1980 Diesel 1.5 L Rabbit/Caddy Pick up. No reserve auction. Highest bidder gets it. these are the legendary early 45 to 50 mpg Diesels that VW produced This pick up runs good, is the LX version, was set up for AC (compressor/dryer, most hoses intack) but the Condensor is missing and the return hose. Also, has none of the rust issues associated with these models. Towers are solid. Car tracks true, with really good tires and spare, stops true, and the e brake works great. 4 speed. Goes thru all the gears clean, and for a 1.5 winds up pretty quick. Don't expect to race, she's built for mileage not speed. Has the LX silver/gray color with the red interior. All of it looks original. Paint is chipped an dinged here and there. I can't find any evidence that the car has ever been hit. Bed is ok, some lumps here and there, nothing major, and tail gate is a bit loose, but closes fine and is ok for a driver. All the lights, turn signals etc. work. I have changed the oil, fuel, air filters. Changed the oil and the gear oil in the gearbox. Put a new belt on it, and timing plug, along with new battery cables. Couple of things that don't looks stock to me is a solenoid powering the glow plugs, and an in line fuel pump. (Makes bleeding easy tho) and the previous owner who had several said he puts in line fuel pumps in all of his cars. I also bought a new timing belt, tensioner, set of front seals, water pump and gasket along with a valve cover gasket. They're all new and still in the box. I read the manual (included with sale) that it was wise to change the timing belt, and if you changed the belt, the tensioner, front seals and water pump as they're all behind the belt anyway. (these are new in the box and are also included in the sale). The original timing belt looks good, water pump runs cool and doesn't leak, and none of the seals leak, I was just going to reset the clock. Anyway, it's a good solid example of this car, not fast, but, solid, dependable and the mpg is legendary. Clear title in my name. Car is sold "As is, Where is" On Oct-19-13 at 04:24:17 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot. the dash is vinyl and cracking, thus the dash mat. Rest of the interior is original and in really good shape for a 30 plus your vehicle. Misc. odds and ends go with car. Comes with a spare transmission, dash, manual, clutch cable. Car is located in Dixon, Missouri. 65459 Shippers are a dime a dozen. Google car shipping, and you will get a ton of brokers, but shipping is the responsibility of the new owners. I have plenty of room and can hold it for an agreed amt. of time after payment in full. |

Rimac is reportedly close to buying Bugatti from the Volkswagen Group
Thu, Sep 17 2020Croatia-based Rimac is finalizing a deal to purchase Bugatti from the Volkswagen Group, according to an unverified report. If the rumor is accurate, the sale would propel Rimac to the top of the automotive industry, guarantee that Bugatti's future is electric, and mark the beginning of Volkswagen's efforts to divest its empire. Executives in Wolfsburg gave the deal the green light in September 2020, according to anonymous sources who spoke to British magazine Car, but the company's supervisory board hasn't approved it yet. Selling the French company isn't as simple as sending company founder Mate Rimac an email with an account number. Insiders explained Volkswagen would likely trade Bugatti and all of its assets for a significant stake in Rimac that would be transferred directly to Porsche, which already owns 15.5% of the brand. Officials hope to increase that figure to about 49%, meaning Bugatti is theoretically worth about 33.5% of Rimac, which was founded in 2009. Bugatti told Autoblog it can't comment on speculation. Mate Rimac gave us a similar answer. Rumors of a Bugatti sale have hovered around the automotive industry for several years, and they've never materialized. In theory, spinning off the brand would be relatively easy because it's not as deeply integrated into the Volkswagen Group as its sister companies. It doesn't share its W16 engine with another carmaker, for example. And yet, Car speculates Lamborghini, SEAT, ItalDesign, Bentley, and Ducati will also be sold in the coming years, leaving Volkswagen with its namesake division, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, Scania, and MAN. Volkswagen is having an estate sale to fund the development of electric, autonomous, and digital technologies. Its downsizing will send ripples through the auto industry. Porsche could move upmarket if it doesn't have to worry about stepping on Lamborghini's toes, for example. Spinoffs are always risky, so some companies may not survive if they're not bolstered by economies of scale. As of writing, there's no word on who will pick up the brands being divested under this scenario. And, keep in mind none of this is official. Volkswagen hasn't commented on the report. We'll update this developing story as more information becomes available.
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.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
