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!

VW recalling all its diesels in Australia

Mon, Oct 12 2015

VW's Australian division has announced it will recall all of its diesel vehicles that are believed to be programmed to cheat government emissions-testing process, Reuters says. VW Australia will recall almost 100,000 cars as a result. About two-thirds of the vehicles to be recalled in Australia will be Volkswagen-branded light-duty vehicles, while about 17,000 will be commercial vehicles. About 5,000 vehicles will be Skodas. New VW CEO Matthias Muller (former chief Martin Winterkorn stepped down towards the beginning of the diesel scandal) said last week that VW recalls in Europe would start in January, with all cars slated to be "fixed" by the end of next year. As for US VWs, any massive recall of the nearly half-million affected diesels here will be difficult to make work. VW is still figuring out how to deal with the 2016 model-year diesels, which are new a few months away from seeing the light of day because of the brouhaha. The company has been forced to resubmit those diesels to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for more testing. Back in Germany, local investigators have searched Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg for more information on the so-called "defeat device" software built into VW's diesel engines. Volkswagen has set aside $7.3 billion to deal with the fallout from the scandal after estimating that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered worldwide vehicles use software that essentially games emissions tests system. Without this cheater software, VW's diesels perform worse when they follow emissions regulations. Related Videos: News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Paul J.
