Very clean and well cared for 1982 Caddy.  Engine is 1.9l conversion from Eurospec Sport with 5000 miles on it.  Intake and exhaust manifold are from Europe and made for the 1.9l NA engine.  Starts first crank every time and easily maintains 80mph even up moderate hills.  Diesel injectors and pump still 1.6 but work fine.  In addition, truck comes with very rare factory Power Steering and AC both working.  Transmission is 5-speed manual with no issues.  Clutch, brake calipers, shoes/pads, shocks, wheel bearings and rotors all replaced same time as engine.

Interior is all original with an added CD player under glovebox.  Rear window is hard to find 3 piece.  Sliding glass broke and currently replaced with plexiglass but original hardware still on hand.  Only defects in interior are two tears in driver seat.  Power locks installed in 2008.

Front end is off 1991 Cabriolet.  Truck was involved in minor accident in 2008, new paint and front body panels at that time.  Paint is not to my high standards but not the worst.  Originally came back to me with bumper from '91 Cabriolet as well but no paint behind bumper.  Hated the bumper and replaced but paint still not fixed.  Rear bumper was just removed as I was going to make custom bumpers and repair minor dent from when rear ended in 2002(so minor, damage not even noticed till 3yrs later).  Small spot of rust under rear window passenger side.

I am second owner of this truck and have had it since 2001.  It has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever had.  Paint in the bed is still original and has had a mat in it since the day it came off the lot as far as I can tell.  I put the first ever scratch in it around 2002.  In 2011 head gasket needed replaced and I elected to take the opportunity to install a new 1.9L to give it some extra power.  Due to military deployments and moves the install was not completed until late 2012.  I have since been fine tuning and working to get the full potential out of engine.  Recently I received larger intake and exhaust manifolds from Germany designed for this engine and installed a new MagnaFlo exhaust.  Truck easily reaches 80mph and I hold in the fast lane any time I need.  With the exception of when it was down for engine swap this has been my daily driver for 12yrs.  I really hate to sell her but I have found a new project and the wife says something has to go.  I have lots of extra parts and accessories that come with the truck.  Only thing that doesn't go, is the original window sticker(I'm framing that baby).

VW Golf TDI circles US on less than $300 of diesel

Wed, Jul 8 2015

$294.98. That's how much it cost the Volkswagen team to drive across all 48 contiguous states in the union. Which is pretty impressive, but it's only part of the story. In an effort to demonstrate just how economical a conventional diesel engine can be, VW sent a team out from its US headquarters in Herndon, VA, in a Golf TDI. Their mission was to visit all the Lower 48 on as little fuel as possible. Over the course of 16 days, they traveled 8,233.5 miles, burned through 101.43 gallons of fuel, and marked a frankly astonishing average of 81.17 miles per gallon. As a result, the team – made up of hypermiling automotive journalist Wayne Gerdes and electronics engineer Bob Winger Ā– picked up a new Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption achieved in a non-hybrid car across the 48 contiguous states. The previous record, it's worth noting, had also been set by VW and Gerdes, who piloted a 2013 Passat TDI at just a hair under 80 mpg. But here's the kicker: in raising the diesel economy bar even higher, the team also beat the record for the same achievement in a hybrid vehicle by over six mpg. So the next time someone tries to tell you a hybrid is more efficient than a diesel (at least on the highway), you can point them towards this record.

Ā— Volkswagen of America, Inc., is pleased to announce today that the 2015 Golf TDIĀ® Clean Diesel, part of the family of vehicles that won the 2015 North American Car of the Year, has set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDSĀ® achievement for the "lowest fuel consumptionĀ—48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car" with a remarkable 81.17 mpg. Traveling 8,233.5 miles around America in 16 days on $294.98 of ShellĀ® Diesel fuel, the Golf beat the previous mark of 77.99 mpg by more than 3 mpg, and also beat the hybrid vehicle record of 74.34 mpg by more than 6 mpg. "Covering 8,233.5 miles on just 101.43 gallons of Clean Diesel fuel is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen's TDIĀ® Clean Diesel vehicles," said Michael Horn, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

VW to pay $1B in settlement with US government over V6 diesels

Tue, Dec 20 2016

Volkswagen and the US government have come to a settlement for the civil claims against the automaker's 3.0-liter, diesel V6s. Over 83,000 V6 TDI-powered models are currently prowling US roads in violation of emissions laws. The settlement allows VW to recall over 75 percent of its cheating V6 diesels – about 63,000 units Ā– and bring them into compliance. These represent newer VW Touaregs, Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7s, and Porsche Cayennes built between 2013 and 2016. According to the company, the recall will bring these so-called Generation Two engines up to emissions specs, provided the EPA and CARB okay the modifications. Should the regulators say no to VW's tweaks, the company will buy back or terminate leases with the affected owners. For older V6 TDIs built between 2009 and 2012, Volkswagen will do broadly the same thing, only in reverse. It will lead with buy backs of older Touaregs and Q7s Ā– the only vehicles the company sold with the earlier engines Ā– but could offer fixes if EPA/CARB give the okay. As part of its agreement over the emissions-cheating V6s, Volkswagen will contribute $225 million to the "environmental remediation trust" it established as part of its settlement over cheating 2.0-liter TDIs. VW is also on the hook for $25 million with CARB, bringing the total for the six-cylinder part of its emissions cheating scandal to around $1 billion, Automotive News reports. This initial agreement still needs approval from US District Court Judge Charles Breyer. Related Video:

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
