VERY RARE V10 TWIN-TURBO DIESEL WITH LOW MILEAGE. Hi, we have decided to sell our 2004 V10 Diesel Volkswagen Touareg with only 85,173 miles on it. It was primarily her car and she, being a substitute school teacher, drove this back and forth to the various schools in our area with the occasional trip out of town. This car has been meticulously maintained by our local Volkswagen dealership with all maintenance done at the specified intervals. We are the second owner and purchased this vehicle with a little over 7000 miles on it.
This vehicle is one of the finest examples of German engineering and is highly sought after because of its rarity and fine reputation. It has a very powerful 315bhp twin-turbocharged diesel engine with a HUGE 553lb-ft. of torque which is better that most trucks have. This is a heavy SUV and full of all sorts of safety features. Despite its weight it gets excellent fuel mileage at 22-26 mpg Highway and 18-20mpg around town. It is a very comfortable and easy-to-drive vehicle for in town driving or open road touring. This model has the 'winter package' which has both front and back, left and right individual climate controls. It even has a pass-through from the rear luggage area through the back seat complete with bag for skis and poles for ski buffs.
It has every option available including navigation (NAVI) with discs that include all USA and Canada, premium factory sound system with the optional 6-disc cd player, keyless entry with two remotes, front and rear parking sensors, power heated memory front seats with three memory settings, heated steering wheel which is also power adjustable, heated and remote controlled outside mirrors, and it even has a cooling feature in the glove box to keep a water bottle cold. It features an adjustable/removeable luggage rack, all-weather floor mats and rear cargo tray. It also has the powered moon roof and window shades for the rear door windows.
This has the Tip-Tronic automatic transmission with a manual mode. It has adjustable height suspension for off-road use (which we never used). It also has high and low speeds in four wheel drive mode. The tires are NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER All-Terrain tires with a little over 20,000 miles on them so still have good tread life (see pictures). It is a non-smoker vehicle and interior upholstery is in excellent condition.
The outside finish has minor imperfections from normal road use but is in overall very good to excellent condition. This has been one of the best cars we have ever owned and it is with regret that we are selling but it is time to move on. It is a bargain compared to the new ones which I believe are in the 70k+ range and with such low mileage should give someone years of enjoyment. I have included lots of pictures to show as much as possible about this vehicle. This vehicle has never been in an accident.

VW's Skoda says Ukraine partner making wire harnesses again
Tue, Mar 22 2022PRAGUE — Skoda Auto, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Tuesday its supply partner in Ukraine had decided to restart production of wire harnesses which should allow the Czech carmaker to resume production of its electric ENYAQ iV model. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has added to supply chain problems for global automakers — which were already struggling with semiconductor shortages that have cut production — with a break in deliveries of wire harnesses from the war-torn country. While Skoda, the Czech Republic's biggest exporter, said it expects the supply of semiconductors to improve in the second half of 2022, it said the war in Ukraine and supply bottlenecks will put a significant burden on its operating business. Skoda's 2021 deliveries fell 12.6% year-on-year and earlier this month it stopped production of the ENYAQ because of harness shortages, saying that two other models were at risk because of the lack of availability of the component. "Our partner ... in Ukraine decided to restart production of wire harnesses this week, with full service and full security for workers there," Karsten Schnake, Skoda's board member for purchasing, said during its online 2021 earnings presentation. Wire harnesses form a key part of a car's electrical system, which group and guide cables inside the vehicle. "We decided to double the production in case something is going wrong, and this production will be ramped up in an alternative factory," Schnake said, adding that work there would start in three or four weeks. "Hopefully we can restart production of ENYAQ one or two weeks later when we have wire harnesses," Schnake said. Skoda delivered 878,200 cars worldwide in 2021, the first time that this had fallen below the 1 million mark since 2013. Nevertheless, the VW group brand's sales revenue rose 3.9% to 17.7 billion euros ($19.5 billion) in 2021 and operating profit rose 43.2% to 1.1 billion euros ($1 billion) as it took cost measures. Skoda did not give a financial or production outlook, saying there were still considerable uncertainties as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the impact on its Russian operations. Skoda, like VW, has suspended production and other business activities in Russia, which was its second-largest market last year, with 90,400 vehicles delivered.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO
Fri, Feb 27 2015Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."
