1971 Volkswagen 'WALK-THRU' Bus....I'm listing this vehicle for a friend. She's an older lady that bought it about 15 years ago, drove it for about a year and parked it in a covered carport at her home. From what I can see this is an all original bus, except the radio. Overall condition of the body is very good (never been cut). No major dents (and very few small ones, if any at all), sliding door is in good working condition, deck lid and rear hatch open and close with no problems, both driver and passenger doors open and close with no problems, windows roll up & down,  side windows open & close, all glass in good, original condition. Tires are good, stock steel rims with hubcaps...this van has the fold-up bed, fold-up table. The interior is all original, all vinyl in good condition (rear seat vinyl is good, it's just covered with blanket - sorry). Original wood panel headliner fair condition...dashboard is good, has a radio (not stock). As far as I know all electrical works. Good battery...brakes are good, e-brake good transmission is good...As you are aware, if your a Volkswagen person, almost every Volkswagen has some rust issues....some are very rusty, and some have very little rust. I looked this bus over (body and frame)
floors are very solid, front end (nose) is good (might have emblem) and with just minor surface rust...this one is very solid, with very little rust!  Now about the motor...it's a 1600 duel port, standard engine...it does run, however it hesitates. She took it to the local Bugformance (in San Jose) and they noted on her paperwork that the distributor vacuum pod not correct ...recommend fresh air hoses. Not sure of exact mileage, odometer reads: 58048.0 She has the receipts for recent work done. This bus is currently registered and insured, pink slip is clear. Please review all pictures....if you have any questions, or would like a picture of a particular area please email me. My name is Bruce and you are welcome to call my cell number 408 317 8076. If your local and would like to see the bus, please call for an appointment. And to be clear, this bus is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS.  Overseas buyers welcome, east coast buyers welcome. Once you have made contact with a shipper I will be available to meet and assist your shipper. Bottom line: this is a nice original bus - good luck bidding!

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Fri, 18 Dec 2009

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Coronavirus prompts VW to stop production throughout Europe

Tue, Mar 17 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest carmaker, is suspending production at factories across Europe as the coronavirus pandemic hits sales and disrupts supply chains, the company said on Tuesday. The German carmaker, which owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda brands, also said that uncertainty about the fallout from coronavirus meant it was impossible to give forecasts for its performance this year. "Given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants, production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group brands," Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday. Volkswagen's powerful works council concluded it was not possible for workers to maintain a safe distance from each other to prevent contagion and recommended a suspension of production at its factories from Friday. Production will be halted at VW's Spanish plants, in Setubal in Portugal, Bratislava in Slovakia and at the Lamborghini and Ducati plants in Italy before the end of this week, Diess said. Most of its other German and European factories will prepare to suspend production, probably for two to three weeks, while Audi said separately it would halt output at its plants in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. Volkswagen's vast factories in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Puebla, Mexico, and plants in Brazil were not affected, but that would depend on how the coronavirus spreads, VW said. Volkswagen has 124 production sites worldwide of which 72 are in Europe, with 28 in Germany alone. "2020 will be a very difficult year. The coronavirus pandemic presents us with unknown operational and financial challenges. At the same time, there are concerns about sustained economic impacts," Diess said.   Production in China resumes Volkswagen Group sold 10.96 million vehicles last year, putting it ahead of Toyota based on the latest figures from the Japanese carmaker. Globally, VW employs 671,000 people and it delivered 4.86 million vehicles to European customers in 2019. Only last month the car and truck maker based in Wolfsburg, Germany, predicted that vehicle deliveries this year would match 2019 sales and forecast an operating return on sales in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. "The spread of coronavirus is currently impacting the global economy. It is uncertain how severely or for how long this will also affect the Volkswagen Group.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
