2003 20th Anniversary GTI, Jazz Blue, #2395 of 4000 20ths produced, 1 of 1,000 in Jazz Blue
195,XXXmi. on odometer, 84,000 on rebuilt engine, 23,000mi. on rebuilt transmission/new clutch. VW 1.8T (turbo) engine and 6 speed manual gearbox. All receipts/records included with sale. Car is in excellent mechanical condition, owned by a 45 year old, well-seasoned technician. I purchased this car in November of 2010 at 177,740mi. I just had to have a Jazz Blue 20th! The car was in need of some TLC and I've done my best to restore/upgrade/maintain this vehicle to an outstanding mechanical condition while improving the overall cosmetic condition, inside and out. To my knowledge car has had NO accident damage, nor are any repainted panels evident. I've performed extensive upgrades/modifications to the vehicle for purposes of reliability, performance and handling. I own/operate a private shop that specializes in German performance, more specifically Porsche race cars. This car has been one of many projects of mine in the last three years. I can honestly say, this car has been one of the most reliable, funnest daily drivers I've ever owned. The hatchback is incredibly convenient and it's tough to beat the styling, performance and practicality of the MKIV GTI. I enjoy a solid 23MPG City/28MPG HWY, while boasting ~270HP via a THOROUGH Frankenturbo F4T conversion. In November, we used the vehicle to drive down to Gainesville, Florida and back. It was a comfortable drive, the power was super handy (#&$*^% semi-truck drivers!!) and we averaged 26-27MPG with some city driving. The round trip alone was a solid 22hrs. of seat time and we went all over the place while we were down there. It was fun to have my daily driver that far from home, knowing how reliable it's been. That was the 2nd of two road trips I've ever taken in the car, as I'm usually driving a diesel rig w/trailer when I travel. VEHICLE BASICS: Purchased at 177,740mi., currently at 195,358mi. Engine rebuilt @111,XXXmi., Transmission rebuilt / NEW clutch at 172,XXXmi. Factory Rated @180HP, currently ~270HP via upgraded turbo package/software/exhaust. Power Steering, Brakes, Windows, Doorlocks, keyless entry (TWO WORKING KEY$!!) Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, AM/FM/CD w/6CD Changer (Factory), Factory Alarm. R32 Body Styling with 20th AE Specific front/rear bumper covers, hatch spoiler, rocker panels and headlights. Factory 18" "Aristo" Aluminum Wheels, Factory RED Calipers (same as on Audi TT) EXTERIOR: 1 of 1,000 in Jazz Blue, factory paint, NO accidents or paintwork evident. Tint recently redone 100% by Atlantic Shoreline, Va. Beach - Va. Legal, 50% door / 35% sides and rear. Factory 18" Aristo sport wheels, in EXCELLENT condition...tires less than 1 year/~3,000mi. old. Front fender liners are NEW, right side is the Audi TT version w/vents for intercooler. Some dings in hood, driver door and major scratch on passenger door window frame, NO rust. Paint is 100% intact, w/no obvious fading and continues to wax/shine very well. INTERIOR: VERY clean and in great condition. ALL the 20th Anniversary "Perks" unique to the 20th AE intact and in great condition. Recaro Sport Seats w/embroidered script, large bolsters, unique/durable seat material - normal wear. Aluminum trim, in great condition with original serial# badge on dash/radio surround. 20th AE seat belts, shift knob / steering wheel, center console (factory armrest delete), etc. Factory VW "Monsoon" Stereo system, AM/FM/CD w/CD Changer and Amplifier in stock location, rear hatch side compartment. Door / quarter panels were recently reupholstered by Nick's Upholstery (Va. Beach) NEW glove box door, factory VW part - if you know your VWs, you know this IS a common issue. VW Factory "Monster" heavy duty floor mats, front/rear in excellent cond. Newsouth Performance Boost Gauge, matches interior styling, Indiglo Lighting matches dash display. ENGINE: Four cylinder 1.8T, rebuilt by Greenbrier VW @111K mi. Engine runs VERY well with approx. 