Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro Westfalia Weekender on 2040-cars
South Point, Ohio, United States
|
I have decided to sale my Syncro Westfalia Weekender. This was/is my daily driver but I have recently purchased a new vehicle so I am selling this one now. I've owned it for a few years after acquiring it as a unfinished project from a friend of mine. This was at one time a full westy, it was converted to a weekender and features a full width rear seat that makes a huge bed, a fold up table and one rear facing jump seat. This set up allows for a lot of extra space usually wasted on cabinets etc. I came to learn this most suited my needs as a camper but also as something I could still haul with if I needed to. Its great because you can fit a full sheet of plywood in it! The following work has been done since Ive owned the van. Complete brake rebuild, all new lines, hardware, master cylinder etc. Front brakes have recently been upgraded to Audi big brakes with dual piston calipers and vented rotors. All new fuel lines, and fuel tank straps. New clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. New clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. Has both upper and lower South African front grills, headlight relay upgrade for brighter lights. LED under dash lights, CD player. 16 inch Mercedes CLK Wheels with Hankook ATM tires with approx. 20k miles on them tires still have lots of tread left on them. The front seats are the stock units but seat heaters have been added and are great on cold winter days. The interior is in over all good condition no rips or tears in the seats but they do show some wear. Front floors are Volkswagen hard to find factory rubber floors, the rear floor is marine grade vinyl flooring. The tent is an original unit that has a couple patches but still is in pretty good shape and will last a while before it would really need to be replaced. The motor is an 2.1 that is carbureted the FI was removed when I got the van. The head gaskets, water pump and various seals were replaced before it was installed 2 years ago. Its never left me sitting however I've only driven it locally and it has not been on any long journeys since Ive been driving it. There is no AC in the van at all. Transmission is a stock unit it has a granny gear and a locking rear differential. The locking diff works! The drive shaft was pulled out of the van this past February as it developed a vibration which seems to be a common problem. It will be included with the van, but be aware this is a issue that will need to be addressed if you wish to reinstall it. I have been driving the van since then daily without issue. It will need new rear emergency brake cables and it needs 1 outer CV that I just discovered. Body is in decent condition it has various scratches and dings etc, it has some seam rust showing which you will be able to see in the pictures. Skylight is covered with plexi and does not currently open. If you have other questions lets me know. I'm sure I've missed some details, I will add to the description if I think of anything. Van is sold as is where is with no warranties or guarantees. |

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
