Year:1991 Mileage:246709
Location:

Mansfield, Ohio, United States

Mansfield, Ohio, United States

This is my personal van that I've poured tons of money and time into in the last few years.  It's a very reliable machine and has been modified fairly tastefully as far as these go.  I've driven this all over my state and rehabbed most of the things that break over their years of owner neglect.  I will not sell to anyone outside of the continental United States.  I will not assist with any form of shipping at all.  The winning bidder must deposit 500.00 via PayPal with the remainder due in person upon pick-up of the vehicle.

1991 vanagon carat in pastel white interior excellent shape with no staining on the upholstery.  The rear mattress has a small cigarette burn and the slider door card is missing -all else is in great shape.  The interior was removed before pergo was laid down to give a finished "wall to wall" look.  Dash is perfect with no cracking, all gauges work as intended.  Oil temp and pressure gauges are added to the lower dash to aid in engine monitoring.

Stereo-Sony iPod ready head unit with custom door enclosures housing 5-1/4 and 4" speakers along with relocating the window switches.  Everything now works as intended.  Door window switches roll the windows up as intended without having to do the gowesty mod (I disliked it).  New 4" speakers are located in the rear factory locations and Sony 6x9" are located in the hatch.  The stereo now has eight total speakers and everything stays with the van.

Brakes-fronts are Mercedes sl500 2 piston calipers with vented rotors.  This involves a stud conversion kit so no more wheel bolts up front.  Rotors are @60mm oversized 16"wheels are necessary for this van. Stopping power is excellent.
Rears are eurovan discs.  This solid disc uses a caliper actuated parking brake that holds great. All brake parts have @. 4000miles on them and are still practically new.  

Wheels/tires-wheels are audi a4 16" alloys these have been properly machined to fit.  Proper length press fit rear studs and threaded front studs were bought to make these a safe fitment.  Tires are cooper rst 60,000 mile tires 98t load just purchase from sears in June.  These are also nearly new.

Suspension steering-new shocks, upper a-arm bushings, ball joints, used Westy springs to lift 2", new inner tie rods, new outer tie rods, rebuilt rack and pinion, aligned 6/30/2013, new power steering lines, new rear wheel bearings (zerked), new cv boots packed.

Transmission-gasket kit this trans is a cleaned and inspected unit that has been resealed from a donor with 151,000miles on it.  It was very clean inside no metal.  A 1990 trans that does not hack e the defective 3/4 slider issues.  Used trans installed with new clutch, synthetic fluid, machined flywheel. 

Engine-new gowesty billet thermostat housing, stainless water pump pipe, stainless oil cooler pipes, coolant hose kit,  new injectors, new belts, new tune up kit, new oil sensors, new o2sensor.  Runs very well oil pressure and temps are kept within range . Just a strong running stock water boxer.  This has vw heads on it (not amc) but there are obvious signs of a reseal being done on it.  I've run it for 2000 miles and bee impressed,the previous engine owner stated it was rebuilt within the last 80k.

Hvac-new rear heater core, front blower motor, a/c drier and expansion valve.

Things that don't work-
Rear hatch and slider central lock motors do not activate.  Both fronts do.  I never looked into anything else further to pick it apart.  Extra central locking parts come with it.  Cruise control is sketchy.  Sometimes it kicks out on you. Those are the knowns. 

I have been all over this van.   I just can't put any more money into it.  Bottom line is I have too many projects and I have to cut my losses. Winning bidder gets my receipts for over 4000.00 that I can account for along with two previous owners worth of documentation.

 Please only bid if you have the money and means to come get this.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, Jul 23 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once – especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015. The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well. For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan – both long rumored to be on their way out – will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment. Meanwhile the Routan, which hasn't actually been built in over a year, is finally dead, as VW confirms it has dropped the Chrysler-built minivan from its lineup for 2015 altogether. The German automaker has also confirmed that the Touareg is getting a facelift early in the new year, which we expect will closely follow the revisions revealed a few months ago ahead of the Beijing Motor Show. Finally VW has announced an upgrade to its 2.0-liter TDI. Fitted to the Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle, the updated diesel gets 10 more horsepower with output now up to 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Scope out the full list of announcements in the press release below. MODEL YEAR 2015: NEW GOLF FAMILY, REDESIGNED JETTA, AND NEW TDI® CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE HEAD THE CHANGES Jul 22, 2014 In a busy year, Volkswagen will also add a new Golf SportWagen, an all-new Golf R, a redesigned Touareg SUV, and the company's first U.S.-market EV, the e-Golf - All-new Golf is bigger, lighter, and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, seats five, and has a larger trunk than any midsize sedan - New Golf GTI has 210-horsepower engine, with improved fuel efficiency and performance - e-Golf is Volkswagen's first full Battery Electric Vehicle for sale in the U.S.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
