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.

Winterkorn kept diesel scandal secret, letter claims
Tue, Mar 1 2016Former Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn allegedly kept quiet for two weeks about emissions defeat devices in the company's models. US officials eventually made the automaker's deception public on September 18th. "In the conversation on 03.09.2015 with the regulator CARB (California Air Resources Board), the defeat device was admitted," an employee told Winterkorn on September 4, according to Reuters citing Germany's Bild am Sonntag. Based on this information, Winterkorn had plenty of time to admit the problem. Evidence like this letter continues to suggest top figures knew about the emissions problem. In addition, a separate Bild am Sonntag report recently claimed that an employee emailed Winterkorn in May 2014 to tell him US regulators could discover the cheating. In the lower echelons of the company, the deception was allegedly an open secret among engineers as early as 2006, and people kept quiet even after workers tried to admit what was happening. This culture of secrecy seems to go even deeper than just the diesel emissions scandal. For example, engineers admitted that they cheated on CO2 tests to meet the company's strict standards. According to Green Car Reports, these problems also affected the US. In 2004, an Audi worker in America allegedly discovered an issue with the exhaust gas temperature sensor in some vehicles, but a German executive said not to admit the problem to US regulators. It's not clear whether any high level employees tried to fix the diesel emissions issue or if they simply kept the problem hidden. The company's internal report, which is due in the latter half of April, might address that concern. So far, the VW Group has said only a small group of people caused the scandal. However, these many allegations to the contrary make that claim difficult to believe. Related Video:
The VW Sport Coupe GTE Concept promises exciting things for brand's future [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015In recent years, it seems as though the Audi allotment of design talent from the Volkswagen Group has gotten braver, while the VW designers have become more conservative. One look at the current Volkswagen range reveals a lot of tidy sheet metal, but hardly any that rank as evocative or emotionally compelling. If the rhetoric around this Sport Coupe GTE Concept turns to action, however, VW's mass-marketed cars could become a lot more interesting to look at. Sharp creases and bold graphics can be found on just about every inch of the concept, and the large wheels at either extreme corner help to sell this as a "four-door coupe" more than most executions of that now hackneyed styling term. And, if you like what you see, then you might want to hold out for quickly approaching versions of this look on production models. Design head Walter de Silva says this language will be "shaping the immediate future" for VW product. Mechanically, the Coupe also previews more hybridization for the VW line. The concept has a plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a turbo 3.0-liter V6 driving the front wheels, and an electric motor sending yet more power to the rear. You can read up on the details in our official post from a few days ago, or just click through the pretty pictures in the gallery above. SPORT COUPE CONCEPT GTE MAKES WORLD DEBUT AT THE GENEVA AUTO SHOW Four-door coupe marks beginning of a new design era at Volkswagen Wolfsburg/Geneva, March 2015 -Volkswagen will debut the Sport Coupe Concept GTE at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, heralding a new and progressive Volkswagen design language. "Evolution and revolution come together in the Sport Coupe Concept GTE. This concept is based on Volkswagen design DNA, which has been visibly sharpened even more. It shows how the highest-volume brand of our Group is shaping the immediate future," says Walter de Silva, Head of Design of Volkswagen AG. Dr Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Development, elaborates: "This breathtakingly dynamic coupe is unlike any other to appear in this class. The design of the Sport Coupe Concept GTE is an impressive alternative to the classic sedans of the B and C segments-it has the style of a sport coupe that is enriched by the functionality of a large hatchback and the interior space of a sedan." Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design of the Volkswagen Brand, adds: "The Sport Coupe Concept GTE is another milestone of expressive design.
