Vw Volkswagen Rabbit Gti 1984 on 2040-cars

This 1984 VW GTI was found in a field back in September. We drug it home with the intention of getting it back on the road and saving it from the crusher. It had been parked because of a broken CV joint and was in pretty rough shape when we found it. The body looked solid though, so we figured it would be a worthwhile endeavor. We replaced the half shaft, wheel bearing, and tires. Then we serviced the engine and got it running again. It runs well now and can be driven while the next owner goes through everything. We focused on the main problems that kept it from being drivable and feel like we have achieved our goal so we would like to get into the hands of someone who can complete the job. Don't be deceived, this car still needs a lot of work, but it is fun to buzz around in and we think it will make someone a great project. We have cleaned it up so you can see all the flaws and hopefully make an honest assessment of the car's current condition.
A summary of all the work we have already performed and more photos can be found here: http://barnfinds.com/project-gti-for-sale/ Here are some of the areas we would want to address next: -New quarter vent windows and door gaskets. -New side mirrors. The previous owner installed aftermarket ones, so keep an eye out on eBay for the proper adjustable mirrors. -Start replacing interior pieces. The headliner is shot and the front seats are not correct. -Replace all the vacuum lines as well as the exhaust manifold gasket. -Drive it! The best way to keep an old car going is to use it. Please leave any questions you may have in the comments section here on Barn Finds and we will get back to you right away. Thanks! |

VW Jetta TDI dyno shows HP loss trying to recreate cheat mode
Sun, Oct 4 2015Volkswagen is working on a fix for diesel-engined vehicles that are out of compliance with emissions regulations in the US and other countries. We're told that engineers will be presenting a solution internally sometime this month, but that doesn't mean we'll actually see it in the wild this month. One big question we have about the coming fix is, will it affect the car's performance? That question relates to another we have about the engine as it is: How much performance would the 2.0-liter diesel lose right now if it were turned down to pass US emissions? The Fast Lane Car tried to sketch some answers by going to a shop in Denver, Colorado to run a 2011 Jetta TDI with a six-speed DSG transmission on an all-wheel-drive dyno. The thinking was that if you ran all four wheels the car would think it was on the road, whereas if you ran only two the car might think it's being tested. We'll get straight to the numbers: the stock sedan is quoted at 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. When run with all four wheels turning it produced an uncorrected 114 hp and 214 lb-ft at the wheels. When run with just two wheels in motion the Jetta got 113 hp and 188 lb-ft at the wheels. Reading the graph, we're told that power differences between the two runs were as much as 15 hp and 32 lb-ft. You'll need to take some salt with these numbers, though, because the dyno and test protocol in the video are nothing like those used by the EPA. The shop attempts to trick the Jetta into 'emissions testing mode' by using the front wheels only for the two-wheel-drive run, but we have a feeling the software code at issue is far more sophisticated than that, since the ICCT, UVA, the EPA, and CARB investigated the situation for more than a year and couldn't figure out. Also, the technician adjusts for being a mile above sea level with a correction factor of 1.2 applied to horsepower and torque, which inflates the disparity in the final power differences over the two runs. Go to YouTube and read the lengthy comments on the video left by Andrew Price for a more thorough dissection of what could explain TFL's disparities. You can watch the video above, and feel free to try and dissect the results yourselves in the comments below. Related Video:

10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
