I initially had this truck listed as a project truck but I am re-listing because of a non payer and I totally mechanically rebuilt this truck. I did some more research and found out that this truck was parked do to a blow head gasket.I mentioned this before but what I did not know there was a rebuilt engine put in and  was never put back on the road. The head gasket blew because of a clogged radiator and bad fan switch.Although I am tired of projects I decided  to fix the problem.I took the head off and everything looked good. From what I can see someone did a rebuild on it because you can still see the hash marks on the cylinder walls where a bubble honer was used.Very clean inside.I do not know what extent was done to the engine but the pistons, valves,and cylinders all looked good. The head was checked and no cracks and is straight.Head was pressure tested and a valve job done.I pop tested the injectors and the spray pattern was excellent and they all popped at 130 bar as they should.Glow plugs were also checked.Injector pump totally rebuilt not just resealed.Viton seals used.New glow plug injectors and relay.So a new timing belt, water pump,radiator,fan switch,and belts were replaced.New clutch and engine and  front transmission seals,master cylinder,brake booster,front and rear wheel bearings,front struts and rear shocks, alternator,front calipers pads, and rotors, rear wheel cylinders and shoes,tie rod ends were also replaced.I flushed the engine out so it is all clean inside.This engine  runs excellent.Tires are excellent on Golf rims.A/C blows cold. I just charged it and it has been converted to 134.It appears to be good but time will tell since it has been sitting a while.So I am not sure of the system.Excellent pressures.Body in really nice condition for it age.It is not perfect but way above average for it age.I had this truck up on my lift and I did not see any damage on the underside showing frame repairs.It is straight. Front horns straight.This is a Texas truck so no rust except for what was mentioned earlier. Truck has been undercoated.There are two spots one by the camper top and the other by the windshield as seen in the pictures but no rust through I can see.There are a couple of dings on the roof.Strut towers are excellent. Bed is in good shape and has not been abused.Tailgate has a small dent but operates just fine.Dash has some cracks and the front glass has been replaced. Back glass is the VW factory sliding window.Hood needs to be adjusted since it looks like someone opened the hood to wide.I can be reached at 817-371-7706 between 9AM-9PM central time.The truck has the actual truck 4 speed which is excellent for a non turbo engine.It runs like a scared rabbit. Hardly any smoke out the exhaust.For those who require a 5 speed I will include it with all that is needed to convert it for an additional 150.00.A lot of work has been done to this truck.With a little body work and a dash cover you will have one nice truck.Baring any parts failure(I use OEM parts when available) this truck should last a long time.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.

VW issues orders for police version of e-Golf

Thu, Sep 11 2014

If the Toyota Prius could be used (in fiction, anyway) as a quiet way to do a drive-by shooting, then a pure electric vehicle should have some silent benefits for the police. It's happening in the real world thanks to the new police-spec VW e-Golf. On display at an international police equipment conference in Germany this week (the Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung), the 5-0-ready EV has a special paint job as well as the required top lights and digital communications gear. VW says the special e-Golf also stands ready to serve the mission of emissions reduction. The powertrain is the same as what you'll find in the civilian e-Golf, which means an 85-kW electric motor that can zip up to 62 miles per hour in 10.4 seconds and a li-ion battery that provides something between 80 and 118 miles of range. We imagine using this little car for a high-speed car chase will shrink that down a bit. Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert Fahrzeuge mit Spezialausstattung auf Polizei-Fachmesse Internationale Premiere: Der e-Golf* als Polizei-Einsatzfahrzeug Der Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert eine breite Palette seiner Fahrzeugmodelle mit speziellen Polizei-Sonderausstattungen auf der 8. Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung. Vertreten sind die Marken Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, SKODA und Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge. Die Volkswagen Leasing GmbH komplettiert als Finanzdienstleister den Konzernauftritt. Die Fachmesse findet vom 9. bis 11. September 2014 auf dem Messegelande in Leipzig statt. Als Messehighlight wird der e-Golf als Polizeieinsatzfahrzeug prasentiert. Damit verfolgt Volkswagen auch in diesem speziellen Fahrzeugsegment das Ziel der Schadstoffreduktion. Die Ausstattung umfasst neben der Sondersignalanlage unter anderem Digitalfunk und das klassische Erscheinungsbild in typisch blauer Beklebung. Ausgestellt werden weiterhin ein Golf Variant, ein T5 und ein Audi Q5 als Funkstreifenwagen sowie ein SKODA Octavia Kombi RS und ein SEAT Leon FR in der zivilen Variante. Fachbesucher finden den Volkswagen Messestand in der Halle 1, Stand H02. Der e-Golf uberzeugt mit einem wegweisend niedrigen Verbrauch von 12,7 kWh/100 km. Der Elektromotor leistet 85 kW/115 PS und entwickelt aus dem Stand maximal 270 Nm Drehmoment. In 4,2 Sekunden werden 60 km/h erreicht, nach 10,4 Sekunden 100 km/h. Die Reichweite liegt je nach Streckenprofil, Fahrweise, Einsatz von Komfort- und Nebenverbrauchern sowie Zuladung zwischen 130 und 190 Kilometern.
