| Vanagon Carrat 1.9 PD TDi Diesel | ||
| I have for sale my 1990 Vanagon Carrat automatic. It has a Eurospec 1.9PD TDi engine conversion with intercooler.( This is the only automatic kit done with a PD as far as I know) It's registered as a diesel in California ( so no worries with smog) I put about 20K miles on the engine when the actuator on the turbo failed, which unfortunately also did minor damage to the engine.( engine block was not damaged ) The engine was completely rebuild with new pistons and rods and new turbo. The cam was also replaced and so too the lifters with the new DLC ones.( This was just a upgrade ) The engine currently has about 3K since the rebuild. The transmission has about 20K on it(new when installed with the engine) I started with a NOS trans, and replaced the guts with that of the Audi Turbo. The difference is the turbo trans has 4 planetary gear vs 3 on the Vanagon trans. I also used the clutch packs from the turbo trans which if recall correct has 2 extra discs per gear set. I installed the lower "rare" ring and pinion to bring the RPM down. The torque converter was also re-done by Oregon Torque Converters as they had to change the stall speed as it was slipping at high RPM (150HP Chip) It has the 280mm big brakes and also the bigger SA rear drums and shoes. The wheels are 16" Overland Parts alloy wheels with 215/70-16 Grabber UHP tires(50%) Front Bull Bar. SA round lights and grill kit with H4 HID lights. Has a rare OE VW CD player radio (Looks just like the original radio but with cd player) AC is cold and has the newer R134 compressor. The chassis has 213K miles and it gets about 22mpg in town and 26-28mpg freeway. The body and interior is 7/10. I can send more pics per request. This vehicle is sold "AS IS" No warranty said or implied. There are also some spare parts that go with the Van that I have collected along the way. |

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
