Question asked regarding colored rubber on the running board and fender beading. Was asked is this painted over. Answer :This was purchased from Germany by the previous owner (PO) . Was available as an option evidently by VW but not in the states. The rubber itself is colored it is not painted.

Question asked regarding date of 2007 on one picture? Answer Picture was included to show that although the restoration was completed originally in 2007 the car is still fresh and new looking .Paint, Glass, chrome, rubber seals, interior window felt guides all excellent; no rust, no paint flaws due to poor paint prep after 7 yrs. The quality of the car speaks for itself as the testament of a high quality restoration is how it stands up over time. This one is aging beautifully!!

Question asked how many horse power is the 40hp engine now? Answer engine is now around 52 hp . It's 1385cc. The MSD electronics and increase displacement work together well. MSD is a leader used since the 80's in the racing circuit. The spark is controlled by a computer with many multi sparks at lower speeds and longer duration sparks up the advance curve. This burns virtually all the fuel in the cylinder provides great gas mileage saves engine bearings and increases performance/power.

Question What does the car have on the underside for rust protection ? Answer new pans and complete underside were epoxy coated and then 3m truck bed liner applied very strong stuff.

Question Noticed a front hood badge in the pictures I thought 62 was the last year for the Wolfsburg crest badge? Answer I've been told that early production 63 cars still had the left over Wolfsburg crests on the front hood. This car built in Feb. so would be correct as it's actually an early car for 63. Please refer to picture of Birth certificate. thanks great questions

Audi prepping a flex-fuel A3 for Latin America

Fri, Oct 16 2015

Volkswagen's Audi division hasn't fared well from its parent company's diesel-emissions scandal, especially in the US and Europe. In South America, though, Audi is set to unveil its first vehicle of the flex-fuel variety, according to Nseavoice. Perhaps the German automaker can earn some good karma down in the Southern Hemisphere. The model is the 2016 Audi A3, which is made in Audi's Brazil factory. The engine is a 1.4-liter variety, and it will be able to run on either conventional gasoline or ethanol, or a blend of both. The decision makes sense because ethanol is plentiful in Brazil since the government has long pushed for it and there's plenty of sugar-cane feedstock to produce the stuff. Audi can use all of the positive news it can get, especially in the wake of VW's diesel-emissions scandal. As many as 11 million VW and Audi diesels may have been fitted with software that cheats emissions-testing systems. One result from the scandal's proverbial shrapnel is that the Audi A3 TDI diesel was stripped of its 2010 Green Car of the Year Award by Green Car Journal. The decision marks the first time in the award's history that a winner was stripped of the honor. VW has a long history offering flex-fuel vehicles in Brazil. In 2003, the German automaker was the first to debut a flex-fuel engine, and within two years, VW's Brazil factories were making 300,000 flex-fuel vehicles annually. Other companies have since jumped into Brazil's flex-fuel fray, including Nissan and Honda.

Volkswagen is not cool with a Fiat Chrysler merger

Wed, Mar 8 2017

Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller shot down Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's overtures for a merger in blunt fashion this week. Mueller told Reuters at the Geneva Motor Show, "We are not ready for talks about anything ... we have other problems. I haven't seen Marchionne for months." The unusually candid – and icy – response from one chief executive to another comes after Marchionne similarly pursued General Motors (again) this week. The FCA boss suggested GM might be looking for a new European partner as it prepares to unload its troubled Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA. A GM spokesman told USA Today that the company is not interested. Marchionne has been openly suggesting a GM merger since at least 2015, despite GM never reciprocating interest. VW's "other problems," as Mueller notes, include legal proceedings, fines, recalls, and other issues related to its long-running diesel scandal. Marchionne has long sought industry consolidation, arguing that automakers don't get a proper return on their investments in technologies, some of which are relatively similar. He's suggested sharing chassis and powertrain components could be a benefit to the collective auto sector. Skeptics argue FCA, which is smaller than GM, VW, Toyota, and others, needs a partner to survive, while its rivals already have the necessary scale to remain competitive. Related Video:

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
