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. 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, and EGT gauge, temp gauge, engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs
awesome, get stopped everywhere I go in it. 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. Would be a perfect
cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me
know if your interested. 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, there is a small spot on the drivers side middle under the windows that had a stick on decal of sorts, and peeled up a litt, Just do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen, but definitely a way above average nice cruiser. Also, has all new wood slat luggage rack installed. It Does not have A/C, I got a lot of questions about that before. Email with any questions and will get right back to you.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
