2005 VW Touareg Premium Package II V6 Nav/DVD/Sat Radio

 

Up for bid is my wife’s 2005 Touareg fully loaded with 156,381 miles. We bought it used 2 years ago when my wife wanted a larger vehicle. We do not smoke and no pets and have been in vehicle since we have owned it. We are getting ready to move in April and need another vehicle that gets better gas mileage similar to our TDI or close. The Reserve is set low at the trade in offer we recently received. Please note the vehicle will have a bit higher mileage than listed, I do drive it daily to work at about 16 miles round trip, other than work, we do not plan on driving any significant distance except if the winning bidder wants us to meet them at the airport. If the vehicle does not sell before our move, we will move with the vehicle and trade it in at our new location. The vehicle runs good and does have typical signs of wear for a vehicle this old and high mileage, however does have some issues listed below and pictured, please note before bidding.

 

*** Please note bid winner MUST arrange for pick up of vehicle “prior” to April 10th Vehicle is for local pick up here in Kevil, KY or arrangements can be made for  pick up if you fly into local airport Paducah, KY(PAH) or Nashville, TN (BNA)***

 

KNOWN ISSUES – Please read before bidding and note pictures

 

  • Intermittent Electrical problem – In the past 2 years we have had the car not start after sitting for a week, this happened 2 times in the 2 year period. . The battery was drained and the car troubleshot with no “smoking gun” or apparent problem found. The battery has been replaced. The car does have a “Parrot” aftermarket Bluetooth system installed that does not work, has not worked since we owned the vehicle and has been suspect to the problem, all though we could not get it to reoccur, even leaving it with the mechanic for a week to see if we could get the condition to repeat.

 

  • Emissions light is on as of a week ago, my local mechanic troubleshot and believes it to be a solenoid that is stuck associated with the charcoal canister in the emissions system. The location of this is behind the engine and will require a bit of labor to get to and further troubleshoot / repair. He estimated around $600 in parts and labor. Since we are looking at other vehicles and relocating shortly, we do not want to spend that kind of money on repairs. He stated that this should only affect the emissions and therefor, if you are in a State that requires Emissions Testing, it probably will not pass inspection and will require repair, otherwise the repair could wait.

 

  • Airbag Fault light is on – This has happened twice since we owned the vehicle and happened when we hit a good size pot hole. Mechanic did not find a lose connection or anything else with the system and the light cleared when reset. Just recently came back on.

 

  • Driver’s Head Rest has wear – appears previous owner may have been wearing a hair clip that wore a bit into the head rest.

 

  • Stain on speaker cover – Please note picture .

 

  • Privacy screen on rear passenger drivers side has small tear – see picture

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

To solve diesel problem, VW might need two fixes

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Volkswagen says that a fix is on the way for its 11 million vehicles around the globe that are equipped with diesel engine software that can evade emissions tests. The problem might be far more complicated than simply creating a single solution for all of them, though. According to Automotive News citing Reuters, two remedies to cover different NOx-reducing systems could be necessary, and both potentially affect performance. Earlier examples of the EA 189 diesel engine used a lean NOx trap to reduce the harmful material coming from the tailpipe. According to experts in the Automotive News report, a software update might allow the engines to achieve compliance, but that could affect fuel economy. VW already tried this route once before the scandal came to light, but tests by the California Air Resources Board still showed the figures were too high. Later, some of the 2.0 TDI engines began using Selective Catalytic Reduction that reduced NOx by injecting a urea solution into the exhaust stream. According to Automotive News, a software update for this equipment might increase the amount of the substance used. Not only would that mean topping up the fluid more often, but there still could be some reduction in fuel economy. But, since the 2-liter, 4-cylinder TDI engine that sits inside the diesel vehicles first mentioned as being affected by the issue in the US don't have a urea treatment system, VW would need to install them into these cars. VW still hasn't officially outlined its solution (or solutions) to the emissions issue but is expected to soon. The automaker's long-term evasion of regulations with these diesel engines pumped vast quantities of additional NOx into the air. The substance is known to be linked with smog and acid rain. The US Department of Justice is already beginning an investigation into the company, and politicians are pushing for harsh punishments.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
