What i have for sale is my 1998 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This thing is the definition of a work car. It does run and drive, but there is alot wrong with it, I will leave a honest description on it, to keep the suprises to a minimal. I did some trading in march and obtained this vehicle for a job i knew was coming up , which happenned to be 90 miles away from home one way. I made the trade, changed the oil in the car, changed the fuel filter, put some new tie rod ends on, new front brake rotors and pads. I drove it 4 to 5 days a week , 180 mile round trip a day for 3 months . It only let me down one time. The pipe that comes off the exhaust manifold and goes to the EGR Cooler broke clean off, flooding the cab with smoke when i accelerated. So i had it towed home. I ended up removing the EGR cooler, and plug welding the two flanges , the one right off of the exhaust manifold, and the one that the EGR cooler went to on the intake side. It didnt seem to affect anything as far as mpg or performance goes. I averaged anywhere between 38 and 42 miles a gallon, running about 75 ish on the highway. The car shifts through all 5 gears, doesnt pop out or anything, clutch doesnt slip, it actually cruises very well at 70 plus. Anyway, now for the bad....

First off, when you fire the car up, you get a big ole plume of black smoke, pretty cool, my old cummins truck did the same thing. Its not as noticeable, but it will continue to blow diesel smoke through the rest of the trip. In the pictures the car is just recently washed, but a couple thousand miles from now, the whole back end will be covered in diesel soot. I always thought it was pretty cool. The thing leaks oil pretty good, not enough were you have to add any between oil changes, but it does mark its territory everywhere it goes. There is not a single gauge on the dash that works. No speedo, no odometer, temp, nothing. So that means that the mileage I stated above is innacurate. I dont know how long before i got it that the guages went out, so I have absolutely no idea on the mileage. I figure i probably put 12 to 15000 miles on it since i've had it. The A/C blows hot air, the drivers door latch on the inside is non existant, so you have to roll the window down and use the outside handle. I got so used to doing this , that I actually open my door from the outside in my truck now. The glove box is in the same shape, it does not open. The previous owner used the trunk to haul transmissions, so it is pretty nasty. But on the good side, there are no signs of rust in the trunk. The rest of the car however, is getting pretty rusty. The rockers are gone, theres some small spots here and there, but there is a real nasty spot that you will see in the pictures on the rear passenger door jamb. Looks like someone tried to repair it a couple years ago, and did not have a clue what they were doing. Honestly I am suprised that the door even stays shut, but it does, and for this reason i keep it locked so i dont have to put any more wear or tear on it. The cruise control does not work . The CD player that is in it , doesnt really fit, i never did put a install kit in it, so its just sitting there, very easy to steal, its nothing special anywhere, but it does have a remote. I am sure I am missing something, but there ya have it. She runs, she drives, cant guarantee for how much longer, but it saved me a ton of money this summer. I have since moved on to a different job closer to home, and am looking to get into something a little bigger because i wont be driving so much. Its kind of hard to get a couple bicycles and fishing poles in the old girl. It is what it is, sold as is where is, you are more than welcome to drive it around the block a couple times. One thing i would definately recommend, and if you are looking at this, more than likely you are into these things anyway, but i would definately recommend a Timing belt change ASAP, from what I read, they are only good for 60,000 ish miles, and when they go, its game over, I have no idea when the last time it was done.

*** Since I've had it, i've been running Rotella T6 synthetic 5w40 in it (performed 3 oil changes), and I have also been running stanadyne fuel additive at every fill up***

*** Tires are decent for awhile, I have a full size spare, as well as a donut, I also have 4 unmounted Studded snow tires that will be included *****

Shoot me a text or give me a call at 419 707 2971 if you have anymore questions, or you can contact me through ebay or email at mycat8urskidoo@gmail.com

*** With all this fuel money your going to save with this beast, you can definately afford to buy that snowmobile you've always wanted, just happens to be i've got one for sale,. check out my other auctions to see my 01 zr440 sno pro for sale!***

Thanks

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.

As VW electrifies, it questions the role of Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ducati

Wed, Sep 30 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen needs to change to stay relevant in the electric and digital vehicle era and will announce "important steps" to that end before the close of the year, Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Wednesday. "Volkswagen needs to change: From a collection of valuable brands and fascinating combustion-engine products that thrill customers with superb engineering Â— to a digital company that reliably operates millions of mobility devices worldwide," Diess told shareholders at the company's virtual general meeting. Vehicles need to stay in contact with customers, offer new services and comfort functions on a weekly or even daily basis, he said. "We will take further important steps to set the course for this in the rest of 2020," Diess said. Senior executives told Reuters the company is reviewing what role its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati will play as the company increasingly focuses on electric, digital and autonomous vehicles. Volkswagen, which also owns VW, Audi, Porsche, Seat and Skoda, is looking at whether it has the resources to accelerate development of electric platforms for smaller brands at a time it is investing billions to transform its more mainstream cars. Asked whether Ducati, which is known for making noisy combustion-engined motorbikes, has an electric future, Markus Duesmann, who oversees research and development for the group, said: "It will not take long until we see an electric Ducati." Whether Ducati, which is a medium-sized premium motorbike brand, would offer an electric variant, depends on whether a bike could offer range comparable to a combustion-engined variant, Duesmann said. Advances are being made in battery technology which could make this possible, he added. Separately Frank Witter, the company's chief financial officer, in response to a question about whether a sale of Lamborghini is planned, said Volkswagen does not comment on speculation about potential divestments. Lamborghini's Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali this week announced his departure from the sports car maker to take on a new job as president of Formula One. VW needs cash Volkswagen is reviewing the future of these three high-performance brands as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars, senior executives told Reuters.
