1981 Vw Rabbit Caddy Pickup Truck Diesel Volkswagen Caddy New 1.9l on 2040-cars
Kailua Kona, Hawaii, United States
|
Bought off Ebay a year and 1/2 ago for $7250 + 1500 in fees and shipping. Seller said "like new" rebuilt top bottom side to side in and out. Had shipped to Hawaii bottom end of engine had been blown. Over the past year I have had put professionally a new out of a box VW 1.9L diesel long block, clutch, hoses, door handles, wet okole seat covers, etc etc...totaling over the purchase price having around 16K in it. The paint was pretty good upon arrival, I would say it was a rust free California truck, but being in Hawaii the past year and 1/2 the post on passanger side and a few other spots need attention. The expense(2-3K) here in Hawai'i for a decent paint job in addition to going back to mainland for a bit has me entertaining the possibilities of letting her go. Starts right up 1st time every time, gets over 50MPG and people just love the thing everywhere I go. Just change the oil every so often and dirve this thing another 250K miles...I have spared no expense and addressed all issues profesionally. I would suggest only the body I would like to see taken care of in the next year or 2. I'm including shipping in the final bid on PASHA Hawaii....that's 1100 value anywhere on the west coast of the USA please look at their website to find ports and dates of travel. Also would include inner island shipping, and local pickup fine as well. Please Ebay message me your phone number if you would like to buy this incredible efficient antique vw truck. I can take my time and answer any ?'s you have. I have been putting pictures here for people: http://surfing.smugmug.com/Other/1981-VW-Rabbit-19-Diesel/38769851_StrbRD#!i=3205150890&k=fxbntN9 ive been doing my very worst try to capture the poorest pics to be as fair and honest as possible have a look and request freely any other views, i'll be photoing the recipts and also shooting some more on a sunny day soon. |

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1
Mon, Feb 24 2014How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
