1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Mechanicsville, Virginia, United States
As far as I can tell, I am the 4th owner of this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. The first two owners apparently lived out west (beginning as a new dealer sold vehicle in 1990). The 3rd owner was my neighbor's son (near Richmond, VA) --- who bought the van in the 2000-2001 timeframe. He had the engine rebuilt in Denver (very solid rebuild job) just before I bought it from him. From 2001 through 2011, I steadily replaced many parts in the Vanagon. Some were necessary repairs but many were replacements that I carried out because I simply wanted to improve the reliability of the van --- and because the components were still available and relatively cheap at the time (no longer the case for many of the parts that I purchased early in my ownership history). I have replaced the following components: All Standard "Tune Up" Parts Battery Standard 4 speed Manual Transmission (with rebuilt transmission) Alternator (Rebuilt Bosch) Steering Gear Power Steering Pump All Hoses Disc Brake Calipers, Disc Brake Pads, Rear Brake Shoes Complete Rear Drive Axles, CV Joints, etc. Radiators --- both Front and Rear A/C Compressor and Most Key A/C Components A/C Hoses Gas Tank Special Gas Tank Air Emissions Relief Hoses Master Brake Cylinder Clutch Slave Cylinder Fuel Injectors Fuel Pump Distributor Miscellaneous Transmission Linkage Parts Miscellaneous other parts (not listed above) Complete external paint job Aftermarket radio/tape player Added New Carpeting Shipping & Payment: Pick Up Only.

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe
Fri, Dec 12 2014Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.
