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.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Autoblog Minute: VW 'tip of the iceberg' in diesel emissions scandal

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. Autoblog's Adam Morath reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Here in the U.S. the EPA found defeat devices on certain Volkswagen vehicles. Across the pond however concerned environmentalist groups including [00:00:30] Transportation & Environment say that the issues could be more widespread in Europe. Nico Muzi, a spoken for Transportation and Environment was quoted in the Automotive News as saying: "Volkswagen is just the tip of the iceberg..." Muzi goes on to claim that cheating is widespread, and that results produced from European emissions tests, which are not administered by a government agency, show differences in data that "...are so much, it can't be explained." Clean vehicle manager at Transport & Environment Greg Archer spoke to Bloomberg Business about the need to reform emissions testing in Europe: [00:01:00] [Bloomberg Video Clip] While it's clear that automakers are engineering vehicles and software to perform well on emissions tests, the real question is whether or not other OEMs, besides Volkswagen, are using defeat devices to cheat the tests, either here or in Europe.
