In my opinion, overall, this is a "good condition" vehicle, especially when considering the mileage.  It has been fantastic for me and a pleasure to drive.  I have been the sole owner and I assure all interested parties there have been no accidents.  Also, if you are familiar with 2002 Passats, you'll be happy to know this vehicle has been fully serviced with all VW recommended maintenance thru 100k miles including timing belt replacement and cooling pump replacement.  Currently, the exhaust sounds a little louder than usual, suggesting a new muffler is required.  Also, the dash shows a "check engine" light which has been identified by VW Service as requiring a first-stage oxygen sensor replacement.  I am including the oxygen sensor part, however, I currently live too far from a dealership/service center to reasonably submit the vehicle for service.  Therefore, cost of parts and labor for replacing the muffler, and labor for replacing the sensor, will be the responsibility of the auction winner.  VW also recommends replacing the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal to resolve a minor oil leak. I am not including parts for this as, in my opinion, the leak is too minor to require maintenance.  Cost of parts and service for replacement of the valve cover gasket and cam adjuster seal will be at the discretion of, and at the expense of, the auction winner.  I estimate the brakes will need servicing in the next 15k miles.  The tires are mid-life with another 30k miles of expected use under normal driving conditions.  Finally, the Homelink panel for garage door opening/closing has come loose from the visor and requires replacement.  I have always used a separate system, but if you like or need to use Homelink you may want to consider this.  I do not have estimated costs for any of the above.  I have made every effort to fully disclose any issues with this vehicle.  I think if you are looking for a good, reliable vehicle for a low price, this will be perfect for you.  Please consider this vehicle for auction AS IS.  There is no warranty, expressed or implied.  Now you know everything I know about this awesome little sedan, except for what it's like to drive... I hope you get to find out.  Good luck on your bid!

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
