Here are the pros and cons. Pros (Prices taken from Parts Place) - 5 Speed = $200 Mostly New Tires (I replaced all the tires no more than 12,000 ago. They all have good tread). = $109 New Heater Core (As is the case with these older cars, the heater core rusted out and I got radiator fluid all over my floor panels. So I replaced that last winter). = $170 ish New Breaks (Front discs and break pads, and rear break pads all replaced since November). = $100 Radio & Front Speakers (See pic below) = $230 New Injectors, Heat Shields, and Returns = $35 All Radiator Hoses Replaced Since I purchased the car. = $35 Back Left Wheel Bearings (inside and outside) just changed. = $45? Right Drive Shaft Replaced (no more than 12,000 miles ago). Total = $924 that you don't have to spend in parts yourself. -Goodies included - = 24 Timing Belt (I think I bought the tensioner too. That would be another $27) 19 x 4 = 76 Glow Plugs, = 30 Injector Socket, = 12 Break Vacuum Pump Kit, = 40 Compression Tester Total = 182 + 924 = $1100 on parts for the car that you will not need to spend. Cons -Injection Pump needs work (It currently runs, but will die when it is still cold and has an uneven idle when warm. Additionally, it is smoking much more than it should). -Vacuum Pump not working (I have the rebuild kit which would come with the car, just haven't installed it yet. The breaks work, but are stiff without the aid of the pump). -A Few Rust Holes (These are on the passenger side right behind the wheel. See pics below. One of the previous owners dented it there allowing salt to corrode the metal. But for a 34 year-old car that has been in the Mid-west all its life, this is not bad). -Dent (A previous owner hit the back right corner into a pole. I have been working on building it back up, but haven't had time to finish the project. See pic below). -Primer Paint Job (The car was originally silver, but has been painted orange and then primer black. On the negative side, it doesn't look all that pretty. On the positive side, the additional layers of paint have helped preserve the body over the years). -Tail Light Casing Cracked/Chipped (The plastic casing that holds the bulbs is cracked off at points. There is place for two bulbs to be hooked up per tail-light, but only one is currently hooked to each). -Steering Wheel Bearing and Cover (The lower bearing in the steering shaft is missing, which means it clanks when you turn the wheel. Also, the center cover to the steering wheel is missing. See pic below. The horn still works by grounding the horn wire to the metal of the steering wheel). |

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US
Fri, Nov 21 2014Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore
Thu, Jan 11 2024The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery. A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.
