muller leads, he's effectively been the head of the subsidiary brand since his appointment in late September. This news simply formalizes his positioning at the Ingolstadt-based company. This, of course, is not Muller's first go-around at Audi. He previously served as Head of Product Management Audi (along with Lamborghini and Seat), before taking the lead on product planning at the entire VW Group. Check out the official press release from VAG. MATTHIAS MULLER BECOMES CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDI SUPERVISORY BOARD Ingolstadt/Neckarsulm, December 7, 2015 – The Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, Matthias Muller, has joined the Supervisory Board of AUDI AG and becomes its Chairman with immediate effect. Berthold Huber will continue to be Deputy Chairman. Furthermore, the two vacant seats for members representing the shareholders will be newly occupied by Julia Kuhn Piech and Josef Ahorner. Matthias Muller has been a member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG since March 1, 2015 and its Chairman since September 25, 2015. After completing high school in Ingolstadt, he did a toolmaker's apprenticeship at Audi. He then studied informatics at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. After graduating in informatics, Muller continued his career at Audi in 1978, progressing to become the Head of Product Management for the Audi, Lamborghini and SEAT brands. From 2007 onwards, Muller was Head of Product Management for the Volkswagen Group and the VW brand as well as Executive Vice President of the Volkswagen Group. From 2010 until September 2015, Matthias Muller was Chairman of the Board of Management of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. Josef Ahorner (55) is the chairman of the supervisory board and main shareholder of Emarsys AG, and was a member of the shareholder committee of Salzburger Porsche Holding from 1996 until 2008. Julia Kuhn-Piech (34) is a real estate manager and a member of the supervisory boards of MAN SE and the Truck & Bus division of MAN AG.
