It's a valve adjustment or something simpler like that. The engine runs nice. On Aug-26-14 at 07:13:17 PDT, seller added the following information: I'm going to answer a few questions people asked insteading of replying to each one. How much body work does it need? As far as I know,( and I have had a magnet all over it) it needs a new nose and a new sliding door if you can't patch the door on the bottom. On the drivers side there is rust along the trim in the middle of the bus. There is normal bus rust along the windows and small little specs of rust here and there on the body. No major rust at all. I described and showed all the rust I know about to the best of my ability. I'm not a mechanic. Please come and see yourself or ask for specific pictures before bidding if you need more clarification. Are the rockers rusted? The rockers are good as far as I know. The sliding door is rusted. What is the reserve? The reserve is $8000. Can it drive cross country? It has already. Multiple times with it's previous owner. I have the receipts for it's new owner to keep as part of her history. I have owned it for about three years and drove it only on the weekends. It has been reliable. I've also had to change out the clutch cable in a parking lot and various other unexpected things that come up with a bus. I have a half-decent amount of VW knowledge and a whole bunch of mechanical people to help me. I just haven't had the time to fully restore this bus. If you are the auction winner and within a few hours drive of this location you can pick it up come and drive it back with a buddy. Get AAA because it is a 37 year old vehicle for a serious hobby or VW enthusiast not for those that don't know how to drive the 4 speed manual transmission and properly take care of her. If you are farther, arrange for shipping of some kind. The vehicle needs some finishing touches on all components before I would feel comfortable using it as as a second home on a road trip. For those who have owned or own VW's you know this is all standard VW knowledge. Does it have air and heat? Yes. It has windows you can roll down. Right now there are no door panels so rolling down the windows takes a certain amount of finesse. Heat. No, not really. Are you sure you want a VW bus? The new Kia's have heat, air, and a 100,000 warranty. This bus has a lot of character yet you don't drive a bus for the heating and air conditioning. It's part lifestyle and part insanity. Why am I selling it? Educational expenses for my kid. There's no other reason I would sell this awesome bus if not for that. |

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
Volkswagen completes design work on new EV platform
Tue, Jan 10 2017Volkswagen has completed the design work for its modular, MEB platform that's geared specifically for electric-vehicle production, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments Volkswagen development head Frank Welsch made at CES in Las Vegas last week. Additionally, VW's Skoda and Seat divisions may use that platform for their own plug-in vehicle models. VW's Audi division is also considering employing the platform, though adoption by Volkswagen's Porsche unit is unlikely. VW expects to start selling its first model specifically designed as an EV (i.e., not converted from existing conventional models such as the Golf and Up!) by 2020. Welsch added that the MEB platform may be used as a base for updated electrified versions of Golf, Tiguan, and Passat. Meanwhile, Skoda will debut as many as five plug-in models by 2025. Europe's largest automaker is looking to further distance itself from the 2015 scandal that involved software that cheats diesel-emissions testing efforts and has cost the company more than $15 billion in US settlements alone. All told, VW and its divisions expect to debut as many as 30 plug-in vehicle models within the next decade. Volkswagen unveiled its I.D. concept vehicle, which is based on the MEB platform and looks somewhat like the BMW i3 electric-vehicle model, at last year's Paris Motor Show. VW said at the time that the vehicle could go as far as 373 miles on a single charge. Additionally, VW will show off an electric SUV concept model at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, and is unveiling a microbus version of the I.D. concept at the Detroit Auto Show this month.
