2001 Volkswagen Jetta Rare Glx Vr6 With 5 Speed Manual No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:149683
Location:

 I am selling my rare 2001 Jetta GLX. These are top of the line for the Jetta's. It has power everything including sunroof, heated leather seats, Monsoon stereo, etc. I will give you a breakdown of everything on the car:

Mechanics: The car has 149683 on the odometer. The car runs great with plenty of power. It has a 5 speed manual transmission and VR6 engine. The check engine light is on and it reads emissions workshop on the onboard computer. I am assuming this means it needs an O2 sensor. I just replaced the seals for the oil cooler, put a new coil pack on it (old one had a crack), and new Bosch Iridium plugs. It has a small coolant leak that I believe is coming from the "crack pipe." Besides those two issues everything is great on the car. All the power works and has a great sounding stereo for factory. It has brand new BF Goodrich tires all the way around.

Body: Body is in pretty good shape. There are no major dents on the car. The driver side fender has some peeling clear coat on the top and there are two small spots on the front of the hood that the paint was chipped and it has some surface rust that can be knocked off and touched up. There is no rust on the frame or anywhere on the body.

Interior: The interior is in great shape on the car. The seats are perfect with no tears or rips anywhere. The dash does not have any cracks in it anywhere. The floors are clean with just a vacuum needed to make it perfect. The trunk carpet is good as well. I think the front seats had covers on them most of the time and the covers are still in the trunk.

All in all the car is in good shape and is fun to drive. I bought it as a gas saver due to my other vehicle being a full size truck. I just do not know very much about VW so I am selling it to buy a car I know more about how to work on. I do have it for sale or trade locally so if it is gone before the auction ends then I will end the auction.  If you have any questions about the car you can email, call, or text me, 864-254-8572

I took the car to Auto Zone today to have them read the check engine light because I noticed it had a little skip. They hooked up the OBDII and it is not an O2 sensor that is bad. It is actually the Cam Shaft Position sensor. I thought this was good news because the part is $68 on ebay, see the link below, which is cheaper than the O2 sensor. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-Porsche-VW-EuroVan-Jetta-Phaeton-Touareg-Engine-Camshaft-Position-Sensor-/190707088822?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2001%7CMake%3AVolkswagen%7CModel%3AJetta%7CSubmodel%3AGLX%7CEngine+-+Liter_Display%3A2.8L&hash=item2c67073db6&vxp=mtr

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power

Thu, Feb 27 2014

No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.
