1972 Volkswagon Vw Bus, Vanagon, 1 Of A Kind! Custom 1.9 Turbo Diesel Vw Aaz Eng on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
Thanks for checking out my Turn Key 72 Bay Window Bus, It's ready to hit the highway for a road trip! Everything has been gone through on this bus! All new electrical wiring, and
fuel system replaced, as well now has a low mile (30k) 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine
purchased from Quality German Auto Parts, they are a direct importer of VW replacement parts. . This is the highly sought
after AAZ engine code. Has completely rebuilt and tuned Bosch
injection pump, as well as new Bosch fuel injector nozzles, all pop
tested and ready for a long service life. Also worth mentioning, new
alternator has about a year on it, but only about 1500 miles of driving, changed Timing Belt, and tensioner at pump
install, new battery, new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel/ pilot bearing, new tires, brakes are great, new seals about a
year ago, all of the doors open and close really smooth and nice. I
also have 2 new black vinyl seat covers for front seats, that are not
installed, but included. Now that we finally have a break from the rain
coming for a couple days here, Ill get better pictures, and a lot more of
them. this is the only diesel bus I know of, and using all Factory Vw
engine/bellhousing/transmission/flywheel, no cheesy adapter plates of
any kind. Has all new Torqu Flo electric cooling fan, with temp switch,
nice AutoMeter boost gauge, engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs
awesome, get stopped everywhere I go in it now. Best part is an easy
veggie burner conversion, and can help with that if paid in full. Only
selling after all of this work due to changing careers and raising funds
for start up. Thanks for checking it out. Oh, and gets about 35 miles
a gallon in town, and am going to be driving it this week while its
nice and going to get a recorded highway mileage average too. I don't drive it in the rain. Would be a perfect
cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me
know if your interested. Sorry again for current pics, I will get more
soon. Engine bay was all sanded and primed,
sanded again, and painted white/black, and has reflective backed wool sound
deading material on the underside of the rear deck to keep the clickity
clackity to the tailpipe and not in the cab, very quiet inside as normal. These engines came stock in VW Golfs, Jetta's, Passats, and many more, and have been a very popular swap in Vanagons, and many light 4x4 Conversions. Not hard to see why, with there great fuel mileage, and longevity, many on the road with over 300k miles on them and running perfect. I have done over a dozen diesel conversions, and as you can see, I keep everything as simple as possible, and tastefully clean. The floors are solid, and look new under the rubber floor mat, overall a really nice van, there are minor paint imperfections that you can notice up close, but just normal rock dings or what have ya. Nothing major by all means, but do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen, but definitely an above average nice cruiser. Also, has all new wood slat luggage rack installed.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
