The time has come to sell my beloved jetta in hopes that someone will get as much enjoyment out of it as i did. It is a 1984 1.6 factory turbo diesel 5 speed. I have done alot of work to the car over the years and taken very good care of it.

It belonged to my cousin who bought it from the original owner out of north carolina. My cousin would drive the car back and fourth from n.c. to lititz pa to visit her family. She eventually gave it to her father who drove it around town on occasion. He had a local vw specialist do all the work to the car before i got it.

Once he sold it to me i drove it around for about a month until the injection pump went out do to bad injectors. The car sat for a couple years until i had the pump fixed and the injectors rebuilt. when I was installing the injectors I cracked the head at the bottom of the threads. I removed the head and had it welded and installed new gaskets and out it back together. The car has been this way for several years now with zero problems. It has 197,000 miles on the motor the trans was replaced with one from an eco diesel and the 5th gear (.71) from the original trans was installed for long distance driving. I still have the original trans but the diff broke so not sure how much is good with it. The pump has been tweaked slightly and a boost controller installed to allow it to run 20 psi of boost with minimal smoke. The exhaust is custom 2.5" mandrel bent from turbo back with no muffler or cat. I have installed aftermarket boost, egt, and oil pressure gauges in the factory center console to keep an eye on everything. The air conditioning has been gone over and all internals cleaned and re-charged with r 134. The heater core was replaced a couple years ago. Both heat and a/c work.

About 2 years ago I had a friend who is a painter sand the whole car down and repaint the car in the original color gambia red. At that time I found a euro jetta front end and clear corners and euro jetta bumpers and installed them. The tail lights are cheap knockoff clear tails that i fixed to keep from leaking and seal to the car and painted red. I have the original tail lights as well. It has raceland coils, all new suspension bushings and new control arms as well as new inner and outer tie rod ends. I bought a set of 2.5" osvw strut caps with mk4 bushings. I just put new brakes on the front and upgraded to the gli pads and rotors.

The interior is all original with the exception of the 4 button turbo diesel steering wheel i got from overseas. It is in good shape for its age with no tears in the seats. The headliner has a couple small tears in it one of which i repaired but it is not sagging. The front windshield seal is new and new chrome was installed in the front and rear seals. It doeas have a factory sunroof that works and doesnt leak. It has a fairly new seal on it as well.

As of now the car has 13" bmw turbine wheels with 165/65-13. I still have the gold rota 15" wheels and will consider selling them with the car for the asking price.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

Suspended VW exec Hackenberg resigns in wake of scandal

Fri, Dec 4 2015

Ulrich Hackenberg, father of the innovative modular architecture that underpins many modern Volkswagen and Audi products and a 30 year veteran of the giant company, has resigned his position as the lead engineer for the entire Volkswagen Group as well as his seat on Audi's management board, reports Automotive News. The resignation closes out a two-month suspension while the investigation into VW's deceptive emissions practices continues.The resignation follows the admission by Audi that the 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine was also fitted with emissions-control defeating software, like some of its four-cylinder TDI counterparts. In turn, this lead to changes in Audi's management structure. AN reports that Matthias Muller, who has already taken over Martin Winterkorn's position as VW Group CEO, will also be named chairman of the Audi brand.Hackenberg's successor was named as part of this announcement. Stephan Knirsch, who has lead engine development at the Audi division, will assume Hackenberg's roles as both board member for Audi in charge of technical development, and as the head for technical development across the whole group.Related Video:
