Up for auction is a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8l Turbo in Reflex Silver.  This car has 198,438 miles. The original transmission has been replaced (I can show receipt).  I have kept a log on everything I have done to this car including oil changes, tire changes, tune-ups, timing belt replacement, etc. The MIL(Malfunction Indicator Lamp)is currently on due to a vacuum leak caused by a bad Brake Booster pump.  This part runs for about $200 on Germanautoparts.com.  It runs fine when accelerating but does experience some engine shutter when stopped or idling.  

Here is a list of the parts I have replaced recently:
  • Transmission replaced @ 186K miles (replacement transmission had 92K miles)
  • New Oil Breather Hose
  • New Air Pressure Regulation Valve (Boost control valve)
  • New Timing Belt, Timing Belt Tensioner @180,084
  • New Water Pump @191,234
  • New Champiro Icepro snow tires @192,586 miles
These are the current fault codes causing the check engine light:
  • P1429:  Activation of Brake Vacuum Pump gear circuit
  • P1297:  Connection charger to throttle valve; pressure dropped
  • P1136:  Bank 1; system too lean
  • P1166:  Engine torque signal
Again, I believe these fault codes are being caused by the bad Brake Booster Vacuum pump.  I have replaced every other part that could have caused the vacuum leak.  I have the original manuals and (2) sets of key fobs.  A Volkswagen fitted cargo mat is also included.  I will also include my VAG Scanner as an extra to the winning bidder.  This car will run like new once the Brake Booster Pump is fixed as I have replaced almost every major part requiring a large investment (transmission job alone was $2,200). 

I average 27-28 MPG on the highway in this Jetta.  Air conditioning still works, ice cold!    

In the interest of full disclosure I have included all the issues known to me.  See arrows in pictures pointing out body damage.  This is my daily commuter car so actual mileage will increase by end of the auction.  The vehicle is sold as is, no warranty.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English

Wed, Dec 14 2016

The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

VW and partner SAIC start building $2.5B Audi plant in China

Fri, Oct 19 2018

BEIJING — Volkswagen AG's China joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp has started building a $2.5 billion new energy vehicle (NEV) plant in Shanghai, which will make VW's luxury Audi brand cars, a possible first for the venture. The new plant is a key step for Audi to diversify production of its cars in the world's largest car market from its long-standing local partner, China FAW Group Corp. This shift has been delayed amid resistance from local dealers. SAIC Volkswagen said the new plant would have an annual capacity to make 300,000 cars and begin production from 2020. Audi sold 481,387 vehicles in China from January to September this year. The announcement comes the same week Tesla secured a Shanghai location for a Gigafactory battery plant to serve the Chinese market. Audi unveiled the plan to bolster ties with SAIC in late 2016. Earlier this year, the Germany luxury carmaker bought a 1 percent stake in the SAIC Volkswagen venture, paving the way for the joint venture to produce and sell Audi cars. Volkswagen currently gets a larger proportion of the proceeds from the 50-50 tie-up with SAIC than from its 40 percent stake in the venture with FAW. SAIC Volkswagen said in a statement on Friday the plant would cost 17 billion yuan ($2.5 billion) and would make VW and Skoda models as well as Audi cars. It will help VW tap China's fast-growing market for NEVs, a category comprising electric battery cars and plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
