1984 Vw Rabbit Diesel Volkswagen on 2040-cars
Rolla, Missouri, United States
|
I bought this car new in 1984 The engine is original and is worn out (lots of blow by). I purchased a used engine from a 1981 diesel with the intention of installing it in this car. both engines and transmissions are included in this auction. the 1981 engine was rebuilt professionally and has less than 1000 mile on the overhaul the car it was in was wrecked and then parked by the owner for about 20 years. before removing the engine from the car i just bumped the starter to be sure it was free and to my astonishment it started and ran fine. after removing it and striping it down to the block i noticed that the freeze plugs where missing? i presure checked it as best i could and found no cracks so i believe that they just rusted out. about 15 years ago and less than 2000 miles I replaced the following. All suspension bushing bearings and struts, all brake hardware hoses and lines including the master cylinder. rack and pinion. rebuilt the injector pump and injectors. has been sitting in my yard for at least 5 years I cannot guarantee that some of these items will not need to be addresses again especially the brakes. I know the rear brakes are locked up due to rust but will probably free up with a little coaxing. The sun roof drains are stopped up and it has had some water intrusion to the interior as a result. the Head liner was replaced but has fallen down again due to the moisture. All of the parts are included you get two complete engines and transmissions. This was my first brand new car and it is hard for me to let it go but there is just not enough time to put it back together as well as I am tired of hearing my wife complain about it sitting in the yard.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually 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.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
