THE CABRIO IS A VERY LIGHT CAR AND DOES NOT EAT UP THE BREAKS.

THE BAD:

REAR RIGHT WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE - IT IS UNPLUGGED BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS BAD
ABS LIGHT IS ON - IT SPONTANEOUSLY COMES ON AND OFF - THE CODE THAT IS PULLED FROM IT SAYS ITS LOW VOLTAGE TO THE WIRE - CAN BE REPAIRED BY TRACING THE ABS WIRES AND REPLACING THE ONE THAT IS BAD OR DRIVE WITH IT ON, DOES NOT AFFECT ANY REGULAR BRAKING.
RIGHT SIDE OF DASH NIGHT TIME LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF - THIS I BELIEVE RELATED WITH THE ABS LIGHT THAT IS ON, WHEN ALL THE NIGHT TIME DASH LIGHTS WORK I HAVE NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT GOES OFF.
FRONT RIGHT WHEEL 2 LUG BOLTS ARE SEIZED IN HUB - WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE HUB AND BEARING
ALL (4) STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED THEY ARE WORN - THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT SLIGHT - IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED A FEW TIMES BUT GOES OUT OF ALIGNMENT AFTER A FEW WEEKS BECAUSE THE STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE UGLY:

DRIVERS SEAT HAS TWO RIPS, ONE OF THE SEAT (LEFT SIDE) AND ON THE BACK (LEFT SIDE)
CARE HAS MINOR DENTS ON DOORS AND FENDERS - CAN ONLY BE SEEN UP CLOSE (LOOKS LIKE GROCERY CART HITS)
FRONT BUMPER AND READ BUMPER WILL NEED TO BE TOUCHED UP - GOT CAUGHT BEHIND A SALTING TRUCK THIS WINTER.
2 MINOR RUST SPOT ON DRIVER DOOR - NEEDS TOUCH UP PAINT (WHICH I WILL INCLUDE WITH PURCHASE)
LEFT REAR RIM IS MISSING CENTER CAP
LEFT FRONT FENDER IS MISSING WOLFSBURG CAP
LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR TRIM MOLDING IS MISSING A CLIP
BOTH DOORS SIDE VIEW MIRROR COVER CLIPS ARE BROKEN.


OVERALL THIS CAR HAS BEEN GREAT TO ME, AS A MECHANIC I FIXED WHAT NEED TO BE FIXED AS IT BROKE. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR MONEY TO INVEST INTO THIS GAS SIPPER ANY MORE.
IT IS PERFECT FOR ANY FIRST TIME DRIVER DUE TO ITS SMALL SIZE, VW ENTHUSIAST ( MKIII BODY WHERE A VR6 MOTOR AND TRANS CAN BE PUT INTO IT ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IS THE AXLES) OR ANYONE WHO LOVES THE WIND IN THEIR HAIR AS THEY DRIVE DOWN TO THE BEACH.

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA

Sat, Aug 23 2014

Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
