1984 Mk1 Vw Volkswagen Jetta 1.6td Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Westminster, Maryland, United States
|
The time has come to sell my beloved jetta in hopes that someone will get as much enjoyment out of it as i did. It is a 1984 1.6 factory turbo diesel 5 speed. I have done alot of work to the car over the years and taken very good care of it.
It belonged to my cousin who bought it from the original owner out of north carolina. My cousin would drive the car back and fourth from n.c. to lititz pa to visit her family. She eventually gave it to her father who drove it around town on occasion. He had a local vw specialist do all the work to the car before i got it. Once he sold it to me i drove it around for about a month until the injection pump went out do to bad injectors. The car sat for a couple years until i had the pump fixed and the injectors rebuilt. when I was installing the injectors I cracked the head at the bottom of the threads. I removed the head and had it welded and installed new gaskets and out it back together. The car has been this way for several years now with zero problems. It has 197,000 miles on the motor the trans was replaced with one from an eco diesel and the 5th gear (.71) from the original trans was installed for long distance driving. I still have the original trans but the diff broke so not sure how much is good with it. The pump has been tweaked slightly and a boost controller installed to allow it to run 20 psi of boost with minimal smoke. The exhaust is custom 2.5" mandrel bent from turbo back with no muffler or cat. I have installed aftermarket boost, egt, and oil pressure gauges in the factory center console to keep an eye on everything. The air conditioning has been gone over and all internals cleaned and re-charged with r 134. The heater core was replaced a couple years ago. Both heat and a/c work. About 2 years ago I had a friend who is a painter sand the whole car down and repaint the car in the original color gambia red. At that time I found a euro jetta front end and clear corners and euro jetta bumpers and installed them. The tail lights are cheap knockoff clear tails that i fixed to keep from leaking and seal to the car and painted red. I have the original tail lights as well. It has raceland coils, all new suspension bushings and new control arms as well as new inner and outer tie rod ends. I bought a set of 2.5" osvw strut caps with mk4 bushings. I just put new brakes on the front and upgraded to the gli pads and rotors. The interior is all original with the exception of the 4 button turbo diesel steering wheel i got from overseas. It is in good shape for its age with no tears in the seats. The headliner has a couple small tears in it one of which i repaired but it is not sagging. The front windshield seal is new and new chrome was installed in the front and rear seals. It doeas have a factory sunroof that works and doesnt leak. It has a fairly new seal on it as well. As of now the car has 13" bmw turbine wheels with 165/65-13. I still have the gold rota 15" wheels and will consider selling them with the car for the asking price. |

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
