Unfortunately, I have to say goodbye to my beloved 1982 Volkswagen
Diesel Vanagon Westfalia camper. I'm returning to grad school and need a
city driver instead. But my loss can be your gain! When I bought her in
Florida a year and half ago, I became the third owner. Since then, I've
driven from coast to coast. Along the way I've put a lot of work into
it, both professionally and personally.
The engine is the original 1.6L Diesel with 48 horsepower, which runs well and as intended. It could easily and inexpensively be set-up for a biodiesel conversion. It could also easily be converted to a turbo with one of the plentiful VW 1.9L engines that would drop right into place. Currently the vehicle averages 25 mpg and tops out at 60-65 mph. In my experience, by avoiding the interstate, one can ride comfortably, affordably, and travel through country that is seldom seen. On your weekend get-a-way, the journey becomes a part of the destination. One of the photos (easier to appreciate in person) details all the work I had done by a vintage Volkswagen specialist in Phoenix. Here is a semi-complete list of repairs/replacements since I acquired the van: Radiator, Starter, Alternator, Battery, Muffler, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Glow Plugs, Belts, Relays, Thermostat, Shocks, Clutch Slave Cylinder, Wheel Cylinder, Heater Blower, Poptop Seal, LED Dash Lights, Speaker, 12V Charger, Shift Bushings, Lines/Hoses. Considering its age, I think the van is in very good shape. I focused primarily on mechanical issues in my repairs, and the van runs well today as a result. There are a few cosmetic issues that remain. There are small superficial spots of rust scattered over the body. In the center of the front bumper is the only significant rust that goes through (pictured). Never could understand why that one spot was so vulnerable. One portion of a cabinet was cut out by a previous owner. It's missing one of the L-bars for one of the tables, and a cover that connects the heater to the floor vents (pictured). The front top grille needs to be replaced. The canvas for the pop-top has a couple of small tears. The original top bed has been replaced with a cushion set-up that works nicely. I believe those are all of the flaws. Overall, she's a beaut. Even has the ice cube trays and working original radio/tape player! The mileage is approximate because it's a replacement odometer. But the previous owner had the decency to write the mileage from the original on the back of the current (both pictured). Included with your purchase is the Bentley Repair Manual and an assortment of original manuals (pictured). In an attempt to be as transparent as possible, I've included the CARFAX report.

Despite EV push, Audi will lead hydrogen for VW Group
Thu, Mar 10 2016The cynics among us will assume that Volkswagen Group would rather not affix its flagship brand name to its main hydrogen fuel-cell efforts in the wake of that German automaker's diesel-emissions scandal. Instead, there's less of a taint in having those efforts led by VWs Audi division. And that's exactly what's going to happen, reportedly. Audi will lead Volkswagen's way towards selling hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles to the general public, Automotive News Europe reports, citing comments Audi's new development head Stefan Knirsch recently made at VW headquarters in Germany. That first effort may come in the form of the H-Tron Quattro concept SUV that Audi unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January. That model is slated to have a 373-mile range on a full tank of hydrogen (using the optimistic European driving cycle) and includes a rooftop solar panel that can add 621 miles a year via sun rays. And true to Audi's performance-driving bent, the car will offer up to 282 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, for a 0-62 miles per hour time of under seven seconds. Audi will also look to cut production costs by reducing precious metals such as platinum in fuel-cell stacks. As for plug-in vehicles, Audi said at last November's Los Angeles Auto Show that as much as 25 percent of new Audis will be plug-in vehicles by 2025. A month later, Audi said that the A3 E-Tron, which was launched in Europe in late 2014, was already accounting for a quarter of Audi sales in the Netherlands and Norway.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
