1991 Volkswagon Vanagon , Vw Bus, Gl , Almost No Rust Imaculate Orginal Interior on 2040-cars
|
The bus was my daily driver until I listed it on ebay. It was sold on ebay and unregistered and i had the insurance removed, However the wining bidder didn't pay and ignored all contact so now it up for auction again.
The question I have recived most often is would I get in and drive it 5-6 states away and back. The answer is yes. It has never let me down since I owned it. The bus has been sitting for 10 days now with only two starts for 3 minutes. Mileage is currently 145,066 , it has no frame rust and only minimal rust in the usual Vanagon areas. It is though almost rust free. The interior vynil floor is a beautiful addition to this bus and looks great. The paint is orginal butthe clear coat has faded and is peeling in spots. The clear coat is long gone from the roof. The bus is in great shape and even though it is not a showroom condition, everything is unmanipulated. The Bus was owned by a local church for a very long time. Through the previous auctions I was informed the interior is not orginal to the year. However I am not a VW expert and have listed this bus to the best of my capabilities. VIN# WV2YB0259MG001135 New Parts: It has new Fuel injectors Fresh Transmission Service New Transmission Pan Gasket New Transmission Filter. New Ignition New Bosch Fuel Regulator New/Rebuild Airflow Meter. New Battery New Wiper Blades in the front. New Fuel Pump New Pre Pump Filter New Main Fuel Filter New Temp2 Sensor New Spark Plugs Brand New Window Tint. ( If its illegal in your state it will be easy to take off as it is so new. But again it took me 8 hours to get the 15 year old tint off. It looks much better now. It has LED Light Strip installed that just needs to be hard wired. Changes Colors and goes to the music has a remote as well so you can light up the whole bus now. I did reground the bus and cleaned off all ground connections and made new clean connections. The sale will include a few parts including another AFM these are valued at $200 - $350 each There is also a Computer im including but its from an earlier bus that does not work with this one (perhaps sell it and make 100 Buxs), A known to be working used Fuel regulator a few belts, a used but known working fuel pump and used but working spare coil. I keep these parts under the rear bench because you never know. Known Issues. The O2 sensor is not connected Windshield has a crack, Antenna is Bent/Broken AC was bypassed when I bought it PO stated the clutch was loud but was still working. Power Steering was also bypassed by PO because it had a small leak on the front rack. Both items have been left as is since i have owned the bus. Cruise Control never used lever on steering column seems as if it is disconnected. but all components are intact and present. |

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line
Tue, Sep 12 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.
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.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
