Olympia, Washington, United States
|
Thanks for checking out my Turn Key 72 Bay Window Bus, It's ready to hit the highway for a road trip! Everything has been gone through on this bus! All new electrical wiring, and
fuel system replaced, as well now has a low mile (30k) 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine
purchased from Quality German Auto Parts, they are a direct importer of VW replacement parts. . This is the highly sought
after AAZ engine code. Has completely rebuilt and tuned Bosch
injection pump, as well as new Bosch fuel injector nozzles, all pop
tested and ready for a long service life. Also worth mentioning, new
alternator has about a year on it, but only about 1500 miles of driving, changed Timing Belt, and tensioner at pump
install, new battery, new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel/ pilot bearing, new tires, brakes are great, new seals about a
year ago, all of the doors open and close really smooth and nice. I
also have 2 new black vinyl seat covers for front seats, that are not
installed, but included. Now that we finally have a break from the rain
coming for a couple days here, Ill get better pictures, and a lot more of
them. this is the only diesel bus I know of, and using all Factory Vw
engine/bellhousing/transmission/flywheel, no cheesy adapter plates of
any kind. Has all new Torqu Flo electric cooling fan, with temp switch,
nice AutoMeter boost gauge, engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs
awesome, get stopped everywhere I go in it now. Best part is an easy
veggie burner conversion, and can help with that if paid in full. Only
selling after all of this work due to changing careers and raising funds
for start up. Thanks for checking it out. Oh, and gets about 35 miles
a gallon in town, and am going to be driving it this week while its
nice and going to get a recorded highway mileage average too. I don't drive it in the rain. Would be a perfect
cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me
know if your interested. Sorry again for current pics, I will get more
soon. Engine bay was all sanded and primed,
sanded again, and painted white/black, and has reflective backed wool sound
deading material on the underside of the rear deck to keep the clickity
clackity to the tailpipe and not in the cab, very quiet inside as normal. These engines came stock in VW Golfs, Jetta's, Passats, and many more, and have been a very popular swap in Vanagons, and many light 4x4 Conversions. Not hard to see why, with there great fuel mileage, and longevity, many on the road with over 300k miles on them and running perfect. I have done over a dozen diesel conversions, and as you can see, I keep everything as simple as possible, and tastefully clean. The floors are solid, and look new under the rubber floor mat, overall a really nice van, there are minor paint imperfections that you can notice up close, but just normal rock dings or what have ya. Nothing major by all means, but do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen, but definitely an above average nice cruiser. Also, has all new wood slat luggage rack installed.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
