This descriptionvery extensive: 1990 AWD VW SYNCRO VANAGON
WESTFALIA POPUP CAMPER with 3.3 liter
240hp SVX SUBARU CONVERSION FULL RESTORATION This is it, a Westfalia that will climb hills effortlessly and 4 wheel off road. Conversion and restoration accomplished the Baker Brothers at WWW.Subagon.com Subaru SVX Motor Conversion (imported from Japan). This link http://subagon.com/best/bobs-1990-syncro-westy-svx/ features my 1990 AWD Syncro on their website. I was riding my motorcycle, and a driver ran a stop sign and T-Boned me, I have had, 3 foot operations, 2 knee operations, and 4 back fusions, so I find myself unable to camp out as I used to. Because of this I am being forced to sell my “Syncro”.
Mr. Joe Baker at www.subagon.com can tell you about this and verify the value of this Westy is more than the price I am asking. You can have them build one, and wait, and getting Syncro AWD 4WD is going to take a while or be very costly if you are in a hurry. They were extremely limited in production, and very few imported into USA. Canada and Mexico have some. Importing and paperwork is a hassle. Here are the facts about this Syncro. Conversion costs around $25k if you can broker a good deal. No wimpy gutless, sluggish powerless van. This will climb mountains with ease. Call or text Mr. Joe Baker at 9530 227-2610) or email him at joeb@joebaker.net . He was the contact at Subagon.com that brokered this contract for me. His brother is not aware I am selling this so Joe will be your best contact for info. He is also on the road a lot lately so be patient on text/email replies.

Power plus Speed, Subaru Computer controlled. These conversions can be done for $30 to $50k if you find the right place and work a deal, around $30K if you do it yourself and have a working knowledge of conversions and the computers that run the engine. I have put about 9,0000 miles on this since the conversion, fixed some minor things like a new power steering pump, the A/C thermo-resistor replaced. There are some minor chips in the windshield. I will have this replaced upon non-refundable deposit $5k for contracted sale, or give you an allowance to replace we agree upon at final payment. The fuel gauge sometimes does not work (suspect bad sender), and I will also give you an allowance to fix this we agree upon. The plastic plate on the exterior Electrical cover disappeared (I suspect the spring broke and pin slipped out.) I will replace or give you the cost of the part and shipping allowance for this as well from Van Cafe. Nothing hidden or covered up, you are getting all the info. I have attempted to include everything here but, may have forgotten some items. ABOUT THE SVX CONVERSION: The conversion to the SVX engine and computer, mechanics, wiring, was contracted with SUBAGON.com in Redding California. Van was torn down, painted and restored with original parts, excluding the SVX upgrade and some minor items. The Subaru SVX computer was wired in and all wiring done to fully utilize all original VW functions. IMPORTANT ITEM IS when licensing and registering, THIS IS Still considered a regular car/van so
insurance is cheap, and your Homeowners association can’t stop you from parking
at your place as it will register as a regular car/van. Not considered
a conversion Van (Class B). This is a really nice plus if you have an HOA, and
I do and was not permitted to park an RV at my place. My costs for insurance,
license, registration and plates cheap (will show you receipts).The canvas in
the pop top is all new and works fine with no leaks. PopTop Has extra opening
for a window type view with mosquito netting in the canvass so sleepers in top
can see out. All poptop arms, mechanism new. Wired for 110v, external water,
external LPG. Inverter powered off gas mat deep cycle battery, so that all your
12v appliances and lights work on the battery and/or the inverter supplying
power in both 12v/110v. Switch behind seat to enable switching from external
110v to internal. Solar panel charges this entire system when parked. Add up
the costs for all this and you will see my price is for a quick sale, and beats
others at Go Westy and other places. Go to SUBAGON, do your build list price
then add the VW…. You will find that Mine has additional options and will cost
a lot more than the $72K price tag.
SALE PRICE IS $72k Terms: signed contract or EBAY sale, $5k down, as a non-refundable
deposit, $67K upon picking up vehicle, and these funds in cash or a cashier’s
check, postal money order(s) that will require you wait until it clears through
my bank (sorry). I am smart about scammers and so that is how it goes. No
paypal personal checks, credit cards, bitcoins as the scammers out there are
making it this way. I will accept funds transferred to one of my accounts, and
that my bank verifies. Must wait until my bank verifies, and that funds
transferred are legitimate and not part of a fraud/theft. Sorry, but this is
for everyone’s protection.
Contact me via this email “ 1990syncro@q.com
“ Your email that includes your full name (first & last), verifiable US postal address, verifiable phone number will be responded to. EBAY veriifiction a must: no scammers! I will not give out my phone # until I verify your info is
not that of a scammer. (Again, I need to weed out scammers, sorry for the
process). I will not give out VIN or other data till you are verified as a
genuine potential buyer. I could use ebay or other ways-but this will add
thousands to the cost.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen 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.
VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
