We bought this car from a towing company for our daughter to go to college with. It had a bad motor and a clear title. The towing company told us a bit about the history of the car. It was purchased used by a single mom. Shortly after she bought it, the top end of the motor seized because of a lack of oil and the timing chain broke. The cause was the oil plug was stripped out and was leaking oil. The lady stopped paying on the loan and the bank repossessed it. The towing company was hired by the bank to pick it up and bring it to their impound yard where the bank eventually came out and deemed the car not worth repairing and gave it to the towing company for payment. The bank wrote on the title "scrap". When we went to change the "clean" title to our name, the state changed it to a salvage title because of the word "scrap" being written on it. They said that is the only thing they can do. So, this car was branded because of a single word being written on the title. It was NOT accident damaged. We really didn't care to much because we figured by the time our daughter got finished with it, it would probably be ready for the bone yard anyway. So the work began. The car had 122xxx miles on it when we bought it and we started out with finding another motor for it. The donor motor had 92,098 miles on it and came from a car that was in a rear end accident. The new motor was completely gone over by a certified mechanic and a few recommended things were replace. Spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator was rebuilt, new accessory belt and tensioner, oil filter, air filter, oil, and water pump. We were going to put in a new clutch while the motor was out but our mechanic said the clutch looked new and was recently replace. No need to put another new one in. The new motor was put in. Next the car got all new wheel bearings all the way around. New brake discs front and back. Ceramic brake pads. New springs front and back, new shocks in the rear, new struts in the front. Brand new high end Good Year tires all the way around. Remind you that this car was for our daughter and all the parts replaced on this car were of high end and not the cheap stuff. Two new parking brake cables, new muffler, new front end ball joints, new steering outer ball joints, new sway bar bushings, new battery, new cabin filter and new wiper blades and a fresh four wheel alignment. Thousands of dollars later and we finally got the car on the road. Now comes the bad part. Our daughter, who knew it was a standard transmission and was willing to learn how to drive it, hated it. I had her out in the car several times and a standard transmission was simply not for her. College was starting and she needed a car ASAP so we went and bought her another Jetta with an automatic trans and off she went. We've had this car for almost two years now and we put only about 2k miles on it. It needs to go and we are going to take a big loss. I'm starting the bidding at $2500 with no reserve. More about the car. It has some minor dents and scratches in it. The A/C system works great but a seal in the A/C pump is leaking and the freon leaks out over time. Mechanic said to change the pump and all will be fine. The second problem we are having is the check engine light. Our mechanic says the code is emissions and diagnosing it farther, it comes down to a small in line vacuum pump not vacuuming down the fuel tank. It"s working intermittently and needs to be replaced. One of the headlight adjusters is not working properly. These things were going to be fixed but when we decided to buy another car for our daughter, all work stopped on this one as we knew we were going to get shafted on it. The car is being auctioned off just the way it sits. We are not going to put another dime into it. Our guess is that we have a little over $5k into it. PLease feel free to ask questions and come test drive it. More pictures will be posted shortly. Actually, we are kind of glad our daughter didn't take this car. With the six cylinder engine in it, this thing is a fast little car. Thanks for looking. The two pictures with the hood open is minutes after the roll back dropped the car off at our house after we purchased it. Just uploaded several new pictures taken of the car minutes ago. It is loaded with climate control, sun roof, P/S, P/W. P/locks, rain sensing windshield wipers, 5 speed, cruise, tilt wheel, leather interior, heated seats, heated and power mirrors. rear trunk spoiler, remote entry, and more. I just can't think of all of them. Car is located in zip 19510.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
VW announces reworked 6.0 W12 TSI engine
Mon, May 11 2015Nobody makes more engines with a dozen cylinders than the Volkswagen Group. They're W12s, of course, owing to the novel shape of their cylinder banks. Now the German industrial giant has announced a comprehensively reworked version of that engine at the same Vienna Motor Symposium where it presented its new 2.0-liter turbo four. The new W12 retains the same arrangement and the same 6.0-liter displacement, but updates it all with the latest powertrain tech. In place of Audi's FSI direct injection and Bentley's TMPI multi-point injection, the engine has adopted a new TSI system. It's also got a pair of new twin-scroll turbochargers, APS-coated cylinders, a new cooling system, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation, and a stop/start system. And – crucially for application in the upcoming Bentayga – it has an oil circuit designed for off-road use. The revised package now produces 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Considerably more than the 567 hp and 516 lb-ft offered in the Bentley Continental GT W12, but less than the GT Speed, which we suspect will get an even more powerful version of this new engine. It's also more powerful than even the top version of Audi and Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, to make the W12 a more compelling option. Of course that's just as far as the Continental GT is concerned. The W12 has also found use in the Continental GTC and Flying Spur, as well as the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8, and could find further applications under the Flying B emblem and elsewhere in the future. VW says that in the right application (say, in the production version of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, for example), the new twelve-pot could deliver 0-62 times of under four seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour. Volkswagen at the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser: "The car of the future will continue to fascinate people" - CO2 reduction, electromobility and digitalisation are the greatest challenges facing the automotive industry - The future of the internal combustion engine will be characterised by high rpm diesel and high-performance three-cylinder TSI engines - Laser roughening – innovative coating process in large-scale production - New 6.0 W12 TSI with 447 kW (608 PS) – performance and refinement - New generation of EU6 TDI engines for light-duty vehicles Dr.
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
