Overall decent Mk1: Actual VIN: WVWGGU160EW126232. (eBay website would not accept the VIN) Decent exterior (west coast minimal rust), a few small dings and small spots on hood but body remarkably straight, great mpg, Interior fair to decent, small damage spots to cloth seats (could use cleaning), dash decent (few if any cracks), runs and drives, cold starts( at 26 degrees this Winter), minimal smoke for old diesel (I noticed a small puff on shifting), trunk lock sticking so temporarily removed, locks work but sticky, windows work (a little stiff), exhaust rattles at idle sometimes, electrical works mostly(needs some work), noticed one dim headlight and flashing glow plug light but glow plugs seem to work fine. Recent work in includes: wheel bearings and brakes, front shocks and tie rods, and steering boots, windshield and seal. Fun to drive as far as handling but these never had much power comparatively. Lots of room to work on this car. I would keep it except I want to buy solar panels while the price is rock bottom. I tried to set the reserve price not too far above starting bid. However, If it does not get close to the price I need for the solar I may pull the ad as I really like this car and they are getting rare! Not many of this chassis left in USA. Plus a 43 mpg car pays for itself in savings. I don't know much more about it but feel free to ask. There is no smog testing here so I do not know if the engine is up to date. I was told the engine had been replaced by former owner. I do not know any more history. It is sold as is as a used vehicle. Thanks for looking

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
