tow hitch receiver is installed, black headliner just done, tan leather interior driver seat has some rips for the most part good for age. I have several extras that go with this car let me try to think of them all.  Black dashboard, 17" take 5 vw beetle wheels, spare trunk lid that does not have a spoiler or spoiler holes, Rare aftermarket side mirrors wrapped in carbon fiber and matte black vinyl, rare good looking side skirts unpainted, rare rear window spoiler wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl, Bently repair manual, stock air intake, stock coolant hose, stock aux water pump (still good) billet aluminum "crack" coolant pipe, stock radio, That is about all I can think of right now but if I find something else ill throw it in with the deal. I put a Alpine am/fm media player radio in this car and the wiring was tricking to maintain the factory bose amp but it is a professional quality install. I have many documented receipts for service, repairs, and parts that I keep in a folder and you will get them all. The roof is wrapped in a digital camouflage printed vinyl w/ paint is dead logo ghosted into it. The hood had a "gangsta granny" vinyl wrap from a Paint is Dead music video shoot from 201wrap aka identity design feel free to youtube it its awesome. But I pealed the hood wrap and there is still some adhesive residue on it that can be cleaned off. The car is tastefully and minimally modified. The windows are tinted a little on the dark side but I have never been pulled over for them. I drove this car from tampa to Jacksonville from Jacksonville to savannah many many times and from Jacksonville to texas 2 times never had a problem on any of those trips.  This car was my daily driver from the day I bought it till I would say the middle of 2013 when I bought a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 then I still drove the vw just not as much. I do a lot of hunting and when on a alligator hunting trip a "friend"s truck was stolen so I let him use my car to get back and to work.  When in his possession it started a coolant leak so the car went back to my vw mechanic and they fixed the coolant hose leak that ran to the oil cooler and replaced the oil cooler gasket also. The same day my "friend" picked up the car from the mechanic he called me and said it started leaking oil so the car went back to the mechanic but his insurance check came in and he bought a used truck and left my car sitting at the mechanic so I had to pay the $40 to get the car from the mechanic since they said the oil leak was not from them working on the oil cooler and they suggested I tow it home so I rented a uhaul and towed it home. The car still starts runs and drives but with the oil leak the mechanic recommends fixing it before driving it on a regular basis.  The mechanic thinks its from the timing chain cover also thinks timing chain guide may be broke but did not give me a 100% diagnosis with out paying labor time for a proper diagnosis. I have a MK6 Jetta for my wife and that will have to fill my vw fix as I just want to call it a day with this mk3 every time I look at it I just get real frustrated thinking how my "friend" screwed me over.  I am a Eagle Scout and in Boy Scouts as a leader with my son and I like to look for the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt and not think of the negative, call me na?ve I guess but at the time my friend and I were close we did a lot of hunting together and he just got full time custody of his son and landed a new good job after loosing the job he had because he did not make it to work when his truck was stolen, even his own mother would not loan him a vehicle and the thing that kills me is since he bought his truck I have not heard a thing from him.  The Sunroof track broke but I replaced the entire sunroof and will also give you the old sunroof as the glass is still good in it.  The odometer messed up and I had to replace it with one showing about 13K more miles than the car really has I have documented the miles that were on the odometer that was removed and the one that replaced it. Oh yeah the car has a newer shark fin style antenna.  The cruise control did work but has stopped my vw mechanic thinks it could be the stalk control unit. The heater core is bypassed because the outside plastic broke when my mechanic was putting on the samco hoses. The ac and all worked great when loaned to my friend. Headlights work, tail lights work, blinkers work reverse lights work, windshield wipers work, fog lights work driver side is missing the lens cover between the fog and turn light. The power windows work other than the driver rear does not but that reminds me that i have some extra power motors w/ regulators for the windows. I have the owners manual. The car is being sold as is and has no reserve! This car has great potential to be a hot VW just throw some air ride on it and a nice set of wheels and boost it ... oh Ill even throw in a Holset Big Turbo if the bid gets over $2800.00 so Bid away! Please contact me if you have any questions. Non-refundable $500.00 deposit due with in 24 hours of end of auction. Paypal is the payment method.

Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox

Wed, Nov 26 2014

Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
