1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Campmobile Van Camper 3-door 2.1l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
I can't believe the day has come that I am posting my van for sale. And if you are looking for one, I hope you have found this.
I am selling my 1987 volkswagen vanagon gl westfalia camper van! I don't know where to begin with this and hopefully you know a thing or two about these vans. This van is the ultimate adventure/camping/recreational vehicle. It is a 4 speed manual van. It has a sink, a stove, and a fridge. It has two beds (pop top), many different closets and compartments, and an incredible sound system. Etc Etc Etc. There is too much to write about. I am the second owner of this van. I bought it from the lady who used to sell me donuts as a kid. Her husband passed away and the van was never used, so my family and I offered to buy it. I bought it with 60,000 miles on it, and it now has 151,400. I have loved this van dearly for the last ten years, and I almost can't believe I'm putting it up for sale. I have traveled all over north america in my van. Many, many camping adventures, countless festivals, tailgates, and even provided me with a place to live on a few different occasions. This van is full of unlimited potential, and it really can change your life. Or at least add to it. I moved a few years ago and registered the van non-op and stored it for 2 years. Since then I have moved back re-registered it, currently registered until sept 2015, and with many hopes of doing more camps and adventures, I have not. With a change in jobs (location) the van has turned into my daily driver. I put the last 50k miles on it without any big trips. And that is not what this van is made for. And with not sight of adventures in the near future, I decided its time to sell it. I want to sell it to someone who will put it to it's proper use. A most importantly, a great loving home. I have cherished this van and treated it very well. The first thing you will notice is how well it drives. It is a very smooth car and it will put a smile on your (and others) face. You will also notice the sound system. I have a sony deck, and all new speakers, and an 8" powered subwoofer under the rear seat. Any type of music you listen to sounds incredible! You can also plug a dvd player into the deck and have full surround sound as you lay in bed. I would love for you to take a drive and see how great this van is. Over the last ten years I have obviously done some work to this van. And you should assume you will too. Last thing I did was replace the steering rack (3 weeks ago), the power steering is smooth as silk now. When registering after non-op I replaced the catalytic converter, new muffler, and had an overall tune up. All work has been done by the fantastic people at Tassi Inc here in Daly City. It also passes smog with no problems. The things you will look at replacing or fixing soon depends on your priorities and plans. As of April, the passenger side power window motor went out. (for the second time!) But this is not bad news. I would highly recommend changing to manual windows. For one, the motors go out, but most importantly, when you are camping or anything, it becomes a huge hassle to get keys, turn on van, then roll a window up/down. I can replace this if it is a big selling point. There has almost always been some type of oil or coolant leak, but nothing that ever raised any red flags. There is a small crack in the head that I've just been "gluing" the seals and consistently adding more coolant/oil. If you are planning on a big trip, or running the van pretty hot, I would replace the head. If you replace it, you might as well do the clutch at the same time to save on labor. The clutch is fine now, but I replaced it about 7 years ago, so it wouldn't hurt. There is normal wear and tear, scratches and what not, but no rust, straight body etc. If you have any questions, please email or call or text me. I would love to answer anything you want to know. I am in no hurry to sell this van, but if you are interested please let me know. I am looking for a decent price, and a good home, so if you think you want to make this incredible addition to you (or your families) life, please inquire. please call for more info and pictures! Thank you for your time. Brandon |

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.

VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
