1972 Vw Type 3 Squareback on 2040-cars
Long Island City, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1972 VW type 3 Squareback. It is extremely clean and nearly rust free. I don't know a ton about this car as I haven't done a thing to it but regular maintenance and I was unable to get the exact modifications list as the owner before the person I got it from did the modifications and couldn't provide a build sheet.
Here is what I know: Engine/Trans/ drivetrain This is a modified VW motor that runs very well. I don't know what size it is nor what has been done to it but it does move you along pretty good and is definitely, definitely not a stock motor. It has a 4 speed with a SCAT Short throw shifter that works and feels great. The clutch is good, brakes are good (front disc, rear drum).The steering wheel is a very nice VW racing wheel which appears to be detachable with a key (look at the pics). The suspension is very nice and makes for comfortable ride. It has been lowered and sits on large, old school rims. The tire does rub a little bit if you turn sharply. The Engine is stamped with : 40015888 Interior The interior is nearly mint. The engine cover is the original and works very well (no leaks into the interior) and the carpet through out is very nice. The seats appear to be original but I think to have been reupholstered because they are tear free and look great. The dash has one very small 1/2" gash by the front defrosting vent. The Headliner is perfect and door cards are good. It does have speakers installed but no stereo; the last owner installed speakers but I bought it before they got to a chance to install it. All the gauges work, e-brake works well and has a custom aluminum handle. Even the interior light switch works! Exterior It has an original roof rack, with the patina look on the frame; the wood is good (could use a sanding and a few coats of lacquer) . The trim that runs down the side has been shaved and replaced with two pin strips. Tinted windows The wind caught the door one day when it was parked and caused a crease in the driver door (see pics). It could be repaired by any body shop. Because of the crease and a few blemishes, it needs a paintjob once the door is fixed. The paint job is good as is and is in decent shape otherwise, with a just a few other blemishhes. The car is almost no rust. the floors are good, battery box and engine bay are good, body is good with the exception there is a rust bubble at the the passenger fender near the windscreen (small and you have to be looking for it to see it- See the pics). Other than that is good to go. It is Sold as is AS, as it is a 41 year old car. Ask me any questions prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment and pickup. Contact me if there are any questions, I am not a VW expert so please let me know if you need any more info from me. |

VW recalls 220,000 Atlases, Atlas Cross Sports for airbag defect [Updated]
Thu, Mar 31 2022[Update: Audi of America has confirmed that no U.S. models are among the recall population for plug-in hybrid fire issue.] Volkswagen has issued yet another recall for its Atlas SUV, this time for side airbags that may not deploy correctly in an accident due to a problematic connection in one of the vehicle's wiring harnesses. The campaign covers 222,892 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models built for the 2019-2023 model years. The issue stems from a connection with the wiring harness that runs from the A-pillar into the door. VW says that harnesses produced by one of its suppliers were not built with additional measures to prevent movement at the connection point. Small movements can cause abrasion of the metal contacts which could lead to a whole host of electronic misadventures, including the potential for airbag deployment to be delayed in a crash. "Micro-movement of the wire harness (terminal A-Pillar to front door) can result in damage to the wire terminal surface. Damage to the surface can [result] in fretting corrosion which may cause sporadic interruption in the electrical connection to the components of the front door," VW said in its defect notice. "The airbag warning light may illuminate if a malfunction is detected. Other symptoms of a sporadic interruption of the affected electrical connection can be: inadvertent rolling down windows, inadvertent park brake engagement at low speeds (below approx. 3km/h or 1.8mph), warning regarding faulty door sensor," VW said. Not every model built within the range defined above is subject to the recall; terminals from other suppliers were manufactured with the necessary safeguards in place. If you own a 2019-2023 Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport, keep your eyes peeled for a notification from VW regarding the campaign, likely some time in early-mid May. PHEV problems Across the Atlantic, the VW Group mothership confirmed that it will recall more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid models worldwide to address a fire risk. The recall was launched in response to 16 reported incidents of fires stemming from insufficient insulation of the PHEV battery pack that allows the engine cover to make contact if it is not completely secure. If that happens, the heat from the battery can ignite the engine cover. The recall will cover PHEVs build by VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda, Reuters reports, including the VW Passat, Golf, Tiguan and Arteon — plug-in variants of which are not sold in the United States.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
