Outstanding VW Westy, with 52053 original miles, runs and drives great.  Previous owner had $2300 worth of work done to it about 6500 miles ago to include upper ball joints, 4 CV boots, removed and resealed transmission, front outer tie rods, rear main seal, and 4 new tires (I have the receipt for all that).  This was everything it needed to be perfect, she then passed away a couple years later and it sat for a few years. When I got it the slave cylinder was stuck so I replaced it and bleed the system, brakes could use a bit more bleeding as pedal travel is a little low but it stops good.  I also adjusted the valves and changed the oil and filter, it runs great with no leaks!  Has an aftermarket cd player with nice aftermarket speakers throughout.  Everything works, wipers, lights, turn signals, heat, speedometer, odometer, e-brake, ect).  This is the first westy I've seen with what seems like factory A/C controls (see pic), the controls turn on the unit above the back seats, when you turn the inner knob to AC you can hear a relay click but it doesn't blow cold, I think it needs a compressor because I can't find one (unless it's internal of the unit like a home window unit, but it's not on the engine?), anyway, all the other components for it are there behind the front grill (condenser, evaporator, lines that lead to the unit).  Body is very good and seems to have been painted a darker green at some point, when you open the door you can see the two-toned look which I think looks pretty cool (see pic), really no rust to speak of, not even in the battery compartment, rain gutters (see pic), or wheel wells (see pic).  I did take a pic of the one spot I've found where some paint chipped away and there is surface rust (see pic).  Manual tranny shifts great and smoothly into each gear.  The tent has a tear that has tape on it, when I took these pics today it was raining and no rain got in, but I would glue a canvas patch on it if I was keeping it.  Windows, doors, and top open and close smoothly, it looks like the inner sliding door handle was rubbing the body when it would slide open at one point in time (see pic) but it has clearance now. A couple of the plastic corner bumpers were loose so I took them off and they are in the vehicle.  I don't know how to use the appliances but like everything else I'm sure they work, feel free to ask me anything and I'll go check it out, I can send specific pics if you want or I will call you if you send me your number.  This westy drives great but I have not driven it far and since it sat for a while I would recommend shipping it, and driving it locally for a few days before it made a road trip. The reserve is real low, this will sell

**NOTE** I see that the ebay vehicle report is flagging the title, I assure you I have a clean clear title in my name, in my hands right now.  This flag is odd because as you click on it, it eventually says that there may be a problem with the odometer, but in the odometer section it says it's good, and you can see in the report that the mileage has always been increasing.  Anyways rest assure you can ignore this flag, the odometer checks good and the title is clean.

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.

VW suspends sales in South Korea ahead of government meeting

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Volkswagen and Audi have announced they will suspend sales of 79 different models in South Korea ahead of a meeting with the country's environmental ministry. VW will halt sales starting on July 25, the same day that its officials are to sit down with the South Korean environmental ministry, which will likely punish the German company. The Wall Street Journal reports that Korea's response to the situation will likely come in the form of an outright sales ban on Volkswagen products by revoking certifications on 79 different models based on 34 different vehicle types. Affected models include the VW Golf, Jetta, and Tiguan and the Audi A3 and A6, the WSJ reports. Essentially, it looks like VW is merely trying to get out ahead of the South Korean government. If the revocation goes through, it'd likely lead to fines and a relatively large recall of around 79,000 vehicles, the WSJ reports. Despite the dreary forecast, Volkswagen reaffirmed its commitment to the South Korean market. "This decision doesn't mean that Volkswagen is pulling out of Korea, which is a very important market to us," a Korean rep for the company said in a statement. "We'll reapply for certification of our cars if the government revokes it. The process may take several months." While Volkswagen's diesel emissions testing scandal is part of the problem, South Korea is taking a harder line than a lot of other countries. Authorities indicted a Volkswagen exec on charges of submitting falsified emissions documents and noise tests last week, while separately, Korea's trade watchdog is considering criminal charges against execs, according to the WSJ. Banning VW Group sales in South Korea isn't quite as dramatic as if the company stopped sales in China, the United States, or Germany, but it's still going to sting. VW Group products (including Bentley) represented around a third of European cars imported by South Korea last year.
