Selling my 2004 Volkswagon Jetta TDI Diesel with automatic transmission with only 136,900 miles on it. This is the GLS fully loaded model equipped with the following: leather, power windows, power locks, heated seats, monsoon sound system, on-star system, upgraded factory rims, sun roof, etc. **Please contact me via text, phone or ebay message with any questions - CHRIS 713-702-7984**

I purchased this just over a year ago when I was commuting a lot for work - these little turbo diesel VWs get well over 40mpg which really helps if you have a long commute. I've since changed jobs and am not commuting as far. So, for the past few months this has just been a 3rd vehicle which has been in the way which is why I'm selling it.

Highlights listed below:
- clean and clear blue Texas title
- new Texas inspection and registration stickers
- written documentation in owners manual for routine maintenance performed by previous owners
- timing belt replaced by dealer at 100k miles and documented in owners manual with dealer sticker
- Both front CV joints replaced earlier this year and have lifetime warranty
- Lower front A-arm/control arm bushings replaced with upgraded components last fall
- Coolant reserve tank replaced earlier this year
- Brakes were replaced just prior to me purchasing the car a year ago and ~7k miles ago.
- EGR delete kit installed earlier this year (common modification as it discourages soot/carbon build up in the intakes of these engines and since EGR cooler is removed prevents expensive failures/repairs of that system from occurring). I will give you all the EGR components that were removed from the car if you want them.

Overall the car is in good shape and ready to hit the road and start saving you money on fuel. When I bought this car last year I looked at quite a few others before purchasing this one and all the others had much higher mileage, mechanical issues, needed the timing belts replaced (expensive), were ragged out, previously wrecked, had salvage titles, etc. It was hard for me to find one of these TDIs in this good of condition. Having said that, there are a few imperfections that I consider minor with this car - those are: two spots on drivers seat, minor/typical door dings/scratches on outside, a rock chip at bottom of windshield, lid for center console doesn't latch properly (only an issue when armrest/console is raised to vertical position), and the drivers side power seat doesn't work.

Located in Deer Park, Texas which is only about 25 minutes East of downtown Houston. Asking $8,000 OR BEST OFFER. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks, Chris 713-702-7984.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
