Hello

 

We are new to eBay so I apologize for the low rating etc but if you have any questions please message me and I will get back to you. We have just done a 4000 mile road trip across Mexico with the vehicle and now we have to sell it fast as we are flying to europe soon.

 

This is a 1984 VW Transporter / Vanagon / Caravelle van. It has automatic transmission with the original VW/Audi transaxle sytem which is one of the best and most simplest transmission systems ever built. The van has the 2.1liter engine which gives it extra power and reliability and you will not need to do a Waterboxer or Subaru conversion as this little van just flies up any hill with no trouble at all.

 

It is in good running condition for the age of the vehicle and loads of new parts have only just been fitted by a company In Belize called VW-Belize. (check em out if you want) Brakes, tires, steering, ignition, fuel pump, fuel hoses, and filter, sensors, cooling system, suspension parts, starter motor are all brand new + more. The vehicle drives well and is in good overall functioning order. The van is located in Austin Texas and you can come and see and drive the vehicle any time. Just message me and we can meet up. .

 

NEW PARTS 2 upper Ball joints, 2 lower Ball joints, 1 Tie rod end, 1 Steering Rack Boot, 2 rear wheel brake cylinders + rebuild kit / hardware kit for drum brakes , 1 seal  for brake booster, 1 spark plug wire set, 1 fuel pump , 1 fuel filter, 1 high-pressure fuel hose, 1 master cylinder , 1 Ignition Switch , 1 water temp sensor , 1 brake caliper, 1 set of front brake pads, rear brake pads,  1 set of front brake hoses, 1 fan switch, 1 thermostat housing, 1 thermostat, 1 thermostat gasket set, 1 crankcase breather hose, new starter motor, Ball joints, 2 caliper rebuild kit, break hardware-kit, 2 hatch struts . The brakes have been bled and flushed the cooling system and radiator has been flushed and the thermostat works, the fan comes on automatically as it is supposed to, welding work has been done on wheel arches, column, fender and front panel. The fuel tank has been dropped and washed out and the rubber seals replaced. All work carried out by VW-Belize and receipts for parts and labor available.

 

When I bought the vehicle it was a non runner. We have now travelled with the van over 4000 miles from Belize to Austin Texas and it runs really well. We have a video of the whole trip so you can see the van in action.

 

The interior is a bit rough. The back seats are in pretty good shape, the head lining is in very good shape, but the carpet is covered in stains ( I managed to spill my coffee 4 times during the trip. Yes. 4 times) and the front passenger seat is in pretty poor shape and the drivers side is worse. They are all very comfortable though an I had no problem during the 4000 mile trip even after 6 -7 hours of driving.

 

The body work over all is not bad. There are a few minor dings and dents in it and the paint job is not a professional one and close up you can see some runs in the paint and the old VW stickers show though the blue paint. The bumpers have had a knock or two and one of the tail lights is a little broken as is one of the front indicator lights. Still road legal though.

 

Known problems. The brakes squeal. They are brand spanking new and work very well and are very strong but they squeal, When we set of on the trip I thought they would stop squealing after a few hundred miles but they are still making noise. I have had the wheels off but I can not find any thing wrong. I am sure your local VW repair place can fix this in two shakes of a lambs tail. The fuel gauge does not work. The speedometer works fine as does the temp gauge but the odometer stopped ticking over about 11000miles ago and I have not been able to fix it. The engine will tend to stall when still cold and the idle is a little rough. I think it needs a new oxygen sensor. (around $80.00 I think) Nothing much but you will need to get this fixed. It always starts first time. Please bear in mind that this van is 30 years old and has lots of little things wrong with it but it is a good solid van that can be driven all day every day, on the highway and in the city, paved and un paved roads. All the essential electrics work fine ( wipers lights etc) but none of the interior lights work.

 

We may be able to deliver the vehicle to you. We have carried out all checks with the DMV and I can sell you this van and you can get a title in your name no problem.

 

Any questions please message me.

 

Cheers

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own – was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.
