I recently got this Vanagon from the original owners (buyer will be legal second owner).
It had been sitting for a few years, and fuel lines had dried up and cracked.
I replaced fuel filter and small portion of lines, slapped a new battery in, and it fired up!
But...it doesnt want to stay running. I also replaced cap, rotor, all plugs, and cleaned the throttle body.

Now it doesnt want to start again either...it cranks, but seems to not be getting fuel it needs to fire.
Im pretty sure the injectors need a good cleaning and it needs timing, and it should be purring in no time.

This is a watercooled engine, not aircooled.
The original owners gave me some receipts, but not an extensive amount.
They did have the engine replaced, and this one has around 60,000 miles from their recollection.
I put a set of ok tires on the original 14" steelies, and all 4 original hubcaps are stored inside the bus.
The interior definitely shows its age, but would surely be usable with a good cleaning. It is actually cleaning up nicely, but some wear to the seats and carpet.

I put basic seat covers on the front seats for now. Dash is really nice. Couple knobs missing, etc, but minor things.
I havent opened sunroof (oh yeah, its a sunroof model!) because the handle seems brittle. Owners said it was operational. Paint on the outside of the sunroof is actually covered in surface rust (this must be common for these).

98% original paint that is polishing out pretty well. Rear passenger quarter panel had a small repair with repaint, thats it.
I am not really making money on this, i just need to get some of my money back to pay for engine work on my other car.

No back fees due to DMV, but does need smog and transfer before sticker issued.

I have the signed original pinkslip from original owners and dmv papers stating all fees paid recently. Buyer will be 2nd registered owner.
If not sold in this auction, its going in the shop for tune-up and smog...then price will go up substantially.

At close of auction, paypal deposit required.

Payment in full within 7days. Seller will store vehicle for 7days at no charge.

After 7days from auction closing, storage fees of $50 per day will be due at time of pickup.

*As stated above: vehicle will not stay running and will need to be towed.*

Location is in Clovis, CA 93612.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 Â– aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

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.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
