Very difficult to find a nice camper this year in this condition, it is a very solid example of a VW Westfalia camper

Although not perfect, it is very presentable and a joy to drive.

It has a newer more powerful engine, that was rebuilt a few years ago, and now has about 25,000 miles on it. I have receipts for about 5,000 in mechanical work that go with the camper. The engine runs strong and starts up every time. The manual transmission shifts as it should.

The outside body of the camper is in very good shape, not a show vehicle, but it is in very good condition. The undercarriage is solid.

The interior has been redone with new material very recently. There are new hard wood floating floors installed. The interior is in very good shape.

The camper comes with the factory sink and ice box, then a buddy seat with a heater underneath(the heater is not connected). The camper also runs off of a gas heater with separate exhaust. The top folds up and there is a bed that extends out. There is also a bed that can be used over the front driver and passenger seat. When the bench seat in the back folds out, you can sleep up to two people. There is a ripe in the canvass when the top is up. There are no leaks inside the camper. The windshield will have to be replaced as there is a crack.

Aside from the engine being rebuilt, the front has new calipers, rotors, and brake pads. The power booster is acting up, and may have to be replaced, but it stops fine.

There is an awning, not shown, that goes with the camper.

The camper is located in Surrey, British Columbia. Arrangements can be made to have it taken to Bellingham, WA, at an additional cost of 200.00, or the unit can be picked up in BC.

Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the camper. Once you have committed to the puchase, this is not an opportunity to check out the camper afterwards, after the auction ends. Ask all questions prior to auction close.

thank you

Porsche engine wizard Wolfgang Hatz resigns

Tue, May 3 2016

Wolfganag Hatz has resigned from his position as Member of the Porsche Executive Board with responsibility for Research and Development. He has held that title since 2011. Hatz's storied career came to an abrupt end in September when he was suspended pending investigation into the Volkswagen diesel scandal. Before the Porsche job, Hatz was the head of engine and powertrain development for the Volkswagen Group. It has been alleged that he is at the center of the investigation into the company cheating on emissions testing, but so far there has been no direct link made to him, according to Porsche's announcement today. Hatz has worked at a variety of European automakers, including Audi, BMW, Opel, and Fiat. He is considered the father of the BMW S14 engine, which powered the E30 M3, and also developed the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8. He was also very involved in Porsche's motorsports efforts, including the recent return to the prototype class and a short-lived F1 V12 engine project. Ulrich Hackenberg, most recently VW's lead engineer and a board member at Audi, was also suspended at the same time as Hatz and resigned shortly thereafter. It's not clear why Hatz waited so long to do the same, but Porsche claims his resignation was voluntary. Michael Steiner has been named Hatz's replacement as head of Porsche R&D. Steiner has been with Porsche since 2002 and seems like a forward-thinking sort, having headed the innovation and concepts division, lead Panamera development, and, most recently, been in charge of complete vehicle engineering. Prior to his time at Porsche, Steiner held positions at Daimler. The change in leadership is effective immediately. Related Video:

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
