1996 Volkswagen Passat Tdi Wagon on 2040-cars
Bellingham, Washington, United States
Passat B4V-TDI #744, Wolfsburg Edition
1996 VW Passat B4V-TDI Wagon #744.
This is one of the original 980 B4V-TDI wagons sold in the US in 1996.
It is one of the remaining 622 still registered in the US. This Passat B4V #744 was built 7-12-96 at the Audi assembly plant in Emden, Germany. It
was shipped to a VW dealer in Boulder, Colorado and sold new on 8-6-96. The
original owner lived in Colorado until 2006 when he moved to Oregon.
The Wagon was in Oregon until 2012 when it was purchased by NICECARS.
This B4V Wagon has always been a western car, important in that it was
not subjected to the salty winter roads of the Northeast section of the
US. Western/Southern cars are the best. This wagon gets 50 MPG
using pump diesel on the highway. We found no
evidence this B4V-TDI Wagon had any accidents (history report shows NO
accidents) and we are convinced it had original paint when it arrived at
NICECARS. The original paint on the roof and the
hood were dull so it underwent a full repaint, base/coat clear/coat with PPG
paint. The clear was color-sanded and buffed/polished to a high shine.
It was painted the original "Emerald Green Pearl Metallic, LC6P/W7. The
mechanical upgrades include new air filter, new fuel filter, new cabin
filter, new German timing belt, new tensioner, new Serpentine belt, new
roller, new v-belt, new water pump (German with steel impellers) new
valve cover gasket, new intake to turbo pipe, cleaned intake manifold, cleaned inner cooler,

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
