When I bought it I didn't know what to look for so be careful when buying a old bug.Had to rebuild the front end. New Swing arms and Bushing, all new tie rods complete linkage. Had it professionally aligned at a German car repair outfit. She goes straight all the time, especially when stopping. This is a long list. New shocks, front bearings, rear suspension rubber stops. Has the original smog system on it,I went to great lenghts to get it right- all the correct hoses from the gas tank to the charcoal filter to the original air box.Rebuilt motor, with next size up cylinder she runs strong. New Crossover tube for carburetor, new carburetor, new german distributor NOS (new old stock), new alternator , original air box, new muffler,I added the aftermarket oil filter system when the motor was rebuilt so it sports a real oil filter..Good spare in front with new cardboard trunk covers. Has the original jack and hub cap remover. All new windshield whipper hardware, original stuff. New rubber around the motor area.
Upholstery and Paint are nice and were done by previous owner, he was into cosmetics and nothing else. The Headliner has been redone with the sun visors, they are not original but look very factory and new. And the heater works, new cables and original German Hoses that actually transfer lots of heat. I sandblasted the rims and had the paint heat baked on, 4 new tires. The rims are original and look great, slapped new hub caps on as well, there good quality not chinese but not German. Parts that I have that I have not installed. New window hardware$200, New rubber kit for windows includes all door and window rubber and felts $300, A original steering wheel with no cracks $350, new turn signal unit $150, new windshield washer switch and all hardware to make it work with the air in front tire$200. I also have brand new rubber and end caps for the front and rear bumpers, Note the bumpers are original, Bug City says they are hard to find with the originals. I would say its a daily driver, and one of the best looking Beetles rolling around my neck of the woods. You can just jump in and go. Of all the cars that I own this is the one you can count on to take you somewhere. Starts every time, runs strong very dependable. Like with all 40 year old vehicles there is a couple things that need to be fixed up, but its ready to drive. Anyone who has driven it always comments on how nice it drives and looks. Some of my friends have begged me to drive it they love it. I get more compliments on it than any car I have ever owned. It's real COOL.. |

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?
Fri, Nov 20 2015More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.
