This is a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup with a 1986 Volkswagen Jetta turbo diesel engine. I bought this truck with the intent of restoring it but i have ran out of time and money i started college last fall and that takes priority over a hobby. The truck is in good shape overall needs to be painted and has a small dent here and there. It also needs a head liner and door panels. The truck has new front wheel bearing the rear bearings have been cleaned and packed it has new brakes wheel seals and cylinders on the rear and has new front windshield and valve cover gasket.. the tires are in good shape. it rides and drives like a dream it has good power. I have the original gas engine out of the truck that i will sell with the truck it will run with a fuel distributor and still has the 4 speed transmission attached , i also have factory bumpers that will go with the truck and i have a gauge cluster for the gas engine that will plug right back in. the speedometer quit working a couple days ago i believe it is in the dash not the cable but i have not done much checking so i could be wrong. the diesel engine is also accompanied by a 5 speed standard transmission and i was getting around 46 miles to the gallon. it is a good truck it does very well but it is time for it to go i hate to see it sit at the house. i don't know how many miles are on the truck or on the engine but ebay made me put a number in so it is not correct mileage

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen 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.
