2002 VW JETTA WAGON 5 SPEED DIESEL, I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE AND NEVER BROKE DOWN. CAR HAS 199,034 MILES BUT FEELS LIKE A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES! THE ENGINE RUNS PERFECT, GEARBOX AND CLUTCH FUNCTION AND ENGAGE AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES, STEERING IS TIGHT AND SUSPENSION GOOD, AC BLOWS COLD, CAR IS VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW WITH NO VIBRATIONS OR NOISES. I DRIVE CAR PRETTY EASY WITH A MIX OF AROUND TOWN AND SOME HIGHWAY, AND TYPICALLY AVERAGE 45 MPG FOR MOST TANKS. THE WORST I EVER GOT WAS 43 MPG DOING 75MPH A/C GOING WITH 4 PEOPLE, 4 BIKES ON THE HITCH AND LUGGAGE IN THE BACK. BEST TANK WAS 46 NOT MUCH A/C USE AND AROUND TOWN STOP AND GO AND UNDER 60MPH DRIVING. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DRIVE YOU SHOULD EXPECT 43-45MPG.THIS CAR HAS THE VERY DESIRABLE 5 SPEED GEARBOX THAT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THE AUTOMATIC. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS CAR I OWNED AN AUTOMATIC, AND THE BEST I COULD MANAGE WAS 39 MPG. UPON PURCHASE OF THIS CAR MY FIRST TANK WAS 6 MPG BETTTER! CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS AND RECEIPTS ALONG WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND 2 SETS OF ORIGINAL KEYS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO 20K AGO WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING WITH THESE CARS BETWEEN 150K AND 200K OR AROUND 10 YEARS OLD(HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY OTHER ONE). TIRES ARE BFG TOURING TA LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE AND ONE OF THE BEST TIRES MADE. TIRES HAVE 80% TREAD, ROTORS REPLACED 20K AGO, TIMING BELT REPLACED AT 172,000, ALTERNATOR AT 189,000, CLUTCH REPLACED IN 2009. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ORIGINAL PAINT. CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND IT SHOWS, JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES! EVERYTHING WORKS ON THIS CAR AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. BEING A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THERE IS SOME WEAR AND TEAR TO BE EXPECTED. THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON THE REAR HATCH TO THE LEFT OF THE WIPER THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL RUST BUBBLE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE REAR WINDOW. THE DRIVER SEAT HAS SOME WEAR AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, BUT STILL VERY NICE. MORE PICS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. CAR HAS NO LEAKS OR UNUSUAL SMELLS, STAINS, RATTLES, ETC.. THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS MY FAMILY IS GROWING, AND WE NEED MORE ROOM FOR THE KIDS AND ALL THEIR STUFF. THE HITCH ON THE BACK WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING, BUT WAS USED FOR OUR BIKE RACK. IT IS A CUSTOM MADE HITCH WITH A 2 1/2 RECEIVER AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY TRAILER WIRING. I CAN REMOVE HITCH IF BUYER DOESN'T WANT IT.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Bosch fuel pumps spark recall of 2015 Golf, GTI and Audi A3

Tue, Apr 28 2015

A few weeks ago, BMW and Nissan both issued recalls for some of their vehicles to replace Bosch-supplied fuel pumps. The pumps had nickel plating that could flake off and cause a failure. Volkswagen Group is the latest automaker to be affected by the problem and has a campaign for the 2015 Audi A3, VW Golf and GTI. In total, 6,204 units of these models are in need of repair. The problem with the VW Group vehicles is identical to the previous recalls. It's possible for the pump's nickel plating to come off and cause increased friction. Eventually, this can result in the component's failure. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), there are no reports of accidents or injuries from this issue in the VW Group models. Bosch spokesperson Linda Beckmeyer tells Autoblog that these vehicles don't all necessary share an identical fuel pump, but the parts all use the same plating process. The problem also prompted repairs of the 2014 Ford Escape several months ago, she indicated. When asked if the issue could prompt more campaigns, Beckmeyer said that she "can't speak to that" because automakers decide on the recalls. Owners should receive notice of the problem soon, but according to the NHTSA documentation, there currently aren't enough pumps to fix all of these vehicles. "Bosch is working closely with automakers regarding replacement parts," Beckmeyer said. When available, dealers will replace the components free of charge for affected customers. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Improper Plating may cause Fuel Pump to Fail Report Receipt Date: APR 17, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V229000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 6,204 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) AUDI A3 2015 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2015 VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2015 Details Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing. CONSEQUENCE: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps, free of charge.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
