1977 Volkswagen Transporter Type 2 Aka Vw Hippy Bus on 2040-cars
Wauconda, Illinois, United States
1977 Type 2 transporter. 2 front bucket seats and 2 bench seats. Senegal red/white top, I think it was repainted at some time- 2 liter/4 cylinder/4 speed manual transmission. Runs and drives fine- straight and true; actual mileage unknown, shows 86K on odometer. Good condition for its age; I started project for my 16 year old daughter and wife shit-canned the idea of a 16 year old daily driving a VW hippy bus. Body repairs 60% and mechanical restoration 95% complete; It is to the point that the bus is mechanically fit, and I considered it safe to drive. Mechanically good to very good condition: engine rubber replaced such as belts fuel lines and seals, valves adjusted, compression tested good on all 4 cylinders. New battery and battery tray installed 6/13. Problematic VW fuel injection removed and replaced with new Webber electric choke downdraft 2bbl carburetor, fuel filter, air filter, new manifold and new fuel pump 4/13. Ignition system and distributor completely rebuilt 4/13: new bushings, coil, points, condenser, plugs and wires, timed. Engine was replaced/rebuilt(?) at unknown time before I purchased vehicle- but it is evident it was professionally removed and re-installed. New front wheel bearings installed. Good (existing) clutch. Brakes completely done- Front: new pads, rotors and rebuilt calipers; Back: new drums pads backing plates, parking brake cable, rebuilt pistons. Spare rebuilt master cylinder included. New shocks and bushings installed and good tires all around including spare and jack. Body and floors fair condition: all rust- through either sheet metal repaired or fiberglass patched- some surface rust and small dents/scratches remain, could use paint and body work on bottom half of van, but hard stuff is complete. I believe all head, tail turn lights work. Chrome VW "half moon" hubcaps. VW factory supplemental gas heater installed- unknown condition. Interior: has original spare tire cover and jack, original off white interior in good/fair/dirty conditions, seats with no major issues, could use rubber floor mats and under dash fascia. All window glass and doors in good operable condition. Dash cluster loose- unknown condition- spedo, tach and gas gauge disconnected, heater fan runs. Extra parts including gauge cluster, mirrors and used exhaust parts master cylinder, "Robert Bently" Volkswagen Bus Service Manual and more. I have restored and repaired many older German cars and am a straight shooter with skill; over $6000 invested including purchase-price, without including labor hours; I just don't want to store it for the winter or I would finish the job and sell it for $10,000. As is- as shown. - showing Saturdays and Sundays by appointment only, leave your number with questions or to make appointment and I will call. You tube http://youtu.be/9BUxd9pgJY4

VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna
Sun, Mar 22 2015The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

11M VW diesels affected, Porsche and Audi under investigation
Tue, Sep 22 2015Volkswagen's diesel scandal is growing exponentially larger. In a new statement, the company admits that 11 million vehicles worldwide might be equipped with software capable of evading emissions testing. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is beginning an investigation into the 3.0-liter V6 in Audi models and the Porsche Cayenne in the US, according to The Detroit News. The automaker claims that from its investigation so far, the "relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines." However, the company finds that the "noticeable deviation" in test results and real-world numbers only relates to the Type EA 189 powerplant. That still leaves 11 million vehicles potentially skirting emissions rules, though. Governments around the world have started taking a closer look into the company, too. In the US, the EPA has begun testing VW's V6 diesel because "they were certified well before we knew what we know now," Christopher Grundler, director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said to The Detroit News. The agency has started checking diesels from other automakers to make sure they're meeting the rules, as well. Germany, the European Union, and South Korea have instituted similar investigations. In response, VW is setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion at current rates) to cover servicing all of these diesels. The company admits that the figure might have to be adjusted depending on what happens next. The money is being deducted from its third-quarter earnings. Related Video: VOLKSWAGEN AG HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: Sep 22, 2015 Volkswagen is working at full speed to clarify irregularities concerning a particular software used in diesel engines. New vehicles from the Volkswagen Group with EU 6 diesel engines currently available in the European Union comply with legal requirements and environmental standards. The software in question does not affect handling, consumption or emissions. This gives clarity to customers and dealers. Further internal investigations conducted to date have established that the relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines. For the majority of these engines the software does not have any effect. Discrepancies relate to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines, involving some eleven million vehicles worldwide.
2015 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack ready for any road, except in the US
Wed, Mar 4 2015If Volkswagen built a Subaru Outback-fighter for US buyers, the Passat Alltrack would be it, and the new generation of VW's off-roading wagon debuted this week at the Geneva Motor Show. The Passat Alltrack – which is not sold in the United States – takes the car-like demeanor of the Passat and punches it up into a go-anywhere crossover. It has permanent 4Motion all-wheel drive, raised ride height and an electronic differential lock. The body is fitted with modified bumpers with underbody guards, reinforced wheelarches and side moldings with extended sills. There are roof rails on top, and it rolls on standard 17-inch wheels with 18s and 19s optional. The Passat Alltrack offers five direct-injected engines, with the lineup comprised of two turbocharged gasoline mills and three turbo diesels. Volkswagen loaded the vehicle with a wide range of infotainment and safety features, including choices of five radio and navigation units. It also has fully digital instruments, heads-up display and a rear-seat entertainment system setup for laptops. There is also lane-changing assist, rear-traffic alert and trailer-assist features. As spokesman confirmed to Autoblog there are no plans to bring the Passat Alltrack to the US market. The new Passat Alltrack • World premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show • All-wheel drive all-rounder* combines exceptional off-road properties with excellent travel comfort The latest generation of the Passat Alltrack* is celebrating its debut at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. Based on the new Passat Estate, the new Passat Alltrack impresses with an independent off-road look, 4MOTION permanent all-wheel drive and highly advanced technologies. The updated version confidently handles rough terrain, on the one hand, while simultaneously providing excellent cruising comfort – thanks to the driving profile selector and DCC adaptive chassis control. The Passat Alltrack is an independent model within the model series. This can be seen in exterior features such as the modified bumpers (with underbody guard in stainless-steel look), rugged wheel arch and side sill moulding covers in "Anthracite" and sill extensions. Its 27.5 mm higher ground clearance also makes it ready for any driving situation. Anodised silver roof rails, "Alltrack" badges on the radiator grille and tailgate, and custom 17-inch alloy wheels (18- and 19-inch wheel options available) upgrade this Estate even more.
