1989 VW Jetta 16v with just over 200,000 miles. Car is in super nice condition, been in California it`s whole life until recently, no rust and very recent nice paint job. This Jetta was manufactured in Germany (see VIN tag photo). Recaro seats are in super condition too as is the overall interior, dash has only 2 small cracks (see photos). Car has new headliner, new tires (General Altimax HP directional tread), alignment, muffler, brakes (new rotors/pads in front and new pads in rear). I installed 2 rebuilt control units very recently (ECU and Knock sensor). I paid $400.00 ea from AutoECM. I still have both of the original cores. I have all 4 wheel centers too. I put on a cylinder head from a Jetta that only had 90k on it. This was done about 3 1/2 years ago and car has been driven maybe 30k since. I was going to put in lifters when I came across the head and did this instead. I did a recent compression and all cyls right at 200psi. Motor does not burn one drop of oil and runs very strong. No lifter noise at all too. I still have the original head with the cams which is in great shape, flat as a pancake, just needs the lifters. Car also has Bilstein shocks, all service work done by me. I have been a German car tech for over 25 years, have most receipts. I just recently moved to Oregon and decided not to do any more wrenching. I don`t want to sell the car, best car I have ever had. They don`t make VW`s like this anymore. I don`t have a garage now and it kills me to keep it outside so it`s best to have someone who can garage it and have it stay inside. I think someone who like to tinker, has some VW mechanical experience or knows a good VW mechanic will benefit most from owning this car. Other things done are Kingsborne plug wires (7 mos ago), high rated nice wires made in the US. Recent ignition switch, sunroof seal, door seals, trunk seal. Clutch was done about 40k ago, no chatter, I am very easy on it. Tune up about 5k ago, including spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter. I know there is more, can`t think at the moment. Timing belt is due in a about 6 months or so. AC is nice and cold, heater is a bit marginal at the moment, only a problem when below 30 outside. The idle is a little rough at times and is a little cold blooded. I usually give it a few minutes of warm up before taking off when cold. I think either the idle control valve might be the issue. Also, it wouldn`t be a bad idea to get a timing light (mine is broken) and make sure it is right on the money and have the fuel mixture checked to make sure it is right where it should be also. Last thing. The odo as of the last couple of years doesn`t always advance. The true mileage is probably about 10k or so more than indicated. The speedo has always worked and still does. The odo seams to function about 30% of the time. Oh, recent motor mounts, lower ball joints and battery. Any more questions, just ask. |

VW Diesel Scandal Wrap-up: Time for bullet points
Thu, Sep 24 2015Here we go again. If you were not pegged to your RSS reader yesterday, scoping out all of the VW diesel scandal news, here's a brief rundown of what happened: Just how much extra pollution did VW's little problem cause in the US? New estimates suggest it's as bad as having an additional 19 million cars on the road, or "12,000 additional tons of nitrogen oxide pollutants per year." NOx can create smog and acid rain. The diesel scandal is also reshaping some online ads. Sponsored content in WIRED that talked about clean diesel has been taken down. The advertisement was a partnership between Volkswagen and the Wired Brand Lab and claimed to have, "created an experience that will inform, educate, surprise, and change the way you think about diesel." Canada says it might start up its own governmental investigation and that "enforcement action will be taken," if the automaker is found to have broken the law. The German government says it did not know about VW's subterfuge until recently, and is going to start a fact-finding process this week. It turns out that the first hints of this scandal were discovered by independent researchers in 2012 and 2013. Whatever happened, Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that it's hard to hide something like this. Following CEO Martin Winterkorn's departure yesterday, speculation is running rampant to see who will replace him. Automotive News says it should be current Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller. Don't feel too bad for Winterkorn, though, as he's still likely to get his $32 million pension, Bloomberg says. Oh, and this isn't even the first time VW has tried to cheat the EPA. It's a problem in the auto industry. We'll see how many bullet points we have tomorrow.

VW to pay $1B in settlement with US government over V6 diesels
Tue, Dec 20 2016Volkswagen and the US government have come to a settlement for the civil claims against the automaker's 3.0-liter, diesel V6s. Over 83,000 V6 TDI-powered models are currently prowling US roads in violation of emissions laws. The settlement allows VW to recall over 75 percent of its cheating V6 diesels – about 63,000 units – and bring them into compliance. These represent newer VW Touaregs, Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7s, and Porsche Cayennes built between 2013 and 2016. According to the company, the recall will bring these so-called Generation Two engines up to emissions specs, provided the EPA and CARB okay the modifications. Should the regulators say no to VW's tweaks, the company will buy back or terminate leases with the affected owners. For older V6 TDIs built between 2009 and 2012, Volkswagen will do broadly the same thing, only in reverse. It will lead with buy backs of older Touaregs and Q7s – the only vehicles the company sold with the earlier engines – but could offer fixes if EPA/CARB give the okay. As part of its agreement over the emissions-cheating V6s, Volkswagen will contribute $225 million to the "environmental remediation trust" it established as part of its settlement over cheating 2.0-liter TDIs. VW is also on the hook for $25 million with CARB, bringing the total for the six-cylinder part of its emissions cheating scandal to around $1 billion, Automotive News reports. This initial agreement still needs approval from US District Court Judge Charles Breyer. Related Video:
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
