2002 Volkswagen Passat Gls 1.8t Project Car, Needs Work on 2040-cars
Marietta, Pennsylvania, United States
2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T. Please note that this car is not driveable. I bought the car in the same condition and was told that it needed a water pump. So I had a water pump installed along with a new timing belt kit and the car still ran the same way. The problem is that the car will overheat, sometimes quickly and sometimes not for 30 miles. The motor does not knock and there is not a bearing problem. Someone suggested that the turbo may be leaking so I also had the turbo replaced, still runs the same way. My guess is now that either the head gasket or the head itself is bad. Also the transmission sometimes shifts a little harder than it should, read that the cause for that that is fluid level is low. It does shift thru all the gears tho. The body of the car is very nice and also the interior is very clean, especially for a light color. I hate to give up on the car especially since I have a good bit invested, but right now I have alot of medical bills and Im not working so it will be awhile before I could get back to fixing it so Im willing to take a loss on it. I also want to mention that sometimes the brake light and abs light is on and the airbag light is on, never got around to trying to figure any of that out, was worried about the overheating issue first. There is a factory cd changer in it and it also has some kind of suspension kit on it, I dont know what kind it is, it is coil over and adjustable I know that. Perfect car for someone that knows how to fix Volkswagens, visually it is still very nice. |

Audi, Fiat squabbling over numbers and letters
Mon, Jan 19 2015There have been rumors and speculation and prognostications about a Nissan Juke- and Mini Cooper-fighting Audi Q2 since 2012. There have been the same for a performance-oriented Q4 since 2011, perhaps previewed by the TT Offroad concept shown last year at the Beijing Motor Show. Turns out that those two alphanumeric combos are the only ones missing from the series Q1 to Q9 in Audi's trademark stable, and the Ingolstadt company wants to get them to make its badge sequence and crossover lineup complete. But Fiat owns them, and rumor is, CEO Sergio Marchionne appears to have no interest in selling them. Fiat has used the Q2 and Q4 like trim badges, identifying whether a company product has two-wheel or all-wheel drive. They did it with the Alfa Romeo 159 sedan, and they do it now on the Maserati Quattroporte S and Ghibli S Q4 sedans. Car magazine says Marchionne "may not be categorically opposed to selling the rights," but he absolutely won't do it to any fiefdom in the Volkswagen empire, which would leave Audi a jilted suitor. Why is Sergio being so serious? VW Group CEO Ferdinand Piech first starting waving torches on the bridge between the two companies when he said Alfa Romeo could sell four times as many cars if Volkswagen owned it, then burned the bridge when it continued to publicize its desire to buy Alfa Romeo. VW followed that up by throwing salt on the land around the destroyed bridge with its aggressive pricing in Europe during the worst of the car sales slump there, which Marchionne said was causing a "bloodbath." VW's final flourish was to set the river itself on fire, when a press officer said Marchionne wasn't qualified to head the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA) and VW would quit the organization if he did take the top spot. That is why, putting it optimistically, Audi looks to have a grim chance of getting the Q2 and Q4 marques from the Italian. So long as he is in power, at least: Marchionne said he's walking away from the job in 2018. Audi might have a better chance bending the knee to, and generously rewarding, his successor.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
