1999 Volkswagen Passat Gls Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
|
READ CAREFULLY! This is a 99 Passat 1.8l that needs a transmission! I bought this car as a quick project to get a car together for a family member but, they no longer need a car and I don't have time for the car. The car does drive, although if you purchase this car it will need to be towed to your location. Someone put the wrong transmission fluid in the car and it has burnt up the transmission pump. I have driven the car just to check that it goes through all the gears but I do not know the extent of the internal damage to the transmission by putting in the incorrect fluid. When I got the car, first thing I did was replace the fluid with the VW trans fluid. I didn't drop the pan but there was not any metal that was in the fluid. I set the fluid level and that is when I drove the car to check. It seems to shift fine however, the transmission pump screams when the car is started and when going down the road. As you can see in the picture, this is not a pristine car, the drivers seat bolster is ripped and was repaired with duct tape, the arm rest in the center consol is worn down as well as the door panels. I would say its pretty standard wear and tear for a car with 173k. Under the car is fairly clean, only leaks are from the transmission, engine seems pretty clean. Tires are all in good shape, fronts are about half worn and rears are fairly new. 4-5 32nds in the front 7-8 32nds in the rear. Let me know if you have any questions. This is a good opportunity to get a good car cheap! |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
