2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 Variant (Wagon) B5.5
- 164,702 KM (+ possibly 1 or 2km as the car has been moved around a few times since the photo) - Blue exterior - Black leather interior - Climate Control - Power Locks, Power Windows, Power heated mirrors - Viper Valet remote start - 2+ keys - Sunroof - HID's - R-Line Grill (OEM Grill also included) - Compact spare tire - AM/FM/CD/Cassette/6 disc changer (Factory Monsoon with steering wheel controls) - Cruise - Heated Seats Overall, the car is in decent condition but it does have some issues. - Car is not driveable. Engine runs extremely rough. Possibly the timing chain skipped as is seems to be misfiring on the entire left bank. Codes include misfires, cam sensor, cam adjuster, torque converter. - Shifter will not physically go into the lowest gear. Feels like the cable is stuck on something. However the car shifts into all gears fine when in Drive or by using the TipTronic shift. The car was running fine and dandy. I stopped somewhere and turned the car off. When I returned it would barely start and did not have enough power to drive. Makes a lot of noise around the timing chain area. Mechanic is confident that no valves are bent at this point. - Drivers door sensor is not functioning. This means that the car does not know when the drivers door is open. With this car, when you unlock it, it has a time delay where it expects to see a door open. If a door doesn't open in this time period it re-arms security. Since it can't tell if the drivers door is open, you have to put the key in the ignition within this time frame to prevent auto re-arming. - Drivers heated seat not working properly. The control has 5 levels. On 5 (highest) the seat gets uncomfortably hot. On 4 its off. Thought to be the switch. - Various scratches (See photos) - one "flap" on the left dash vent doesn't operate - New passenger tie rod end, alignment and 1 tire less than 3000 km ago. (all season tires) - New R-Line grill. OEM grill included. (But not the W8 grill badge. I would like to keep it for sentimental reasons) - Interior in good overall condition. Minor scuffs here and there. - Homelink not broken! - New K&N Air filter - Not even installed yet - 3 new K&N oil filters - New balance belt and tensioner - in box, not installed. - Passenger HID intermittently won't stay lit. (The car has Daytime Running Lamps. When you turn on the key, the headlights ignite. At this point the passenger headlight always lights. Once you start/crank the engine, the headlights go out then reignite when the key is let go. Its at this time they headlight doesn't always come back on. Seems to be a common problem as you can read about it on forums. ) - Car has adhesive oil pan heater in place. Untested by me as I have not had the car through a winter. - Has a "gorilla gear" cargo liner in good shape. Slight curling on some of the corners. - Fuel pump controller in perfect condition. When I got the car I checked it out and it was dry. I bagged it and sealed it to prevent future problems. - Remote starter transmitter battery is getting low. It intermittently doesn't send a signal. (There is only 1 remote for the starter) - Everything else works fine. (Sunroof, radio, climate control, door locks, etc etc. ) - Note the fog light grill is out as that is where the tow hook is and we needed to winch it on the trailer. The OEM fog light grills are in bad shape. I have new aftermarket ones from ebay to be included. - Right hand fog light has been modified to accept a Vision X Solstice Prime LED light. The intention was to do the other side as well. I would like to keep the light and as such there will be no RH foglight. Foglights can be found on eBay for about $35. Should you wish to keep the Vision X light, there will be an additional $175 payable above the auction price. You will also get the other Vision x Light for the left side, new in package. You can see the difference in the 10 watt LED versus the OEM 55 watt halogen. Bright! Car is currently equipped with a cellular mount / amplifier and a dashcam. These items are not included. I live about 60 miles North of International Falls, MN in Ontario Canada. Car is currently located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For all intents and purposes, the pickup location will be Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a big centre and has rail and truck transportation for automobiles. Depending on your plans, you may need to budget ~$100 to have it towed to the carrier. It fits fine on a Uhaul Auto Transport. Car can be seen and started with an appointment during normal business hours. Awesome car. I just am not in a position to fix it and it will be missed dearly. Car is as-is / where-is with no warranty and is currently not in a drivable condition. Short of the engine problem the car will pass Ontario and/or Manitoba safety inspections. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Lights, Glass, etc are all good.

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?
Fri, Nov 20 2015More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
2015 VW e-Golf gets cheaper Limited Editon, starts at $33,450*
Thu, Mar 5 2015Typically when an automaker announces a new limited edition of one of its models, it comes at a premium. Maybe the extra cost turns out to be worth it due to bundled options, but there's almost always a cost. But not with the new Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition. For this model, VW has gone the opposite direction by cutting equipment out of the electric hatchback and charging less for it. Compared to the SEL Premium model, the Limited Edition of the e-Golf drops the alloys in favor of 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights in place of LEDs, cloth upholstery instead of leatherette, and drops the heat-pump system. As a result, the e-Golf costs $2,000 less, priced at $33,450 (*before delivery) and available to lease for $229 per month. For that, you still get the electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque, 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and 7.2 kW onboard charger and class-leading energy consumption. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES A NEW TRIM LINE FOR THE FULLY-ELECTRIC 2015 e-GOLF - e-Golf Limited Edition model goes on sale with a starting price of $33,450 - Drivetrain consists of 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque; 7.2 kW onboard charger is standard - Standard fast charging capability allows up to 80 percent battery charge in 30 minutes - EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 116 combined MPGe puts e-Golf at top of the 2015 EPA Compact Size Class - A great value, with a host of features that include KESSY® Keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with C-shaped light signature, and more Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced that a lower-priced version of the fully-electric 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf will go on sale at participating dealerships. The 2015 e-Golf Limited Edition is priced nearly $2,000 less than its SEL counterpart at $33,450, without compromising performance, quality, or versatility. The e-Golf Limited Edition is also available at a monthly lease price of $229, plus applicable fees. The e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform as the rest of the award-winning Golf family. It is powered by a compact electric motor and a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (built in-house at the Volkswagen facility in Braunschweig, Germany), and offers 115 horsepower and class-leading torque of 199 pound feet.
