2004 Volkswagen Jetta - Manual Transmission - Good Deal! on 2040-cars
Lansing, Michigan, United States
|
I bought this car when I was in grad school out in Tucson, so it's got pretty heavy tint in the windows. It already had an aftermarket CD player installed with an auxiliary jack that's pretty nice for playing music through your phone. The sun/moon roof is also in good shape and is great for Michigan days where it's not quite hot out, but you just want a little fresh air and sunshine in your car!
As I mentioned, this car does have some issues. I got a new job and have had this car for a while, so I'm looking for something new. It also doesn't hurt that I don't like the VW dealership here and refuse to give them any more of my business. The timing belt and turbo have been replaced, as well as the water pump (they usually tell you to replace it at the same time as the timing belt). Lately the power steering has been a little bit growly. It smooths right out when you add some power steering fluid, but like I said, I'm not giving my dealership another dime to fix whatever leak there might be. If I was planning to keep the car for another year, I'd probably get it fixed. The ABS has been out for a while. The brakes still work fine, and I honestly haven't really noticed any difference. I've been using this car as my daily driver since I bought it, and it's been a lot of fun. That being said, it has a number of little scrapes and scuffs around the body. There's damage to the rear passenger wheel well. It's tough to find a stick shift these days, so this would be a great car if you want to learn! It shifts very easily, and the turbo offers some nice pick up when you really want to move. I don't know what else I'm supposed to say...happy bidding! Keep in mind that the car probably needs some repairs. Seems to run fine for me, though. There's a low reserve in case the auction doesn't meet what I was offered for a trade-in on a new vehicle. Good Luck! Bid Early! Bid Often! This vehicle is being relisted because the previous winning bidder had issues with the terms of the auction. Please review the item condition, description, and payment terms. If you have any questions or concerns, I would be more than happy to address them before the end of the auction. Finally, bid what you feel the car is worth - this is an auction, not a classified ad! |

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
