Up for sale is a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit with a 12v VR6 swap. The car runs strong, pulls hard, shifts smooth and stops great. The car is completely rust free and always has been. History: The car started life as a1981 Volkswagen Rabbit 1.6L diesel which it is still titled as. (clean NY title in hand). The car is straight and rust free inside and out. (The perfect candidate for a build). A 12v Corrado with around 60,000 miles was used for this build. The engine, gear box, radiator, brakes (4 wheel discs) hubs and axles were used for this build from the Corrado. So yes its 5 lug all the way around. This is not a euro wise or other kit, its all hand welded and braced for strength in all the right areas for proper support. The car handles the power! And could handle more if you decide need be. Anyway, stock engine and gear box, with completely programmable stand-alone engine management system. K+N with snorkel type intake, Techtonics header and Borla muffler. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator and map sensor. Otherwise stock. Reliable and fun, what more can you ask for. The car was built to be fast and light. No unnecessary weight on this car. No A/C, and no heat. That stuff weighs too much. Small things were removed too like those little cross braces under the hood and the rain tray. It has an eight gallon fuel cell. The battery was relocated to the trunk with battery shut-off switch externally mounted. 6 point roll cage welded in. 5 point harnesses for driver and passenger (no back seat). Schmidt 3 piece wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxes T1R tires with a sweet off set. (front:195/45R15, rear:205/45R15) Adjustable coil-overs in all 4 corners. Upper and lower sway bars. Custom interior, fresh gloss black paint exterior. No dings, dents or other in paint, a quality job. Things we need to discuss: This is a hot-rod, it has no heat, no back seat etc...dont ask me if i have any of the original parts. This car was intended for race use but it never got around to making it to the track, so bumpers, lights, mirrors etc were added to pass inspection. Im happy with the car except the guy that wired up the dash. It has the Auto-Meter comp racing guage set-up. The important ones work, the others well, not so much. Im pretty sure it would take an afternoon to iron out the simple electrical wiring issues. Its not a complicated dash, simple 2 wire set-up. It never stops me from enjoying the car, I have only needed the tach and temp, they both work. Im available to talk to at 845-405-9316. I prefer cash in person. I can help with shipping by making sure the car gets on the truck you send, or take it to a shipping location in a reasonable distance to item location.

Volkswagen may soon have remedy for more cheating diesels

Tue, May 10 2016

Nearly a half-million motorists who own Volkswagens equipped with 2.0-liter engines have known for a few weeks the company might wind up buying back their vehicles as part of a settlement surrounding the company's emissions cheating. But about 85,000 drivers who own similarly afflicted diesels with 3.0-liter engines have been stuck without a remedy. They may not be waiting much longer. Bloomberg reports that Volkswagen will soon propose a fix for vehicles, including those from Audi and Porsche, equipped with 3.0-liter engines that will include new software and a new catalytic converter for the vehicles. Discussions with federal regulators are ongoing, according to the news outlet. "We are cooperating with the regulatory agencies and working with them on an approved solution," says Audi spokesperson Mark Clothier. "Beyond that, we cannot comment on ongoing investigations." Regulators have alleged that the company's 3.0-liter engines contain "defeat devices," illegal software that allows a vehicle to detect when it's undergoing an emissions test and turn off pollution control during real-world driving. The defeat device allows these vehicles to increase emissions of nitrogen oxide up to nine times the Environmental Protection Agency's allowable threshold. Affected 3.0-liter vehicles include the 2014 Volkswagen Toureg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5. Volkswagen is slated to finalize its plans for buying back the afflicted 2.0-liter cars and potentially offer those motorists "substantial compensation" for their troubles by June 21, and it's possible that a formal announcement on the 3.0-liter vehicles would come at the same time.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
