Volkswagen Bus/vanagon 1970 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Abbeville, Louisiana, United States
|
I have a 1970 blue and white German Westfalia vw van ,that I had intentions of doing a frame off restoration but decided that I had to many other projects going on, the van is in restorable shape. The engine runs and the brakes work . The owner before me looks like they put a new carburetor on it and seems to run fine and doesn’t smoke. Gear shifter a little sloppy but shifts in all gears. There is rust around the top of the van on the edge of rain drip rail that is noticeable but doesn’t go through and through . There is rust through on the front bumper steps on the both sides missing rubber foot plates. Right bottom front door on the body there is rust through .There is rust though on the floor in three places on the rear cabin area ,one goes through and the others are slight and being to go through. The sliding door doesn’t slide very well and doesn’t line up. Not sure if its just the plastic and bearing guide or the rear slider hinge. The folding top seems to work well, needs new canvas. Rear hatch latch doesn’t open . Seems lock is frozen. Rear engine hatch opens with a hard pull seems hinges are worn. Seems back of van was repainted and some body work was done , doesn’t look like the van was ever wrecked but at one time someone tried to make it look better. The inside over head interior is gone on the front half of the van. The original overhead is in the rear half. The camper interior is complete in the back . The two interior peaces behind the driver and passenger seats is missing. Not sure what goes there . it seems that a folding chair goes behind the driver seat and a sink and fold out table goes behind the passenger seat . Haven’t researched what the options were in 1970. Anyway , its missing except bottom cushion of seat behind driver seat .The electrical system is in place seems about half doesn’t work ,not sure what works and doesn’t work. Glass is all intact but all rubber needs replacing for a rebuild. Broken mirror on passenger door. I know I’ve painted a grim picture of this van but I’ve wanted to give you all the details that I can see. In my younger days I’ve redone quite a few frame off rebuilds and this is prime for a rebuild. I found out there are many places to get parts and new sheet metal if needed and the prices are really reasonable I’m not like I used to be and things for me are a lot slower. I work full time as a helicopter mechanic and on my days off I mess around with motorcycles and I’m building a camp and on top of that. My wife came down with an illness and she’s doing better. As I said I’ve got too many irons in the fire. If you would like more pictures or ask any questions please contact me and I will be happy to get back to you . thank you ted |

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
