1968 Volkswagen Bus Camper Type 2 Westfalia This is a very original,
very clean, very complete 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia, it is in very good condition
and needs very little that we are aware of. It is an unrestored Pacific Northwest Survivor Very nice and featuring
all of its original camping gear, these are tough to find in this great of condition. It really does hearken
back to a simpler time and is an absolute blast to cruise around in. The paint appears shiny
and smooth with no large imperfections. The Orange main body paint is fresh and looks great. The interior looks to be
original and is in very good condition, no rips, tears or stains in the upholstery. It appears not to have any water leaks or damage from being outside too much. It also doesnt have any bad smells or seem to have been smoked in. The Pop-Top functions
great and the original upper cot is intact and functional. There is some
tearing in the canvas, as well as some stains, this is one of the few items I
would probably replace. The motor runs great, does
not smoke, starts well hot or cold, although it does leave a few drips of oil
on the ground as these usually do. It was rebuilt 36k miles ago, so I am sure it just needs some gaskets to seal it up. The tires are like new,
and the suspension is much improved over stock with large sway bars and quality
shocks. The suspension upgrades really make this bus drive much better than most. All bus's should have these upgrades, but they are expensive. The motor is a 1600cc single port with a Dual Weber ICT kit. Plus other upgrades like larger oil sump and ignition upgrades. The transmission shifts
as it great with a Scat shifter, linkage is tight and syncros are good. The
transmission was rebuilt by German Transaxle of America and features a 4.12
final drive. There is very little
rust to be found on this vehicle; I have included a picture of the right front
corner that has a small amount of rust present. This would be an easy repair, or not to worry about. This bus it appears to
have been garage kept and very, very well taken care of over the years. If you are in the market
for one of these charming old rigs, look no further, this is a great example.

VW recalls 25k Jettas over low-beam headlight issue
Wed, Dec 31 2014Volkswagen has discovered an issue with the headlamps on its latest Jetta and is issuing a recall notice in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to correct the issue. The problem revolves around the headlight control module, which has been found in certain instances to switch off the low-beam headlights when the high beams are turned on. Needless to say, that could result in insufficient illumination in the dark, so VW is moving to update the module's software. The issue only affects the new 2015 Jetta – specifically those manufactured between July 11, 2014 (which just happens to be this writer's birthday, thank you very much) and November 13, 2014. All in all, the Volkswagen Group of America estimates that encompasses 25,007 units in the United States, the owners of which can expect to hear from their dealers in the new year. RECALL Subject : Insufficient Headlight Output Report Receipt Date: DEC 15, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V790000 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING Potential Number of Units Affected: 25,007 All Products Associated with this Recall close VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2015 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured July 11, 2014, to November 13, 2014. Due to incorrect software within the headlight control module, the low beam headlights may turn off when high beam lights are turned on. As a result, the light output from the headlights may be insufficient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." CONSEQUENCE: Insufficient headlight output may increase the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the headlight control module software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 57F6. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
