Hello

We are new to eBay so I apologize for the low rating etc but if you have any questions please message me and I will get back to you. We have just done a 4000 mile road trip across Mexico with the vehicle and now we have to sell it fast as we are flying to europe soon.

This is a 1984 VW Transporter / Vanagon / Caravelle van. It has automatic transmission with the original VW/Audi transaxle sytem which is one of the best and most simplest transmission systems ever built. The van has the 2.1liter engine which gives it extra power and reliability and you will not need to do a Waterboxer or Subaru conversion as this little van just flies up any hill with no trouble at all.

It is in good running condition for the age of the vehicle and loads of new parts have only just been fitted by a company In Belize called VW-Belize. (check em out if you want) Brakes, tires, steering, ignition, fuel pump, fuel hoses, and filter, sensors, cooling system, suspension parts, starter motor are all brand new + more. The vehicle drives well and is in good overall functioning order. The van is located in Austin Texas and you can come and see and drive the vehicle any time. Just message me and we can meet up. .

NEW PARTS 2 upper Ball joints, 2 lower Ball joints, 1 Tie rod end, 1 Steering Rack Boot, 2 rear wheel brake cylinders + rebuild kit / hardware kit for drum brakes , 1 seal for brake booster, 1 spark plug wire set, 1 fuel pump , 1 fuel filter, 1 high-pressure fuel hose, 1 master cylinder , 1 Ignition Switch , 1 water temp sensor , 1 brake caliper, 1 set of front brake pads, rear brake pads, 1 set of front brake hoses, 1 fan switch, 1 thermostat housing, 1 thermostat, 1 thermostat gasket set, 1 crankcase breather hose, new starter motor, Ball joints, 2 caliper rebuild kit, break hardware-kit, 2 hatch struts . The brakes have been bled and flushed the cooling system and radiator has been flushed and the thermostat works, the fan comes on automatically as it is supposed to, welding work has been done on wheel arches, column, fender and front panel. The fuel tank has been dropped and washed out and the rubber seals replaced. All work carried out by VW-Belize and receipts for parts and labor available.

When I bought the vehicle it was a non runner. We have now travelled with the van over 4000 miles from Belize to Austin Texas and it runs really well. We have a video of the whole trip so you can see the van in action.

The interior is a bit rough. The back seats are in pretty good shape, the head lining is in very good shape, but the carpet is covered in stains ( I managed to spill my coffee 4 times during the trip. Yes. 4 times) and the front passenger seat is in pretty poor shape and the drivers side is worse. They are all very comfortable though an I had no problem during the 4000 mile trip even after 6 -7 hours of driving.

The body work over all is not bad. There are a few minor dings and dents in it and the paint job is not a professional one and close up you can see some runs in the paint and the old VW stickers show though the blue paint. The bumpers have had a knock or two and one of the tail lights is a little broken as is one of the front indicator lights. Still road legal though.

Known problems. The brakes squeal. They are brand spanking new and work very well and are very strong but they squeal, When we set of on the trip I thought they would stop squealing after a few hundred miles but they are still making noise. I have had the wheels off but I can not find any thing wrong. I am sure your local VW repair place can fix this in two shakes of a lambs tail. The fuel gauge does not work. The speedometer works fine as does the temp gauge but the odometer stopped ticking over about 11000miles ago and I have not been able to fix it. The engine will tend to stall when still cold and the idle is a little rough. I think it needs a new oxygen sensor. (around $80.00 I think) Nothing much but you will need to get this fixed. It always starts first time. Please bear in mind that this van is 30 years old and has lots of little things wrong with it but it is a good solid van that can be driven all day every day, on the highway and in the city, paved and un paved roads. All the essential electrics work fine ( wipers lights etc) but none of the interior lights work.

We may be able to deliver the vehicle to you. We have carried out all checks with the DMV and I can sell you this van and you can get a title in your name no problem.

Any questions please message me.

Cheers

Will

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling. Read and see more at Car News China. Taxi customers in New York will enjoy greater payment flexibility with the new interoperability between RideLinQ and Way2ride apps. Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
