If you have been looking for an extremely rare vintage VW (25 years old this year), you have found it.

Not a Weekender, not a Wesfalia, not a 7 passenger, but one that I have never seen (until this one) - a 6 passenger Wolfsburg edition. Yep, 3 rows of bucket seats! Could this be the holy grail of Vanagons?

According to the previous owner, this setup is a factory option only available in Germany. I have done a bit of research, but could not find any information. It is way cool, and very professional, and everything about it indicates it is a factory job. All 3 rows of bucket seats are the same style/fabric, and each has its own "pillow" insert for the headrest (factory VW with part numbers). While the front two seats do not rotate (like a Westy), the second row does (360 degrees). The third row reclines and can be raised/lowered. On the driver's side between the 2nd and 3rd row there is a retracting table and fluorescent light. There are really cool storage compartments built in on the outside of the back row of seats.

The body does have some rust, but is mostly solid. Nose is peppered with stone chips that have surface rust, step pads have rust, driver's side wheel well has rust, and hatch is rusted through. Underside is very solid. The interior is overall clean and in good condition, but there are cigarette burns on the driver's seat, carpet and dash (by ash tray); this must have been a long time ago, as there is no foul smell or residual odor. Some light stains throughout, but all in all a clean interior. All of the glass is intact, and all of the lights work. Bumpers are cracked. A/C ductwork needs to be reinstalled (all pieces are there). Headliner is perfect. Factory owner's manual, jack, and skeleton key.

The 2.1 wasserboxer runs well (receipt for rebuilt heads), the automatic transmission shifts smooth, and the van drives nice. The engine compartment is a bit dirty/grimy, but there are no puddles under the van, so nothing appears to be leaking (and all fluids are topped off). The cruise control works, and it has factory A/C (not tested). The tires are in good condition (2 matching pairs) and mounted to factory 14" alloy wheels. There are some extra parts that come with the bus too.

It has power windows (passenger side is not currently working; extra switch included), power steering and power brakes. The interior cabin fan does not turn on (suspect a bad switch; replacement switch included). The Odometer is not working (reads 175,511), so true mileage is unknown. Gas gauge is also not working. Fuel gauge, temperature gauge, speedometer, idiot lights and even the clock are working, as is the factory AM/FM Cassette player.

If you have any questions or information about this rare Vanagon setup, please contact me (Kevin) via email through this listing or calling 616-581-8815.

Bosch fuel pumps spark recall of 2015 Golf, GTI and Audi A3

Tue, Apr 28 2015

A few weeks ago, BMW and Nissan both issued recalls for some of their vehicles to replace Bosch-supplied fuel pumps. The pumps had nickel plating that could flake off and cause a failure. Volkswagen Group is the latest automaker to be affected by the problem and has a campaign for the 2015 Audi A3, VW Golf and GTI. In total, 6,204 units of these models are in need of repair. The problem with the VW Group vehicles is identical to the previous recalls. It's possible for the pump's nickel plating to come off and cause increased friction. Eventually, this can result in the component's failure. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), there are no reports of accidents or injuries from this issue in the VW Group models. Bosch spokesperson Linda Beckmeyer tells Autoblog that these vehicles don't all necessary share an identical fuel pump, but the parts all use the same plating process. The problem also prompted repairs of the 2014 Ford Escape several months ago, she indicated. When asked if the issue could prompt more campaigns, Beckmeyer said that she "can't speak to that" because automakers decide on the recalls. Owners should receive notice of the problem soon, but according to the NHTSA documentation, there currently aren't enough pumps to fix all of these vehicles. "Bosch is working closely with automakers regarding replacement parts," Beckmeyer said. When available, dealers will replace the components free of charge for affected customers.

SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing. CONSEQUENCE: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps, free of charge.

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