84K mi. since rebuild, NO CODES/NO CELS Dealership replaced all coil packs via recall, September 2010. Timing Belt / Water Pump (w/steel impeller) service, November 2010 (shortly after purchase) All coolant hoses, knock sensors and CTS (coolant temp. sensor) replaced in the last year. New engine mount, transmission mount in the last 3 months. Autotech Cold Air Intake with 3" composite tube, 3" Audi TT MAF housing, new MAF sensor. FrankenTurbo Silicone TIP clamped to a FrankenTurbo F4T (Modified K04) Turbo. (kit is 1.5yrs old) Entire boost system plumbed with Samco Silicone hoses and stainless HD/T-bar clamps throughout. Forge Side Mount Intercooler (SMIC), new boost sensor, factory Throttle Body (new IAT) Overboost controlled by Boost Inc. Manual Boost Controller and Forge Diverter Valve... Exhaust/Turbo Manifold is a larger ceramic coated unit, manufactured for FrankenTurbo Power exits via an Autotech 3" Stainless Down Pipe, factory converter & Autotech 2.5" Stainless Sport Exhaust with polished Stainless Tip...nice "low key" sound. Engine compartment has been partially "shaved" via removal of factory air and battery boxes. Factory (CARB) air pump system removed/deleted via software. Fuel delivery via a Genesis high-volume Fuel Pump and Seimens 440lb Injectors. This has proven to be a VERY reliable setup and it produces a solid 26psi. of boost ALL DAY. The Frankenturbo setup and related upgrades have turned an otherwise "blah" daily driver into one hell of a fun car that yields great gas mileage! FrankenTurbo is an awesome, grassroots company, mainly focused on VW 1.8T/2.0T platforms, Doug (the Owner) offers great customer support and is constantly researching data via his customers. Performance package topped off with a custom tune by C2 Tuning, via Ben Gilman, Newport News (affiliated with Volks & Rings VW/Audi Specialists) ALL tuning accompanied by a VAGCOM analyzer, very important, most owners who "modify" their VW don't even bother with this. TRANSMISSION: Rebuilt by AAMCO Transmissions, Chesapeake, Va. September 2010, just prior to purchase. - as funny as this sounds, the "local VW expert" was currently working at AAMCO. This was a $2,500 rebuild and the clutch was replaced with a complete SACHS disk/press.plate at the same time. Shortly after purchase, I changed the transmission lube to Redline 75W/90 "NS", and it's been a flawless relationship. CV Axles are VERY expensive for a 6spd. MKIV, shortly after purchase, I removed & stripped down both axles, rebuilt with Redline CV grease, using new boots/clamps, axles torqued to specifications with new inner bolts/outer axle to hub bolts. SUSPENSION: When I purchased the car, it was in need of ALL suspension bushing replacement. Shocks were replaced with new Bilstein "Sport" units, using a new set of H&R Sport/Lowering Springs. This lowered the car another 1.2" and added a nice look to an already factory lowered vehicle. All shock mounts, strut tops, bearings and seals were replaced at that time. Ball Joints, Wheel Bearings, Control Arms (R32 bushings), Dog Bone/Motor/Trans. Mounts (recent) - all replaced. Rear support axle was rebuilt about a year after purchasing vehicle, using new factory VW bushings. Less than a year ago, the factory 18" "Aristo" wheels were stripped down and reconditioned by Auto Elite, Va. Beach. Tires were replaced at the same time the wheels were restored with Kumho ECSTA4 All Season Performance, there is ~3K mi. on the tires. This car is an absolute blast to corner-carve with. BRAKES: RED calipers, as delivered from VW on Audi TT, VW 337 and 20th AE GTI models Front pads were replaced about two years ago and have plenty of pad remaining, rear pads are NEW. Front rotors were replaced with ECS vented/slotted performance disks when front pads were changed. Rear brake (hard) lines were replaced about a year ago, with factory lines, when one of them started leaking. I cannot emphasize enough how the performance modifications, coupled with the slew of NEW parts on this vehicle make it a realiable, attractive and FUN