1998 Volkswagen Jetta Tdi Turbo Diesel Low Miles on 2040-cars
Spring Arbor, Michigan, United States
I am selling for a friend. This is a great car. Runs and drives great! 45-50mpg highway. This is a one owner car. Non-smoker. It was purchased new in 1998 in California then moved to Michigan, July 2005. Cold A/C. Turbo diesel with manual transmission. Only rust is on bottom of drivers side rear door(see photo). All four tires have good tread. Back tires are weather checked. The "check engine" light is on. According to my mechanic, it is the ecu. It has no effect on running or driving. The code came up as a "random access memory" code. No relevance at all to running or efficiency. The windshield was just replaced because it was cracked. If you check the photos, both corners have scuffing or paint cracking on the rear bumper cover. Another photo shows a very small dent just under the antenna on the drivers side front fender. I have a new front fog light lens cover on order and should be here by auction end .Other than that, there is just minor scuffing and chips. The power steering is noisy at idle and steers hard until the rpms are higher. Under normal driving it is fine. The battery was replaced 6 months ago, then the car sat all winter without being driven. This is a little old lady's car who decided she should no longer be driving. I have tried to describe the car the best I could. $500.00 due at auction end. Then I will accept cash or bank money order for balance upon pick up of car. If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me. Thanks!

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
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.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
