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 Tiguan grows up, gets bigger
Mon, Sep 14 2015The compact crossover segment continues to do huge business around the world, and Volkswagen is showing just how important the niche is by debuting four versions of the all-new, second-generation Tiguan at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Now riding on VW's MQB platform, the latest version has had a growth spurt, but it has also shed 110 pounds in the process. The first of them will hit the international market in April 2016. While the design is still definitively a VW, the latest Tiguan looks more aggressive and expands to 2.4-inches longer, 1.2-inches wider, 1.3-inches lower. There's also three more inches of wheelbase than the outgoing generation. At the front, the grille stretches all the way across and connects with the headlights to visually widen the look even more. In profile and at the rear, things are now a bit more angular, but the changes give the model a more chiseled style. In Fall 2016, VW will debut an even longer wheelbase body for the Tiguan. According to the company, this version will be aimed directly at customers in the US and China that prefer larger vehicles. The added inches outside translate to more room for passengers and cargo inside. Even with the seats up, there's an extra 1.8 cubic feet for stuff in the back, and those sitting in the rear get 1.1 inches more knee room. As an added amenity, buyers can option a 12.3-inch Active Info display digital instrument panel. Europeans gets a choice of eight engines: four fueled by gasoline and four by diesel. They range in power from 123 to 237 horsepower. Expect far fewer options when the Tiguan eventually arrives on these shores. Both front-wheel drive and 4Motion are available, too. In addition to having standard, 4Motion, and R-Line variants on display in Frankfurt, VW also has the Tiguan GTE plug-in hybrid concept at the show. It combines a 1.4-liter TSI engine and an electric motor mounted to the six-speed DSG to offer a total system output of 215 hp. The 13 kWh lithium-ion battery also lets the PHEV cover 31 miles on electric power and get an estimated 124 miles per gallon on the European cycle. That's not too bad, but the roof also features solar cells that VW claims can add another 621 miles of driving range per year under ideal conditions.
