1985 Vw Jetta Gl Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Greensboro, North Carolina, United States
|
If you are looking at this add then you know that this is a rare car today. This is not a TDI but the coveted 1.6 normally aspirated turbo diesel with the fully mechanical injection pump. I have too many projects so I'm hoping to find someone who will finish this one. The odometer stopped working at 299,294 and I estimate the car to have approx. 325K on it. The previous owner rebuilt the motor and transmission at 227K. This car runs strong and has been a great commuter. Recent job change reduced commute from 60 miles/day to 12. First the bad: The engine does consume oil (as expected) and the oil pressure light comes once engine is hot and is below 1300 rpm. It has 16-18 psi at idle. I've run the car this way for two years and put in a new oil pump for peace of mind. There is a leak behind the dash when it rains hard. May be the antennae cable? There is a small hole by the passenger rear tail light from rust that allows water to drip into the trunk. A little bondo would fix. The car needs an alignment. I've held off since I wanted to install a new drivers side adjustable tie rod assembly. The injection pump has begun to weep at the advance lever. I'm assuming the O-ring or gasket in this area has begun to wear. Here is a list of new parts replaced in the last 20K: Buyer must pay in full in Cash at time of pick up. $200.00 Deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of auction end.

VW XL1 priced at $169,000 in UK, only 30 will be sold there
Wed, Jul 2 2014Volkswagen has announced the pricing of its XL1 diesel plug-in hybrid for the UK, according to Car magazine. The small, uber-efficient two-seater will start at GBP98,515, or roughly $168,930 at current exchange rates. Additionally, only 30 units of the XL1 will be sold throughout the UK, giving it a rareness appropriate for its lofty price. It's nice to finally be able to stop speculating about the XL1's price. Even as recently as the first XL1 delivery in Germany, we were still mostly in the dark concerning the cost of the slippery VW. But is the price worth it, especially considering that the much sportier BMW i8 can be had for just a bit more (GBP99,895, or $171,460, in the UK)? Car seems to think so, noting that the XL1 is an eco and technology pioneer, and saying that its cost of ownership is "merely the price of progress." Plus, that includes the bragging rights of owning the world's most fuel-efficient car. The XL1's two-cylinder turbo-diesel engine displaces just eight-tenths of a liter and produces 47 horsepower. The internal combustion engine operates alongside a 26-horsepower electric motor powered by a 5.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Despite its 2.64-gallon fuel tank, the XL1 has a maximum driving range of over 700 miles thanks to a 261-mpg rating (based on the European cycle). Unfortunately, we won't be able to do any bladder-busting, nonstop Chicago to DC road trips any time soon, as VW has no plans to bring the XL1 to North America - not that one would relish the experience of dicing it up with America's massive trucks and SUVs. If you want to drive one, you'll have to go to Europe, and you'd better have a very large piggy bank you're prepared to break open.
