2001 VW Golf TDI 4 door
We love this car so much! We just got a Passat wagon as we decided we finally need more space... We are the second owners, got car at 85,000 miles. Now at 235,000+... we consistently get 46-48 MPG (with a roof rack on!). Recently we took a road trip and got a whopping 52 MPG (still with rack on!).
The Really Good:
-Brand new timing belt and water pump done by VW of Orchard Park on August 23, 2013
-Intake manifold and ERG valve cleaned out by VW of Orchard Park on March 5, 2013
-Panzer Plate Heavy Duty Aluminum Skid Plate Kit installed from Dieselgeek.com
-4 matched snow tires used for one season on newer steel rims
-2 key fobs with a valet key
-manual included
-mp3 cable in glove box (ipod not included:)
-Other things replaced: parking break cables, right front window regulator clips, hatch lock cylinder, fuel door button, front windshield washer nozzles, struts for hatch, armrest, rear window wiper motor, rear brakes and rotors last year
The Bad:
-Surface rust starting. Needs some attention.
-Climate control: fan, heater, and AC DOES NOT WORK! As we were thinking of selling, we decided to fix the AC (the heater and fan had worked well always). Dealer stated we needed a new compressor. Purchased new behr compressor,and receiver/drier from autohausAZ. Local shop installed. Dealer confirmed installation was completely correct. NOW fan, heater, and AC do not work. Dealer troubleshooted for an hour, but we did not want to pay for further diagnosing. They feel it is a computer glitch or a loose connection of some sort. Probably a small fix for someone with the time to find it. Up until this time the heater had worked great and the fan is strong.
-Glove box handle broke (still can open fine)
-Rear window wiper spray does not work
-Homemade rear compartment cover strings that lift it up with the door (works perfectly good)
-Rear plastic interior around hatch is loose from my replacing the rear window motor. All stays in place just fine
-Driver's door lock cylinder is loose, needs pinned
We will be happy to deliver within 100 miles of Salamanca, NY.
Thanks for looking, this car is awesome!

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, 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.