vehicle to drive, with great mileage to boot! I've got well over my asking price wrapped up in this gem and it's a solid, performance inspired daily driver. It's also the least expensive 20th AE available on the East Coast, and undoubtedly the most mechanically sound. I challenge you to find another 20th AE GTI in like mechanical condition with similar upgrades. PLEASE DO NOT contact me with a bunch of B.S. regarding "Blue Book Value" and such...if you're looking for a 20th AE GTI, you know they come at a premium. It's not even remotely possible to duplicate this vehicle for anywhere near the asking price - it's tastefully modded, body/interior/wheels are FACTORY ORIGINAL. Any mechanical/performance/suspension/exhaust modifications can be easily reversed if you prefer a 100% "stock" vehicle, but who does? If you find yourself "troubled" over the 195K mi. on the odometer - get over it. It's a modern German performance vehicle, with rebuilt transmission (172K mi.) and rebuilt engine due to timing belt failure (prev. owner @111K mi.) The suspension has been replaced, brakes have been serviced (even replaced the lines), the interior is NOT falling apart like EVERY 20th AE out there (unless it's been reupholstered like this one) and the wheels/tires appear as if they're right out of the box. There is NOTHING that will REQUIRE you to spend any significant amount of $$$$$$$$ if you purchase this vehicle. It has been my trusty daily driver/project car for 3.5 years this month, I've simply moved on with a new daily driver. Vehicle has a FRESH detail, inside and out by a professional, recent oil/filter change, using Motul Synthetic (always), new Bosch Icon (bracketless) type wiper blade assemblies and new rear Pagid "Premium" brake pads. Some of the original parts related to this vehicle will be included with sale - I.E.: Engine Cover, Battery Box, Air Box, etc. I am very flexible with regards to transporting of vehicle. I can transport via personal diesel truck/enclosed trailer within a 300mi. radius for a reasonable fee to cover my expenses -or- can meet for exchange of vehicle. I am NOT looking for trades, a partial trade is possible but I'm mainly looking to CA$H OUT as I have a new daily driver. Vehicle is located in Chesapeake, Va. in a VERY convenient location, a straight 4mi. shot off I-64, Greenbrier exit. |

Someone is leaving anti-diesel flyers on Volkswagen TDIs in Portland
Tue, Sep 29 2015As if some Volkswagen TDI owners don't already feel bad enough, given the recent diesel scandal, someone is further shaming them. Flyers full of bad information are being left on TDI cars in eco-friendly Portland, OR. Portland-based sandwich joint Lardo posted a picture of the flyer to their Instagram account yesterday morning. Along with annoying font color changes, the flyer incorrectly states that the diesel car spews two to four times more pollutants than a Chevy Suburban. The author of the flyer also throws a Nazi mention in there for good measure, though they get the history wrong, too. Volkswagen wasn't founded by Nazis, though the Nazi government did create a nationalized car industry to build the 'People's Car', originally designed by Ferdinand Porsche. The factory ended up making war machines instead. Volkswagens weren't really produced until after the fall of the Nazis at the end of World War II. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Volkswagen outfitted their "clean" diesel cars with a device that would only limit emissions during testing. Once on the road, the car spewed 40 times more pollutants than it claimed. The automaker plans to 'refit' 11 million faulty vehicles. Today, the automaker launched a website dedicated to consumers unlucky enough to own the bum vehicles. Eco-warriors aren't the only ones leaving judgmental, passive-aggressive notes on cars. Like this incident in Portland, these notes often fall flat, like when this paralyzed man in Michigan parked in a handicap spot and was accused of stealing the spot simply because he drove his BMW to the gym.
