1998 Volkswagen Passat Glx Sedan 4d on 2040-cars
Millbrook, Illinois, United States
I am the second owner of this vehicle. It has been family owned, it is a good performing car.
If you put a little work into this vehicle it will be a very nice car. Pros: The engine runs strong. The body does not have any rust. It has never been in any type of serious accident. Moon roof works and does not leak. Heated seats work. All the power windows and door locks work. Key fob. Installed a new AM / FM / CD Player radio with 4 new speakers. Still have the original radio (included). The wheels are in good shape with just some slight rust here and there. The frame is solid. Big trunk and seats fold down for added room. Includes full size spare tire and jack. Air Conditioning and Heat work. Floor mats included: Front and rear. Cons: The cruise control does not work. The blinkers / flashers do not work. This might be a recall issue. The transmission, when cold, shifts hard between 1st and 2nd gear. Once warm the transmission works fine. The drivers side floor has some tears and one hole in the carpeting, it does not go through the floor board. Numerous small scratches around the vehicle. The bottom plastic air dam was removed, and a temperature sensor hangs loose underneath the front bumper. You could keep it taped or tucked in as necessary. The driver side interior door handle is cracked and needs a new plastic insert. The front window molding is old and cracked but does not leak. The interior is stained in some areas (see pictures). Thanks for looking at my vehicle. Have a nice day. |

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
