If you have any questions please email at: georgianngvvillacorta@ukmm.com . This is my second v-10 TDI. When i was blessed w 3 kids in a short period of time back in 2006 i made the mistake
of selling my 1st TDI and trying to pretend i could accept a minivan. The guy before me paid $85,000 sticker price.
There are only a couple hundred of these cars in existence in the U.S. and it is most definitely a collectors item.
The car has never been in an accident and over 28 years neither have I.
In addition to aforementioned options and maintenance last fall i had the drive shaft replaced which is a common
item to fail according to TDI forums around 75K miles. Also don't discount the 2 new batteries. Its an $1,900 job
to do w factory OEM batteries which this car has. The car needs nothing and has given me zero problems other than
the drive shaft breaking up. In Spring-14 i had new brakes and rotors all around done which was about 8K miles ago
rubber and pads are new all around.
This car is a monster and you wouldn't know it unless you had the guts to keep your foot to the floor. She pushes
620ft lb of torque as only a TDI does, as long as you can have the balls to keep your foot down. Unlike a gasoline
engine there are almost imperceptible shift points, the acceleration is unrelenting. And she will pull like that
with 2,5, or 10K lbs in tow just the same. For the record I only towed once for a friend and as i mentioned above
the hitch is factory and prewired.
Lets just say the AWD system mated to this twin turbo v-10 diesel is really impressive. The quality and
workmanship inside and out is very German. When the turbos spin up and you have the windows down you can hear the
whistle of these things spinning up anyone walking down the street knows this is not just another Toureg. I have
been stuck in 2-3' of snow up in NH or the Northeast on some fairly epic snowstorms the past two winters and this
truck at >6,000lbs is a tank in the snow. Holds the line and never ever gets stuck, not once. Even more
impressive to me is who she tracks at the limit in the ice and snow very assuring and easy to read. How well does
the AWD work? Watch a v-10 TDI pull a duramax monster truck down the road search toureg tdi truck pull on youtube.
The car is unmodified and as you can see by the pictures in showroom new condition. I am a pilot and well you can
expect this car has been treated like a private jet because it has. Why am i selling? Answer: I'm not sure
exactly yet. My kids have horses and well if i'm going to be towing a bunch or stinky horse people around its
probably not a great use of this high end luxury SUV.

VW consumer site finally gets configurator tool back

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The traditional vehicle configurator is back on the Volkswagen US consumer website, and it works very well. The company now lets visitors create a virtual model to their own specs and then search for a match among dealer inventories, as is the norm from most automakers. Last summer, Volkswagen tried to break the mold with its thoroughly redesigned consumer website in the US. It sported a slick design but made the highly controversial change of removing the configurator. Instead, visitors were narrowing their selection from a searchable database of models already at dealers. While the streamlined approach immediately told users if their desired car was available, the system also largely hid the prices for options and packages. The newly tweaked design retains the previous tablet-oriented layout, but after clicking a model, the site immediately offers "Build Yours." From there, visitors select a trim, and then the vehicle pops up with options to choose things like colors and packages. The whole layout is clean, features large buttons and works quickly. At the summary page, there's still the opportunity to search for the user's choice in dealer inventories. This is definitely a major improvement.

Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
