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.

Yes, a family of 5 can live in a 1981 VW Westfalia van
Fri, Feb 14 2014Automakers and marketers trying to reach environmentally conscious consumers who desire the simple life basically have two strategies: promote electric vehicles that can be charged through green energy or sell a 30-year-old Volkswagen van on Craigslist. Nicolas Boullosa and Kirsten Dirksen opted for Plan B and turned a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia camper into a "micro-living" experiment. The co-founders of the simple living website faircompanies packed up their van and three young children for a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. They even turned the adventure into a documentary called Summer of (Family) Love, which you can view below. It's two hours long, so maybe add this to your weekend viewing list. They limited themselves to one backpack per person into a camper that they purchased off Craigslist and named "Westy." They stuck to their original intention of cooking all their own meals off a propane stove, creating a new little home every night in a different location, mostly spaces outside RV parks. They met up with other enthusiasts of the "tiny house" community who live like nomads. They were able to interview a few of then and, "With each stop we picked up some new piece of wisdom about life's essentials," Dirksen wrote in the faircompanies blog.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan.
