Strong running hard to find 4-door 1985 Volkswagen Golf Diesel. 40+ mpg, 5 speed, tons of fun to drive. Odometer reads 171,xxx, however the last few months it has only worked sporadically but prior to that I was recording mpg's up to 44 and that's driving it mostly 60-65 mph to work. It is a daily driver and I commute 20 minutes each way. I wouldn't recommend it, but I've driven 600 miles on a single tank of diesel. Tank size is around 14 gallons, so the thing basically generates fuel.
Mechanically, it runs strong, blows plenty of black smoke if you're into that and fires right up. The goods on the unit consist of: 1.6L VW Diesel engine, all glass is crack/chip free, all windows crank up and down, huge trunk, rear seats fold down, interior is in good condition considering age and tires are all good. The items that may or may not need attention, depending on the type of buyer, consist of: a/c was converted last year to new fittings and worked well prior to the low-end of the compressor going out late last summer (I have opted for manual a/c for now), there is a slight drip around the injector pump when the engine is cold, however it never affected fuel mileage and has not been an issue (if I had not mentioned it you probably wouldn't notice it), plug-in block heater does not work (aftermarket heaters are pretty cheap), there is a few spots of surface rust with the one on the bottom of the passenger's side door being the worst (still nothing major in my opinion) and the outside door handle of the rear driver's side door recently quit working (however the inside works fine and shouldn't be too much to fix).
I also removed the headliner and once I removed it I found that I preferred the look of no headliner, plus with a portion of the metal exposed I am able to attach the magnetic back on my cell phone to the roof which is extremely handy. Just had the oil changed and the air filter replaced professionally, so it's road ready. Several things have been replaced within the last few years including glow plugs, radiator, rear wheel bearings (checked the front ones and they were fine), shift linkage, etc. I really love this car and my children are going to hate to see it go as it was a family favorite. Original owners manual included.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
