1986 VW Jetta Diesel 2 Door with WVO Conversion
This is a great little car that gets amazing mpg's, almost 50. It is solid and still running strong.
Cars runs and drives up to fourth gear. Transmission won't go into 5th and the clutch feels light but it still works fine. A friend of mine said that losing fifth gear is common as a bushing wears and the gear slides out of alignment.
Car has been garaged most all of its winters. There are a couple rust spots (which are NOT growing) but amazingly very little for a 27 year old car (see photos).
Check out photos of the clean doors and door sills!
Previous owner installed a DIY veggie oil kit. He said it works fine. I never used it As you can see in the photos the installation was much less than professional. Five gallon bucket in trunk you flip the switch and it starts pumping in oil. Wiring in engine compartment needs a neatening up.
Battery cable needs replaced as it is too short.
Exhaust has a leak.
Battery is older and will need replaced if you run it in the winter.
Temperature warning light blinks even when it's cold.
Sun visor needs replaced.
Glowplugs work, she starts right up and purrs.
Previous owner re-painted her flat grey (she used to be burgundy).
Tires are almost full tread.
All glass is good.
Brakes stop her fine..
Emergency brakes work but needs some linkage work where it connects to handle (see pic).
Tires are 80+ percent full tread with a good spare.
No fuel leaks.
I want to keep and work on this car but I have four other vehicles on the road and need to downsize the fleet. Can't do it all.
Please arrange for pick up. No guarantee it will go long distance but if it was me, and I was taking back roads (with no fifth) I'd try it. I may be more adventurous than some. That being said it would be best to trailer the car home.
$500 deposit through Paypal or a cashiers check within 48 hours of auction close. Balance as cash at pickup.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and thank you for stopping by.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand
Wed, Jun 3 2020Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
