Clean on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
Mk. V GTI for sale, I am the fifth owner. I love the car but It’s time for something newer.
This is a great used car in good condition. The ride is comfortable with a quality interior, one of the best at this price point. The steering, acceleration, and just general driving characteristics are all fantastic. What's even better is how much capability you get along with it. Despite being a two-door the back seats are still spacious and not too difficult to get into. You get a good amount of cargo space as well, even more with the backseats folded down, I was able to fit my mountain bike in it. Fuel economy is pretty great for a turbocharged engine as well, I usually get around 25-27mpg.
Mods: Nothing major, just an aftermarket intake and stereo head unit with Bluetooth.
I've had a lot of recent maintenance done:
Brand new tires, they're barely a month old
Fixed a vacuum leak and replaced the oil dipstick
Replaced the brake booster and brake booster hoses
Replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor
Replaced the oil separator pres. regulating valve
Replaced the crankcase vent valve gasket
Replaced the breather hose
The car is in good condition, especially for how many miles it's driven, however, there are a few (mostly cosmetic) issues with it:
Sunspots on the exterior
Scraped a curb while parking once and the front splitter came loose a little
The passenger seat adjuster is broken off, though luckily the seat is stuck in a good position so legroom for both the front seat and rear-seat passengers is still good.
Front left parking light is out (which causes a warning light). This light would only be on while the vehicle is stationary.
Mechanical:
The only mechanical issue I know of is that the engine thermostat needs to be replaced (this is causing the check engine light to be on). I have the part and was planning on doing it myself but it is a tedious repair and I simply don't have the time. The repair is doable yourself but it might be easiest to just take the part to a shop and have them do it.
VIN: WVWFV71K07W256666

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
