This van has been my baby for years, and now it is with a heavy heart that I must find her a great new home! Volkswagen only made the diesel version of this very popular camper for one year, so they are quite rare! The original stock engine was only 1.6 liters, and was woefully underpowered to run the vehicle. I have had a brand new 1.9 liter engine installed, and it has less than 2000 miles on it!!! It goes somewhat without saying that the attraction of the diesel engine is its ability to run on biodiesel, and the ease with which it could be converted to run on straight grease. The upgrade in power has really helped with speed on the highway and up steep grades. The engine has never smoked, it has no leaks, runs at just the right temp, and starts easily in the cold. Nearly all of the important mechanical components of the van have been replaced and upgraded. I have a pile of receipts from both myself and the previous owner, and the van has been recently serviced by the fine folks at Asheville Vee Dub here in North Carolina. They work exclusively on the repair and restoration of old Volkswagens, and really know their stuff. In all, it runs beautifully. In terms of the camping equipment, the stove and the sink work great, while the fridge has never functioned. All of the electrical stuff in the van has been fixed-sockets, lights, etc. There is an auxiliary battery installed under the front seat which allows you to run the electrical equipment while parked without draining the battery in the engine. This makes camping extremely comfortable and easy!! The pop-top is in decent shape-it is original, and has a few repaired tears. The mattresses are also original-they have some wear and tear but they’re completely comfortable and functional. The van is missing the front table that sits behind the driver’s seat, but the table that swings over the backseat is in great condition. The two front seats have a lot of wear in the upholstery, so I’ve covered the chairs with soft covers and I’ve always found it comfortable that way. If you’re interested in getting it back into mint condition, it would need a paint job, though the great news is that there is really no rust to speak of on the whole body of the vehicle. Rust is generally the kiss of death in these cars, so to have one with no rust is quite valuable. I have had some of the best times of my life in this van, with my boyfriend and his young son, on road trips, at festivals, camping, and just generally traveling together. It is very special to me, and I’ve made sure over the years that it’s gotten all of the attention it deserved. It is truly a rare find, and I hope that whomever drives away with it will feel the same way! So, without further ado, here’s the total rundown: -Brand new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine, less than 2000 miles!! -Brand new clutch, installed at the same time as the engine -4 Brand new tires, also less than 2000 miles -Radiator less than 3 years old -Alternator 1 year old -Brand new Starter -Stove and Sink run perfectly -Original stock radio with two old and two new speakers -GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit installed -Fully functional electrical equipment -Fully functional sink and stove -Pop-top in great working shape **I am willing to consider delivery on a case by case basis, with travel cost reimbursement!!** |

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale
Sat, Jun 18 2016"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
