Here are the pros and cons. Pros (Prices taken from Parts Place) - 5 Speed = $200 Mostly New Tires (I replaced all the tires no more than 12,000 ago. They all have good tread). = $109 New Heater Core (As is the case with these older cars, the heater core rusted out and I got radiator fluid all over my floor panels. So I replaced that last winter). = $170 ish New Breaks (Front discs and break pads, and rear break pads all replaced since November). = $100 Radio & Front Speakers (See pic below) = $230 New Injectors, Heat Shields, and Returns = $35 All Radiator Hoses Replaced Since I purchased the car. = $35 Back Left Wheel Bearings (inside and outside) just changed. = $45? Right Drive Shaft Replaced (no more than 12,000 miles ago). Total = $924 that you don't have to spend in parts yourself. -Goodies included - = 24 Timing Belt (I think I bought the tensioner too. That would be another $27) 19 x 4 = 76 Glow Plugs, = 30 Injector Socket, = 12 Break Vacuum Pump Kit, = 40 Compression Tester Total = 182 + 924 = $1100 on parts for the car that you will not need to spend. Cons -Injection Pump needs work (It currently runs, but will die when it is still cold and has an uneven idle when warm. Additionally, it is smoking much more than it should). -Vacuum Pump not working (I have the rebuild kit which would come with the car, just haven't installed it yet. The breaks work, but are stiff without the aid of the pump). -A Few Rust Holes (These are on the passenger side right behind the wheel. See pics below. One of the previous owners dented it there allowing salt to corrode the metal. But for a 34 year-old car that has been in the Mid-west all its life, this is not bad). -Dent (A previous owner hit the back right corner into a pole. I have been working on building it back up, but haven't had time to finish the project. See pic below). -Primer Paint Job (The car was originally silver, but has been painted orange and then primer black. On the negative side, it doesn't look all that pretty. On the positive side, the additional layers of paint have helped preserve the body over the years). -Tail Light Casing Cracked/Chipped (The plastic casing that holds the bulbs is cracked off at points. There is place for two bulbs to be hooked up per tail-light, but only one is currently hooked to each). -Steering Wheel Bearing and Cover (The lower bearing in the steering shaft is missing, which means it clanks when you turn the wheel. Also, the center cover to the steering wheel is missing. See pic below. The horn still works by grounding the horn wire to the metal of the steering wheel). |

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
