Here we have a nice 1955 VW Beetle for your driving pleasure. This was purchased by me in July 2011 in order to bring back my youth. I recently purchased a 2013 VW convertible limited 50's special edition so I feel it is time to let someone else enjoy this 1955. I've had a great deal of fun driving the '55 and it has been reliable. Here are the particulars; It has the original interior (Red German Vinyl) which has NO rips or tears, just the normal wear for its age. The same goes for the carpet. The headliner is a nice replacement. Original instruments function properly. The original steering wheel shows the normal wear. The body had been repainted several years prior to my ownership. Little if any rust. The car spent many years in CA and AZ. The hood (as seen in the pictures) has a slight wrinkle on the drivers side when it was improperly closed without real easing the latch. It does close and latch properly. The semaphores had worked properly until recently when I decided to unplug them as they need some minor tweaking to release properly. The regular turn signals will work properly both front and rear if the semaphores are reconnected. The bumpers have decent chrome for their age. Prior to my ownership, a newer engine and correct transmission (with synchromesh) was installed. The engine # is H5775270. As stated it runs very well. It has a 12 volt electrical system and upgraded disc brakes in the front. When the engine was installed they did not set it up with a heater function as it was used in a warm climate. The tires have many miles remaining on the tread. The original owners manual will be included. It has a clean Nebraska title and I will supply a "Bill of Sale" as well. I will attempt to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached at 402- 488-8826. This car will make a vintage VW enthusiast happy with its drivability and historical attributes. The car is located in Lincoln NE and any shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in any way I can with the shipper. Your are welcome to inspect the car in person if you wish. I want to be as honest as possible in my description. This car is being sold without any warranty written or implied because of it vintage.

VW Jetta TDI dyno shows HP loss trying to recreate cheat mode
Sun, Oct 4 2015Volkswagen is working on a fix for diesel-engined vehicles that are out of compliance with emissions regulations in the US and other countries. We're told that engineers will be presenting a solution internally sometime this month, but that doesn't mean we'll actually see it in the wild this month. One big question we have about the coming fix is, will it affect the car's performance? That question relates to another we have about the engine as it is: How much performance would the 2.0-liter diesel lose right now if it were turned down to pass US emissions? The Fast Lane Car tried to sketch some answers by going to a shop in Denver, Colorado to run a 2011 Jetta TDI with a six-speed DSG transmission on an all-wheel-drive dyno. The thinking was that if you ran all four wheels the car would think it was on the road, whereas if you ran only two the car might think it's being tested. We'll get straight to the numbers: the stock sedan is quoted at 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. When run with all four wheels turning it produced an uncorrected 114 hp and 214 lb-ft at the wheels. When run with just two wheels in motion the Jetta got 113 hp and 188 lb-ft at the wheels. Reading the graph, we're told that power differences between the two runs were as much as 15 hp and 32 lb-ft. You'll need to take some salt with these numbers, though, because the dyno and test protocol in the video are nothing like those used by the EPA. The shop attempts to trick the Jetta into 'emissions testing mode' by using the front wheels only for the two-wheel-drive run, but we have a feeling the software code at issue is far more sophisticated than that, since the ICCT, UVA, the EPA, and CARB investigated the situation for more than a year and couldn't figure out. Also, the technician adjusts for being a mile above sea level with a correction factor of 1.2 applied to horsepower and torque, which inflates the disparity in the final power differences over the two runs. Go to YouTube and read the lengthy comments on the video left by Andrew Price for a more thorough dissection of what could explain TFL's disparities. You can watch the video above, and feel free to try and dissect the results yourselves in the comments below. Related Video:
Volkswagen incorporating gesture control into updated Golf
Tue, May 26 2015For many, the Volkswagen Golf is the epitome of the accessible mode of transportation. It is the "People's Car," after all. Yet in its next iteration, it's slated to get some trick high-end tech on board. Speaking with Auto Express, VW powertrain chief Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser revealed that the upcoming facelifted Golf will include gesture control technology. "The interior features a preview of future VW interior technologies, with smartphone applications redefined for automotive use," Neusser told AE. "The gesture control will become reality in the Golf at the end of next year." The feature is being rolled out by other automakers on decidedly more upscale offerings (like the next-gen BMW 7 Series), but look poised to democratize the technology on the far more accessible Golf as soon as next year when the updated model arrives. VW demonstrated the tech at CES with the Golf R Touch concept, which is making an encore appearance at CES Asia in Shanghai this week, where Neusser confirmed the features are slated for production. The VW Golf R Touch concept incorporated a trio of oversized infotainment displays measuring 12.8, 12.3 and 8 inches, as well as gesture-control technology and all the latest smartphone connectivity standards – including Microsoft MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Google's Android Auto.
