Hi, i have an 1999 Volkswagen Beetle with a super strong engine. The car accelerates quickly and it has some power. The engine isn't missing or ticking. The tranny is also strong but not as smooth shifting, although that isn't really noticeable as it is an automatic. The paint is ok, a few dings here and there, but no real fading. However, there some problems-First problem; it has super high mileage-245,000. I bought this car off of ebay and started to register it, I just got it smogged (passed) and now i am waiting for the paperwork (title,registration) to come in the mail. The ABS and seatbelt lights stay on, so i assume it needs a brake job, as it brakes slowly. I replaced the radiator, battery, the water pump, the timing belt among many of other little things (have the paperwork). There is a crack the length of the windshield. The driver seat is ripped and broken. The face of the stereo is lost as well. Sometimes, you have to turn the A/C on when driving in hot weather to give the fans a boost to get the engine hot light to turn off, cold weather is fine. I spent over $2100 in repairs

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit

Wed, Dec 10 2014

We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.

Audi exec suspended over diesel scandal

Mon, Sep 19 2016

So far, just one lower-level employee has plead guilty in the ongoing VW diesel scandal. Up high, the VW CEO when the scandal broke, Martin Winterkorn, resigned right after the news came out. Other executives have also quit or been suspended as well. Today, we learn that one more executive is feeling the heat a year into the scandal. Stefan Knirsch, the head of technical development at Audi and Audi board member, is going to be suspended from his position this week because of his ties to the technology that VW Group used to cheat emissions tests. The German newspaper Bild Am Sonntag reports that Knirsch not only knew that the cheating software existed but also lied about it under oath. Knirsch previously worked at Porsche and then Audi's electrification division. He left Audi's EV efforts behind in early 2015.
