1985 Volkswagen Vanagon
1.6L NA Diesel w/ AC & Power Steering
These components together are EXTREMELY RARE! If you know your Vanagons then you know this is a hard to find vehicle. You will never find a van like this starting at this low bid price!
Please read the full description before making your bid.
You are about to bid on a nice daily driver Vanagon that has been taken care of very well. I bought this van with the diesel engine conversion and improved it to include the air conditioning, power steering, and much, much more. The vehicle has 205,000 miles but the engine only has 75,000 miles. The engine is a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated diesel with a manual glow. I have changed the oil in this engine every 3-5000 miles and replaced fuel and air filters every 10,000 miles. The engine does not leak and starts EVERY TIME. This is probably the best engine VW every put in its cars. If you keep the oil fresh it will run foreverrrrr! It has a NEW injection pump installed 10/2012 (the injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine). This van runs at 25-30 MPG with the AC running! The other day I got 26.8 MPG running around town with the AC running all the time. On the highway in the winter you'll get 30 MPG no problem. On the highway you can cruise at 60-65 MPH all day long. Actually, the wife and I took it to Maine and back last year!
Mechanically, it has had just about everything replaced in the last 18 months except the front end and suspension. I had Tucson's best Vanagon mechanic at Stuttgart Autohaus do almost all the work on this van with reciepts to prove it. Gary at Stuttgart has replaced the camshaft, accelerator cable, transmission, timing belt, valve cover, fuel tank w/ fuel lines, alternator, AC compressor, AC lines, AC dryer, and power steering pump. The braking system has had a make over too. I took out the front dash to have a professional replace the power brake booster, master cylinder, and slave cylinder. Meanwhile, I replaced the heater fan, heater valve, all the dash lights, radio antenna, and put in a modern CD player w/ USB port. This van has had ALL tires replaced with Yokohama Y356 load rated for Vanagons (very important) on 5/31/2012.
The exterior was repainted some years ago by a professional. I also had a heavy duty custom hitch made by Vanagon hitch maker Dennis Haynes. There are only two fabricators of heavy duty Vanagon hitches in the USA and Dennis is on of them. This hitch is rated to take the full load capacity of the Vanagon.
The interior has had an extensive make over. The previous owner sold it to me without any seats or heater in the rear of the van. I sourced the original middle seat and folding back sofabed but did not replace the rear heater since it was never needed. The curtains are custom made and I sourced the curtain rods from Europe specifically for the hard top Vanagons. All of the interior panels are re-fabricated with custom upholstery except the back 3 panels around the engine compartment. Underneath all the panels are noise and vibration reducers to keep the interior quieter on the highway. Gary and I also took down the overhead AC unit, resealed it and repainted it black for aesthetics. Air condition blows COLD and will cool down the van even in Tucson's 106 degree heat. However, do your research for old Vanagon AC systems. They are factory installed and notorious as not the best nor the hardest blowing units every designed. This is the original AC system that has been resealed and repainted. The old carpeting of the Vanagon is under Lloyd's custom floor mats throughout the driver and passenger areas of the Vanagon floor. I also bought a custom cut dash cover to go over the heat cracked dash board.
This is an ARIZONA car with absolutely NO RUST. However, as with most Vanagons, there are some imperfections. The paint on the roof is fading and the gloss is peeling. The front passenger seat has a rubber cement stain. Some of the rear passenger seat belts are missing. The front washer tank is missing. The coolant light is blinking without any apparent mechanical reason (probably an electrical issue). Sometimes the AC fan needs a tap to get started. The rear fold down seat is not original and was sourced from another van with grey interior, however it functions perfectly. Also, as seen in the photos, there is a small dent in the rear drivers side corner that can be easily fixed at a good body shop. The RPMs do not read as it requires a special connector on the alternator that I never needed. Finally, the spare tire is not a Yokohama.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
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.
