Lost my parking space so my trusty VW 1998 TDI Jetta must go to a new home.It has the 1.9 Turbo diesel with a manual shift 5 speed. About 30,000 miles ago the motor was overhauled with new rings,bearings and cylinder head camshaft timing components. The motor had snapped the timing belt so I figured since it was apart why not renew it all.At the time a new clutch was also fitted.I have driven her 30,000 miles over 7 years with no issues.The car starts right up in the cold every day.She runs drives and stops just fine.Last week I but new brake pads on her.The tires have about 10,000 miles on them and are in good condition .The only issue I have with the car right now is the driver side windows stopped working since both stopped at the same time I suspect the switch that controls them is bad.Besides that the car is very reliable and gets about 40mpg.I have gotten up to 50 mpg but it seems like work ie... coasting to stop signs never going above 50 mph and shifting at 1475 rpm.It can be done but its just work to me.All the other electrical options on the car work fine.The sunroof opens and does not leak and the A/C blows hard and ice cold.Theres no major rust or suspension issues .The car does not need any immediate service I always changed the oil every 3,000 miles and kept up to date with changing filters and fluids . Im sure you could just jump in and drive cross county in this car no problem.Call me Joe 347-744-7591 to arrange a test drive or for more information.If your local I can drop the car off once it paid or will help arrange shipping if you need it shipped out of state .Be sure to click on the video test drive I took of the car below.  photo IMAG3691_zps7aa48dc7.jpg  photo IMAG3692_zps8eb9e338.jpg  photo IMAG3693_zpsf6ecd087.jpg  photo IMAG3693_zpsf6ecd087.jpg  photo IMAG3695_zpsfbc94832.jpg  photo IMAG3696_zps3c109e91.jpg photo IMAG3697_zps22f9f067.jpg photo IMAG3698_zps4107edd8.jpg photo IMAG3699_zpsedc66fb0.jpg photo IMAG3700_zps536406fe.jpg photo IMAG3701_zps876c1c93.jpg photo IMAG3702_zps87240aa1.jpg photo IMAG3703_zps69a7ef50.jpg< photo IMAG3705_zpsce961f5f.jpg="http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w443/erzcar/98tdi/IMAG3704_zps8e34dc9d.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMAG3704_zps8e34dc9d.jpg"/> photo IMAG3706_zps1c359855.jpg photo IMAG3707_zps4a80d187.jpg photo IMAG3708_zpsda899ea3.jpg photo IMAG3709_zpsb98adc74.jpg photo IMAG3710_zpsa9200337.jpg photo IMAG3711_zps78ee179d.jpg photo IMAG3712_zpsa09f975d.jpg photo IMAG3713_zpsf8a3832b.jpg photo IMAG3714_zpsd1f357da.jpg photo IMAG3715_zpscafad229.jpg photo IMAG3716_zpsae5ab16a.jpg photo IMAG3717_zps0c87c4b6.jpg photo IMAG3718_zpsd4b8c892.jpg photo IMAG3719_zpsc89c1764.jpg photo IMAG3720_zps57faaf7d.jpg photo IMAG3721_zps73246183.jpg photo IMAG3722_zps74c53c86.jpg photo IMAG3723_zps8b816d24.jpg photo IMAG3724_zps6c0eb8da.jpg photo IMAG3725_zps937fc802.jpg photo IMAG3726_zpsdc251305.jpg photo IMAG3727_zpse858da5d.jpg photo IMAG3728_zps2299b8a9.jpg photo IMAG3729_zps668882eb.jpg photo IMAG3730_zps045897c8.jpg photo IMAG3731_zps317a6a4e.jpg photo IMAG3732_zps080f445e.jpg photo IMAG3733_zps3f4b25fa.jpg photo IMAG3734_zpsa8d020d4.jpg photo IMAG3735_zps4097e0dd.jpg photo IMAG3736_zpsf35aba94.jpg photo IMAG3737_zps0c02759e.jpg

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network

Tue, Jul 6 2021

Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement.  "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.

Recharge Wrap-up: First VW e-Golf in US up for auction, meet Project Ain't Fuelin'

Tue, Oct 14 2014

Volkswagen is auctioning the first e-Golf in the US to raise money for Global Green USA. The auction is live now, and bidding goes until 3:30 pm Eastern on October 29. Global Green USA will use the proceeds to help find solutions to climate change, and the winner will get to enjoy emissions-free driving before the car e-Golf goes on sale in November. If you don't live in or near California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington DC, you might want to sit this one out, as the car will only be available to pick up at dealers in those initial launch states. Go bid now, or learn more in the press release below. Berlin, Germany will use Solaris electric buses for a complete bus line in 2015. The downtown line will run 3.8 miles between Zoologischer Garten Station and Sudkreuz. The transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will use four of the Solaris e-buses for the test, each about 39 feet long. The buses use a 200-kilowatt inductive charging system at the ends of the line to recharge in just a few minutes. The government-funded test runs through 2016, but BVG pans to use the electric buses beyond that timeline. Read more at Green Car Congress. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is worried that the Obama administration will use ethanol requirements to influence a Senate race in Iowa. In the midst of a close race against Republican Joni Ernst, Representative Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate, is urging Obama to reject a cut in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The November election approaches, meanwhile the EPA continues to delay issuing an ethanol requirement for the year, with or without its proposed 16-percent reduction. Rejecting the cut could help get farmers and ethanol producers on the side of Braley. "We are very concerned that the signals we are seeing from the administration is that the political calculations are outweighing sound fuels policy," says API's Bob Greco. Read more at Businessweek. Project Ain't Fuelin' aims to fix up old cars to return them to original fuel economy, and then surpass it. Episode 3 of Valvoline's Under The Hood video series features Daniel Gray of MPGomatic, who is doing just that to a 1999 Honda Civic HX Coupe. He aims to get 50 mpg out of the old Civic by tuning it up, tinkering with the aerodynamics, switching to more efficient tires and other modifications.
