Here we have a 1986 VW Jetta GL Wolfsburg. It is equipped with the HO turbo diesel NOT the Eco diesel. 5 speed trans. Lets talk about the bad first and get that out of the way. It has the typical VW rust as you can see in all the photo's I have provided. The drivers rear door handle is missing as you can see in the photos and the bottom of the same door is rusty but that's probably the worst part of the car in my opinion. I was always just going to get a used rear door and replace it. It also has some rust around the windshield as you can see. But overall its a nice looking little car for the year. The radio has been missing from the day I got the car, no biggie to me I don't listen to a radio while driving anyway. Good for you because you can install any one you would like, the plug is there. The right rear door opens when it feels like it, I know, kind of weird but it does. The tach does the "wild boogie" dace occasionally since the new alternator was installed, the tach works off the alternator for you that don't know. The AC did work this summer but must have a small leak because the compressor wont turn on now. Now on a happier note. The Wolfsburg for you that don't know was made in Germany, and GL is the top of the line model with the extra trim package, AC and power steering along with the HO turbo diesel engine mated with the high ratio 5-speed transmission for the diesel powered GL models. Injection pump rebuilt this summer, along with a new timing belt. New battery last year 4 new tires New alternator New struts I have always used AMSOIL synthetic oils in the car, engine and trans. I am religious about oil changes, every 5000. The car runs and drives like a top, it drives like its on rails ! She starts right up on the coldest of days no problem. The HO turbo diesel is a peppy little rascal, it gets great fuel mileage, I average 50-55 MPG. When I bought this car the gentleman told me that the engine had been replaced with a long block from VW, at that time he said it had about 60,000 miles on it so my best guess would be that it has around 90- 100,000 miles on it now. This car is in no way perfect nor am I claiming it is, but it is a great little car and has always been super reliable to me and with the proper care and maintenance it will continue to be for years to come Im sure. This car is my daily driver and I love it ! But we are going to buy a brand new Jetta TDI wagon, I also have a Rabbit diesel Im selling as well. My wife made a good point a few weeks back and I had to agree with her, we are paying 2X plates and insurance and Im only driving one car at a time, we also travel back home to Wisconsin from Michigan on a regular basis so I guess a new car is in order. The mileage will go up on the car until we get our new Jetta Wagon, as I said earlier It is my daily driver. I have provided LOTS of photos so be sure to take a good look at all of them. I am offering the little Jetta with NO warranties expressed nor impelled and you are buying it as-is. Im sure you can understand with any used vehicle I can not make any guaranties of any kind nor will I. I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. If you are bidder with less than a 50 feedback ratings you must contact me prior to placing a bid, if not I will cancel it. The car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if its not than I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it, and thusly you will not receive your deposit back. As the old saying goes "It only takes one bad apple" and I have had the misfortune of meeting a few. So with all that said good luck and happy bidding ! |

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award
Thu, Dec 22 2016NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry." Read more from Automotive News. Volkswagen will pay $1.6 billion (US) in Canada as part of a settlement of its diesel emissions scandal. The funds will be used to fix or buy back some 105,000 affected cars, compensate owners between $3,815 and $4,451 above the buyback price, and pay a $11.2 million civil fine. So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon.

The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
