2005 Vw Passat Turbo Diesel Many Extras on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
|
HI! Up for sale I have a 2005 TURBO DIESEL VW Passat. I have owned this car for 3 years. I am the third owner. Since I have owned the car I have fixed everything that has or could go wrong. Mechanically: this car runs and drives VERY smooth. The transmission was replaced and installed NEW in 2012. $4000 (receipt to prove) all work done by VW. Next, I replaced the notorious (for this year) Camshaft. Since I had the head off this car I replaced all valves, guides, and followers essentially a BRAND NEW head (1800$). I then replaced all belts, tensioners, and gaskets (intake/exhaust/valve cover) with brand new OEM equipment (all ordered from BORAparts.com). Brand new GATES timing belt, timing tensioner, serpentine belt, serpentine tensioner. Last I replaced the tires, brakes, and the starter ( the old starter was ok but slowly going out, the new one has a LT warranty from Oreilleys) The only other issue that I had was the flap motor (another notorious failure of this car) I replaced this with the new upgraded flap motor from BORAparts.com ($490). All of this work has been done within the last 5000 miles in my shop by Everett and Brett Palmer (please feel free to read up on either of them in TDI forums user name is diesales one of the best TDI Techs around). The last of the notorious BHW failures is the much controversial Balance Shaft issue. Brett Palmer pulled off the cover to the oil pump and verified the Balance Shaft is in PERFECT mechanical condition. Some cars have it but many do not. Many of these Passats that have over 300 even 400,000 miles with the original Balance shaft. I believe there was a bad "batch" of Passats that had this unfortunate Balance shaft issue. Rest assured, mine has been inspected by a TRUSTED Mechanic and has been cleared as mechanically perfect. Fresh oil, coolant as well as air filter oil filter fuel filter and cabin filter were all done within the last 5000 miles. The car had an alignment done within the last 10,000 miles and drives beautifully down the road. This car is ready for another 100,000 miles!!!! Interior: The interior of this car is a 8.5/10. The leather seats are still in great condition with no rips. The heated elements work great on both driver and passenger side. The carpet is VERY nice considering the mileage. The original carpet mats are still in VERY good condition as well. Monsoon stereo cd/tape player. Steering wheel controls for the stereo are an extra benefit to this car. Automatic windows and locks, as well as automatic sunroof. Exterior: The paint on this car is absolutely beautiful. The previous owners took extremely well car of this vehicle. I have a two inch stack of maintenance paperwork that included EVERY 10,000 maintenance from 10,000 all the way to 190,000 and any replacement in between. The tires have 90% tread life left on 80,000 mile rated all season tires. These tires include transferable warranty thought discount tire. Equipped with ESP, in conjunction with the tires, there is nothing this car cant plow through rain or snow this winter season. The only flaw to the exterior is a 12 inch by 1 inch dent in the rear passenger door. This car needs NOTHING. Hop in and drive anywhere. Highway mileage is 42mpg, city is around 35mpg. This is a very luxurious Turbo Diesel car, in excellent condition. Car is currently located in Ida, MI (just north of Toledo, OH) Feel free to email or call with any questions. 419-345-1732 |

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
VW teams up with legendary electronic musicians Kraftwerk for 3D Autobahn concert
Fri, Jan 9 2015Electronic music fans know Kraftwerk. To paraphrase a famous TV anchor, they're kind of a big deal. The band is in the midst of an eight-concert show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, which includes a full 3D accompaniment. Why, you ask, is this on Autoblog, then? Well, Volkswagen is sponsoring it, highlighting the role that its iconic Beetle played on the band's equally iconic fourth album, Autobahn. And besides, it's Friday afternoon, and who doesn't want to listen to the soothing synth notes of early EDM pioneers? Check out the featurette on the connection between VW and Kraftwerk, and then for giggles, scroll down and give the first track of Autobahn a listen. This content is hosted by a third party.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
