Up for auction is a 1982 VW Diesel Pickup.  This is a project that I started three years ago.  Unfortunately I  was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2011 and the cancer is getting worse.  The doctors haven't given me much more time to live, so it's time for me to sell my baby. 

I am a certified VW technician that actually worked on the trucks at the VW dealership back when they were selling these trucks.

Listed below are the things that I have replace:

The truck's floor boards were rusted out, so I welded in new metal and fiber glassed over top the top of the complete floor boards. 

There were several other common rust spots that I repaired.  I used POR rust preventative paint in all of the areas that the rust was repaired.  You can Google POR to acquire more information.

New deflector headlights were installed along with HID kits.

The engine was replaced with a later model engine with less that 90,000 miles.  I have a friend that removed this engine from a later model Jetta many years ago.  It was in storage for many years until after two years of bugging him to sell it to me, he finally did sell it to me.

Replaced ALL external engine seals in the engine along with the timing belt and drive belts. 

Installed a remanufactured injection pump.

Clutch kit.

Installed a new stainless header along with a complete custom 2 1/2" exhaust system.

My next project was going to be installing a turbo kit.  The new turbo kit goes with the truck.  See pictures.

Installed an electric vacuum pump from a late model Audi.  Everyone that has an early model VW diesel knows that the factory mechanical pumps are awful.

All CV Boots.

ALL shifter bushings and linkage rods.

Front brake pads, caliper bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, transmission external seals, front strut inserts, strut bearing tops.

Rear shoes, wheel cylinders, parking brake cable, wheel bearings, shocks.

Replaced front windshield and seal, rear window seal, early style GTI steering wheel, custom fitted later model center console and late model seat belts.

New custom racing seats, new carpet, new leather shift knob, interior was dyed black, The dash has not been cut up and still uses the old knob style radio.  JVC A/M F/M Cassette radio.  New speakers.

Heater blower motor and resister.  Still has the factory  R-12 A/C system that works great.

Things that the truck still needs:

I left the original body trim holes, so I was still looking for the factory body trim that goes from the front fender to the rear finder.

Rust has started back on the right rear fender behind the wheel (see pictures).

Turbo kit needs to be installed.  Comes with a new boost gauge.  The electric brake booster pump is currently mounted on the firewall and is a little noisy.  It needs to be mounted somewhere else near the front (maybe on the transmission).

The trucks runs great and gets compliments from people every tme I drive it.  Anyone that is local is welcome to come test drive it.  Just contact me mhemrick@triad.rr.com 

The vehicle is also being sold locally and the seller has the right to end or cancel the auction at any time.

UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

The not-Subaru crossover wagon | 2017 Volkswagen Alltrack First Drive

Fri, Sep 16 2016

Funnily enough, in light of dieselgate, Volkswagen is one of the few brands (along with Volvo and Subaru) to preserve the notion that you don't need a fuel-sucking SUV to meet your life-carrying needs. And, yes, VW's history of addressing off-road desires with all-wheel-drive dates to the mid-1980s with the Quantum Syncro (a.k.a. Passat) and Golf Country – the latter, sadly, never came stateside. The latest offering toward this effort is the 2017 Volkswagen Alltrack. What's an Alltrack? It's a slightly lifted, cladded, and butched-out version of the Golf Sportwagen (yes, formerly known as a Jetta). Not to steal Alltrack's thunder, but starting in 2017 you can also get the standard Sportwagen with 4Motion AWD, which is basically the same running gear for less money. The Alltrack starts at $26,950; the 4Motion Sportwagen starts at $24,930, both with the dual-clutch automatic available at launch. Any discussion of tall wagons brings Subaru immediately to mind, both with the Outback and the Impreza-based Crosstrek. The Volkswagen Alltrack sits between the two in size at 180.2 inches long – 5 more than the Crosstrek and 9.4 inches shorter than the Outback. The 2017 Subaru Outback starts at $25,645, and VW's comparisons focus on the Outback, which is understandable given the similar starting price. A bare-bones Crosstrek starts at $22,245, but quickly gets into Golf price overlap. The Alltrack and the 4Motion Golf Sportwagen are superior daily drivers to the Subaru, whether you're doing an emergency lane change or just trying to merge onto the interstate. Meanwhile, the Crosstrek doesn't have the refinement of the VW. Can we fault Subaru though? It's set a sales record every year in a row since 2010 and is looking at about triple the sales volume of VW's Golf for 2016. So we'll stick to telling you what we think of the Alltrack and let the dealers fight for your dollars. First thing's first. Yes, you can have the Golf Sportwagen and even the Alltrack with a manual six-speed gearbox. The seven-speed DSG automatic is very good, but it's worth noting that any manual gearbox is a rarity these days, especially when we're not talking about a two-seat sports car. You will have to wait until early 2017 for that option, but it also saves you $1,100 off both models. Second, the Alltrack and 4Motion Sportwagens get identical engines. Whether manual or DSG, VW's EA888 turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder is under the hood.