Volkswagen Scirocco GTS set for Shanghai reveal
Fri, Apr 17 2015Though we still can't get one over here, buyers in other markets can get the Scirocco in an array of trim levels. And at the Shanghai Motor Show this month, Volkswagen is introducing another. The new Scirocco GTS slots between the base models and the R performance version. Reviving the spirit of the original introduced more than 30 years ago and picking up where the last model left off, the new GTS splits the Scirocco lineup the way the GTI fits into the Golf range. It even packs the GTI's engine: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 210 hp, mated to either a six-speed manual or DSG. The GTS also packs standard 18-inch (or optional 19-inch wheels), a further departure from the R-Line aero kit and racing stripes running up the top. The interior is similarly upgraded with special trim, a golf-ball shifter (on manual versions) and more. All of this makes the Scirocco an even more tempting proposition – if only we could get our hands on one. Wolfsburg/Shanghai, 16 April 2015 Comeback of a GT icon: World premiere of the 220 PS Scirocco GTS in Shanghai - Exclusive GTS trim with new 18-inch alloy wheels - Scirocco GTS* has a new generation of infotainment equipment on board as standard Ten key facts about the Scirocco GTS*: 1. The new Scirocco GTS makes its debut as a separate and especially sporty GT version 2. 220 PS Scirocco GTS has a top speed of 246 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds 3. Individualised exterior with new 18-inch alloy wheels and optional GTS decor (decor standard in China) 4. Red brake callipers as an identifying feature 5. Exclusive GTS interior with black trim features, red stitching and the legendary golf ball gear knob 6. Included as standard: the "Composition Colour", from the latest generation of infotainment systems 7. Modular infotainment matrix (MIB II) available for all Scirocco models from the end of May 8. The Scirocco GTS can also be ordered with an extremely quick-shifting 6-speed DSG gearbox as an option 9. The spirit of the first Scirocco GTS (which made its debut in 1982) was carried forward into the year 2015 in the new GTS 10. With over a million sold, the Scirocco is one of the most successful sports cars in the world Some cars live for ever because they are constantly reinvented. The Scirocco, a pure-bred European sports car, is one of these cars that is forever young. Presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 41 years ago, it became an icon of compact German coupes.
Volkswagen's new Passat Alltrack ready to scale the Alps
Thu, Feb 19 2015Volvo may be stepping up its off-roading game with a greater variety of Cross Country models tumbling out the factory in Gothenburg, but the other (larger) European automaker whose name starts with the letters V-O-L is also broadening and updating its range of road-going automobiles equipped to handle a little soft-road duty. Aside from Audi's Allroad line, Skoda's Scout models and the new Seat Leon X-Perience, the Volkswagen brand itself has recently showcased Alltrack versions of the Golf, Multivan and of course the Passat. And now it's announced a new version of the latter for the European market. Based on the Euro-spec Passat Variant, the new VW Passat Alltrack follows a familiar formula: take a station wagon, equip it with all-wheel drive, jack up the suspension, add some lower body cladding and some new trim and – voila! – you've got a pseudo rough-roader on your hands. Set to debut in just a couple of weeks from now at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the new Passat Alltrack is visually distinguished by its new bumpers, underbody protection, beefed-up wheel arch moldings and a ride height increased by over an inch to the benefit of ground clearance as well as approach and departure angles. European buyers who like to leave the road every once in a while (or give the impression that they do) will be able to choose from a range of five engines: two burning gasoline with either 148 horsepower or 217, and three diesels available in 148-, 187- or 237-hp states of tune. The base TSI and TDI engines are mated to a six-speed manual, while the top three are hooked up to a six-speed DCT, but they all come with 4Motion all-wheel drive as standard. All but the base TSI model boast a towing capacity of 1,800 kg, enhanced by a Trailer Assist system that automatically lines the vehicle up to a trailer. It even comes equipped with an off-road mode that incorporates Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Assist to make any journey across the Alps a breeze. Wolfsburg / Geneva, 19 February 2015 World premiere of the new Passat Alltrack All-wheel drive all-rounder combines the best of on-road and off-road driving - Passat Alltrack: 100 per cent 4MOTION – from 150 PS to 240 PS - Superior off-road performance with off-road mode and all-wheel drive Ten important facts about the world premiere of the Passat Alltrack: 1. Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard. 2. Distinctive off-road look with new bumpers, underbody protection, door sill and wheel arch trims. 3.
