2003 Eurovan MV. Enthusiast owned, in perfect mechanical condition, with 110,091 miles. I purchased this van in 2008 shortly after it had come off lease at about 85,000 miles. Since I have owned it, I have maintained it religiously, with all fluid and filter changes exceeding VW recommendations. That includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, oil, air, cabin, and fuel filters. Transmission shifts smoothly and I've changed the ATF fluid and filter twice. Engine is perfect and all spark plugs were replaced. I replaced the water pump and serpentine belt as a preventative measure. The AC system received an overhaul with new compressor, expansion valves, and drier/filter. AC is ice cold and heat is blazing.
Bilstein shocks were put on the front and back. Rear tires are between 7/32 and 8/32 (70% to 80%) and front tires are at 6/32 or 60%. A Class 2 hitch was added only for carrying bicycles (never towed anything).
The van has plush LLoyd Mats in the front and rear passenger area. These mats look great and have excellent coverage, giving the van the feel of having new carpet.
Modifications include a Blaupunkt in-dash DVD Stereo that is wired to a custom mounted 20" LCD TV in the back. This mount is easily removable with the twist of a pipe connection. This is a rare non-weekender MV that contains an auxiliary battery. I had an auto electric shop make a custom wiring harness models after the German Weekender wiring harness. A high capacity auxiliary battery is installed under the drivers seat, with a custom fuse panel and new power leads at the rear of the seat. One of these leads provides power to the TV and the other provides an outlet for a refrigerator or other accessory. The TV outlet has an voltage regulator installed in-line. I've modded the electrical system so that all of the rear lights and outlets run off of the auxiliary battery and I've added a aux battery volt meter to the dash.
A 120V GFCI outlet has been installed in the cabin area, with an extension cord that is accessed from a faux foglight at the rear of the van. This is great for camping at site with electrical power connections and allows the use of 120v appliances in the cabin.
I've been using a Waeco Coolfreeze 35 quart refrigerator. This refrigerator is super efficient and runs for days off the auxiliary battery. I've attached a custom harness/hold down and anti-theft cable lock. I'm not inclined to sell this $$$ refrigerator as I can use it with my other Eurovan, but will include it with a full price offer only.
The van runs like new. The ONLY reason I am selling is because I just purchased a Weekender EV with poptop. I have two kids and we had been tent camping with this van. In fact, the bed has never been slept in. The van has almost all highway miles as we typically drove it on weekends to camp out of state.
The alternator was recently rebuilt and the van has a brand new starting battery.
Bonus items included with this sale include a full set of curtains that have never been used, a TomTom Go navigation device with power cord, and a radar detector (just because I have extras and don't need these). More photos can be sent via email.
The van is located 5 minutes from historic downtown Charleston, SC and surrounding beaches. Take a nice vacation and come get the van of your dreams.

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.

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8
Mon, Dec 22 2014If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
