Hey there, I have for sale my 2009 VW GTI. Its tornado red with the interlagos interior, 6-speed manual transmission. The car currently has 63,3xx miles and will be going up since this car is my daily driver. Its mostly stock with the exception of a Unitronic Stage 1 tune, BSH Torque arm insert, Audi S3 short shit kit and  ECS tuning smoked side markers on the front in place of the amber ones. I have the original ones available if you prefer those. Comes with the monster mats as shown, but  I also have the original ones as well. Comes complete with all books and manuals. All tools and original spare tire as well. interior is in good shape with typical wear marks on  the drivers seat and armrests. I dont smoke or eat in the car so its in very good condition. The only thing that doesnt work is the cd player, reason being a cd got stuck in it and displays "cd error" when selecting. All other features of the radio work and even has an aux input in the dash so you can listen to MP3 or stream audio if you wish. Car also has heated seats.  The reason im selling is because after 3 years I want to get back into a BMW. Its been a great car but its time to move into something else.

Now time for a little history about this car. I bought it in November 2010 with 24,500 miles on the odometer. Apparently, this car was involved in an accident prior to me purchasing it. I inspected it personally before buying on a lift and could not find any evidence of a repair. The accident may have been very minor or whoever did the job did a very good repair. There is no frame damage, no salvage or rebuilt title either. the airbags were never deployed according to carfax so im not sure, they may have screwed up on their end.  I have owned the car for 3 years and never gave me any issues or left me stranded. There are no misaligned hood gaps or body panels, no overspray anywhere on the car. When I tell people this they cant believe it was ever in an accident.  I have all records since my purchase and receipts. I am a professional technician myself and performed all repairs myself. I have changed the oil every 5,000 miles with OEM VW filters and the recommended Castrol Syntec oil. At 50k I replaced the spark plugs, fuel and cabin filters and replaced the cabin air filter. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch does not slip in any gear. I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions since I understand some people may be coming from several hours away and nothing is more disappointing than seeing a car that has been misrepresented. if you are expecting a car with a perfect body then you will be disappointed since it does have typical rock chips,  scratches and a few small dings  for a daily driven car with 63k, but no huge dents or broken headlights or cracked foglights. The car is in very good shape and I think anyone who buys it will be very happy. I just inspected the car and the brakes are still at 9/32 front and 5/32 rear so those are still good for a while. The only thing I can see this car needing in the future are 4 tires since they are really getting worn. Around 5/32 on all them. I also have a set of Nokian RG2s mounted on a set of 16'' Audi A4 wheels that I run during the winter. They are literally brand new and have less than 5,000 miles on them which are awesome and really transform the car in the snow. I also have another OEM VW oil filter I will include as well.  I can include these in the sale if you are interested.  Again, if you are looking for a mechanically sound, adult driven GTI that is mostly stock then this is the one. Any more questions feel free to contact me at 703-727-6684. I live about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Trying to get $13k but will take any reasonable offer.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

VW recalls another 6,700 vehicles over fuel leak [UPDATE]

Mon, Feb 2 2015

UPDATE: An earlier version of this post suggested that the expanded recall involved an additional 44,658 units, when VW tells us that is in fact the total number - adding a further 6,679 to the original recall of 37,979. The text below has been updated accordingly, with our apologies for the confusion. It was a little over a month ago that Volkswagen issued a recall for some 38,000 vehicles over a potential fuel leak. Now the German automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have expanded that recall, affecting even more vehicles for the same issue. The problem revolves around a sealing cap at the fuel rail, which could fail and cause fuel to leak into the engine compartment, thereby increasing the risk of a fire. This time around, VW is calling in a selection of Jettas, Passats, Golfs, GTIs, Beetles and Beetle Convertibles, all of them from the 2014 and 2015 model years (except the Golf and GTI, of which only 2015 models are being recalled). The recall now affects an estimated additional 6,679 units, which (in addition to the 37,979 recalled previously) brings the total up to 44,658 vehicles across the United States. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: JAN 23, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V028000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 44,658 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early February 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24BL. Note: This recall expands and supersedes recall 14V-809 (Volkswagen recall number 24Bi) and only affects vehicles not previously repaired under that campaign.

EPA discovers defeat device in more VW TDI engines

Mon, Nov 2 2015

In a sternly worded letter, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has issued a new set of allegations against Volkswagen claiming that so-called emissions defeat software has been found in the company's 3.0-liter TDI V6 diesel engines. This is a completely different engine than the 2.0 TDI that has already been identified as an emissions cheater. In addition to VW, the EPA has included Audi and Porsche in this notification, as the non-compliant engine has been used in vehicles from all three manufacturers from model years 2014 through 2016. The EPA claims that cars equipped with the 3.0 TDI engine know when they are being tested for emissions, and their on-board computers switch into a mode designed to pass the stringent requirements in the United States for diesel exhaust. Vehicles sold in the United States with this engine include the 2014 VW Touareg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2016 Audi A6, A7, A8L and Q5. The EPA says there are 10,000 vehicles currently on the road with this second defeat device, along with an unknown number of 2016 models either on dealer lots or in the driveways of consumers. According to the EPA, VW's 3.0-liter TDI, like the 2.0 TDI that was found to circumvent US regulations, has code in its computer specifically written to intentionally put the vehicle's engine into a mode that allows it to meet exhaust requirements. When the vehicle is unhooked from testing equipment, it will go back into a mode that emits nine-times higher nitrogen oxide emissions than is allowable under US law. "VW has once again failed its obligation to comply with the law that protects clean air for all Americans," said Cynthia Giles, Assistant Administrator for the Office for EPA's Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "All companies should be playing by the same rules. EPA, with our state, and federal partners, will continue to investigate these serious matters, to secure the benefits of the Clean Air Act, ensure a level playing field for responsible businesses, and to ensure consumers get the environmental performance they expect." Richard Corey, Executive Officer of the California Air Resources Board, said in a statement, "Today we are requiring VW Group to address these issues. This is a very serious public health matter. ARB and EPA will continue to conduct a rigorous investigation that includes testing more vehicles until all of the facts are out in the open." This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
