Welcome!!!You are viewing my 2002 Volkswagen Passat GLX Station Wagon. These are hard to find with low mileage. The mileage just hit 104k miles, which is very low for a 2002. This is the V6 2.8 Engine. It has a lot of power and great gas mileage. About 25 MPG. You can tell the engine is in great working order, running so smooth with such acceleration and power. Doesnt drive like a typical slow Station Wagon. This V6 is FAR SUPERIOR than the 1.8 Turbo version, you may see. That engine always blows turbos and has smoking problems. NOT MINE! The 2.8 is the more durable engine. Another great factor is the Front Wheel Drive system. This is more than enough in the snow/rain, and handles great, with its very balanced power to weight ratio. This FWD system is much better than the AWD Passats, for the simple reason that the AWD versions ALWAYS break transmissions at low mileages. Its common sense, since the 4 wheels are turning, its more pressure on the transmission, which is why they break on the AWD Passats. NOT MINE! The FWD transmissions are known easily to last over 200K miles without any questions asked. In the end, the car is very cheap to maintain. And this wagon is set up to last for years, with minimal costs. Ive only owned for about a year, but I never really used it too much. I just fixed a few things, like new axles, new brakes, brand new battery, oil changes, engine valve cover gaskets and brand new engine mounts. These are all expected wear items at about 100k miles, which have been changed. The timing belt/water pump was done early at about 50k miles, since dealers usually say about 60k miles. I have not changed it, though the previous owner did. If you would like me to change it again, and show you receipts and leave old parts in the car. I will do so for an extra $500.Which will include Timing Belt, Timing Belt tensioner, and Water pump. I will not throw it in. Timing belt jobs, can run up to $2000 at the dealer. I have a friend who owns a German repair shop, right down the block from my house. PRICE IS $4950!!!PRICE IS NON NEGOTIABLE AND FIRM. These are in the books for about $6000 to $6500. The body/paint has regular expected wear/tear. Few scratches, small dings as shown. You can clearly see. Im hiding nothing. The rear bumper has some scuffs, from a incident years ago. The car has never been in any major accident ever. There has never been any kind of paintwork done. Its original. The inside leather is in real nice shape, with wear, but no tears. I can easily arrange low cost shipping to surrounding states or across country. If you want to purchase it right away, without losing to someone else, call me at 516-996-5252, and I will work with you on the arrangements. If you want to fly in, the closest airports are JFK or LGA. LGA is the cheaper/closer one. PLEASE Call if your serious, and please dont email me a bunch of questions, if your not a real serious buyer.

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes

Sun, 06 Jan 2013

The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
