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

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and Â“shatterproofÂ” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique Â“frunkgateÂ” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna

Sun, Mar 22 2015

The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

VW stock plummets as Euro markets open

Mon, Sep 21 2015

The fallout from Volkswagen's installation of an emissions "defeat device" on nearly 500,000 diesel-fueled models in the US is already hitting the automaker hard on the German stock exchange. At one point, the share price plummeted 23 percent to erase the equivalent of $17.6 billion in value. Things eventually bounced back slightly to a still severe 19.23 percent loss, according to Bloomberg as of this writing. The scandal couldn't come at a worse time for chairman Martin Winterkorn. The VW supervisory board takes up the issue of renewing his contract on September 25, Bloomberg reports. If things get bad enough, the door could be open for a new boss to step in. Dealers in the US might start feeling the pain from this, as well. Affected 2015 VWs that are still at showrooms are now under a stop sale. Until the issue is straightened out, the Environmental Protection Agency isn't certifying the company's 2016 diesel models with the 2.0 TDI, either. The diesel emissions problem was first discovered by research from West Virginia University and the International Council on Clean Transportation. In some cases, the engines can produce 40 times more nitrogen oxides than allowed. The automaker could be on the hook for $18 billion in fines for the breach, but the actual figure is expected to be lower. In response, Winterkorn has issued a public apology and ordered an independent investigation into what happened. The EPA and California Air Resources Board have also been looking into the situation. This could become an international problem, though. According to The Detroit News, European authorities might begin similar inquires to check the automaker's diesel emissions there.
