1993 Volkswagen Eurovan MV Weekender Edition

Welcome to our auction of this Eurovan. We purchased this last fall as a weekend camping vehicle after the prior owner passed away. They did a lot of work on this which will be listed below. I have slept in it for 4 nights and it is very comfortable. The rear seat lays flat to make a queen size bed. It has custom black out panels that cover every window for sleeping and changing clothes. The table flips up for lunch and dinner and folds out of the way when not in use. We have driven this to Houston TX and back to Michigan this past January. Last year, it was driven to Yellowstone National Park. This is a nice weekend driver/camper and drives straight, stops well, and idles smoothly.

We are remodeling our kitchen (cabinets are expensive) and have decided we do not need a camping vehicle as we have two daily drivers.

OVER $4,171.00 Parts have been installed since 2012!

Sony USB Port Radio

Rear Cargo Hitch/Platform.

Custom black-out panels to cover all interior windows when camping.

The Bad: I want to be sure you know what you are buying so I am listed every little thing that I have noticed is wrong.

Mechanical:

-I want to be up front with this. It has a major Transmission leak! Needs a quart of fluid every 120-150 miles. It still drives good, as I am very diligent about replacing the fluid. It leaks mostly out the front transmission seal. It is a $12 dollar part. The catch? You have to remove the entire transmission to replace it. Which is why I have not replaced it or had it replaced by a professional.

-Transmission Oil Pressure Switch: This light and alarm sounds on long drives when driving at 45-55mph. The dealership and local service station has stated that the engine and transmission would immediately die if it really was out of oil pressure and because it still runs fine, it is most likely the oil pressure switch needing replacement. Again, I drove this to Houston, TX and back with it in this condition.

-There is a slow coolant leak somewhere in the radiator or front hoses, I can smell it but cannot find it. Every couple weeks of driving, it lowers to the fill line and I top it off.

-Heater core is not connected. The plastic tube that connects the heater core inside the cabin to the engine bay broke, so I have bypassed the heater core. It does not effect the engine, only the heat once winter comes back. This part is 127.00 but you have to take the entire dash out to get to it. Since I was only going to use as a summer camping vehicle, I did not bother replacing it. It should be replaced by next fall if you want this to be your daily driver.

-Exterior:

The corners of the bumpers have the typical scuffs, dents, paint issues of a vehicle this age.

-Under the passenger rear window, several little rust spots starting to appear. Look at the images

-Rear hatch has a small rust spot that has been primered over by previous owner about 2x3 inches

-Under the driver door, a long dent and primered spot. Looks like they drove into a low standing object.

-Passenger side mirror has black tape covering a cracked housing.

-Radio antenna only has a base, actual antenna is missing. Still can listen to radio, just doesn't pick up if your in the middle of nowhere (I use the USB so I listen to all the songs/books on tape from my computer)

Interior:

-I have never figured out how the use the A/C Heater controls. When set to defroster the fans work at all speeds. When set to heat, the fans do not work (again heater core is not connected so there is no heat output). I have heard these controls have issues on the Eurovans.

-Missing passenger side B- pillar interior trim.

-Typical stains on carpet and seats of a vehicle of this age.

-Passenger seat armrest is broken.

-Passenger door auto-lock does not work. It stays locked 24-7. You have to use the key to open the door.

-Parts of the black trim on the dash have been cracked and taped together.

-Shifter knob has part of the rubber is missing.

-Missing the 3 headrests for the rear bench seat.

We live in the middle of MI, Mt. Pleasant. The closest airport is in Saginaw (MBS). We will come meet you there for free if you fly into there. For an additional $50.00 we will drive to Grand Rapids Airport (Gerald R. Ford International Airport). For 100.00, we will drive to Detroit airport (Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport) to pick you up. I also have a short video of me driving the van. My phone died as I was recording but you can see it in action. I will try to record another and put on youtube this week.

I have many more images and can take additional images if you email me.

If you have any questions please call 845-235-716, leave a message and I will call you back.

Thanks.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

BMW says its diesels are above board

Fri, Sep 25 2015

BMW got yanked into the riptide of the Volkswagen diesel scandal thanks to a report in Auto Bild, which Auto Bild has now clarified. On Thursday the German magazine said that when the International Council on Clean Transportation tested the X3 xDrive 2.0d, the ICCT discovered the diesel X3's tailpipe emissions exceeded the European limit by more than 1,100 percent. The key detail, though, is that apparently at no time did the ICCT find that BMW cheated on any emissions tests. No one has explained why the X3 diesel had such high emissions and the ICCT wouldn't comment on the Auto Bild report. But the mag has issued a clarification asserting that in spite of the excessive emissions, there is no evidence BMW engaged in regulatory subterfuge. Every other BMW vehicle ICCT tested was within compliance, but the organization's report from October 2014 - that no one paid attention to - found that nitrogen oxide emissions in 15 vehicles it tested averaged seven times the European limit. The brand's stock is still suffering from the taint. It dropped almost ten percent the day the report came out before rallying to close at five percent down. But on Monday BMW stock closed at 84.01 euros, and as of writing on Friday it's still trying to fight its way back above 80 euros. With so many people still just trying to find out how widespread the the issue is, and trust rather low, it's likely BMW won't be the one dragged down, fairly or not. Related Video:
