1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat Pastel White Lifted On 16's 4 Wheel Disc Brakes on 2040-cars
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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

Feds allege widespread Volkswagen cheating on clean-air rules
Fri, Sep 18 2015Volkswagen intentionally installed software in nearly a half-million diesel vehicles that helped the cars evade substandard results on emissions tests, the federal government charged Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to the German automaker, saying the company's software broke the law by violating two provisions in the Clean Air Act. Circumventing the standards meant affected cars emitted as much as 40 times the allowable level of certain pollutants. Both the EPA and California Air Resources Board have launched investigations. In its notice of violations, the EPA said Volkswagen officials admitted to installing and concealing what they call a "defeat device," which was designed to detect when the cars were undergoing official emissions tests – and only turn on emissions controls during that time. "Our goal now is to ensure that the affected cars are brought into compliance, to dig more deeply into the extent and implications of Volkswagen's efforts to cheat on clean air rules, and to take appropriate further action," said Richard Corey, executive officer of CARB. The allegations cover approximately 482,000 vehicles sold in the United States over the past seven years. Cars involved include diesel versions of the Jetta, Beetle, Audi A3 and Golf manufactured between the 2009 and 2015 model years. Passats manufactured for the 2014 and 2015 model years are also included. Federal officials note there is no safety danger to motorists, but the cars will be recalled for repairs. If true, Volkswagen faces a fine that could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- likely higher than the $300 million charge the EPA levied last November at Hyundai and Kia for exaggerating the fuel-economy in several models. The charges also put a tremendous dent into the company's plans to increase sales of its "Clean Diesel" vehicles in North America. In a written statement, Volkswagen Group of America acknowledged it had received the notices from the EPA and CARB. "VW is cooperating with the investigation; we are unable to comment further at this time," it said. Federal officials said the defeat-device software was uncovered during an independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University, who in working with the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-governmental organization, raised questions about emissions levels.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
