1985 Volkswagen Vanagon
1.6L NA Diesel w/ AC & Power Steering
These components together are EXTREMELY RARE! If you know your Vanagons then you know this is a hard to find vehicle. You will never find a van like this starting at this low bid price!
Please read the full description before making your bid.
You are about to bid on a nice daily driver Vanagon that has been taken care of very well. I bought this van with the diesel engine conversion and improved it to include the air conditioning, power steering, and much, much more. The vehicle has 205,000 miles but the engine only has 75,000 miles. The engine is a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated diesel with a manual glow. I have changed the oil in this engine every 3-5000 miles and replaced fuel and air filters every 10,000 miles. The engine does not leak and starts EVERY TIME. This is probably the best engine VW every put in its cars. If you keep the oil fresh it will run foreverrrrr! It has a NEW injection pump installed 10/2012 (the injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine). This van runs at 25-30 MPG with the AC running! The other day I got 26.8 MPG running around town with the AC running all the time. On the highway in the winter you'll get 30 MPG no problem. On the highway you can cruise at 60-65 MPH all day long. Actually, the wife and I took it to Maine and back last year!
Mechanically, it has had just about everything replaced in the last 18 months except the front end and suspension. I had Tucson's best Vanagon mechanic at Stuttgart Autohaus do almost all the work on this van with reciepts to prove it. Gary at Stuttgart has replaced the camshaft, accelerator cable, transmission, timing belt, valve cover, fuel tank w/ fuel lines, alternator, AC compressor, AC lines, AC dryer, and power steering pump. The braking system has had a make over too. I took out the front dash to have a professional replace the power brake booster, master cylinder, and slave cylinder. Meanwhile, I replaced the heater fan, heater valve, all the dash lights, radio antenna, and put in a modern CD player w/ USB port. This van has had ALL tires replaced with Yokohama Y356 load rated for Vanagons (very important) on 5/31/2012.
The exterior was repainted some years ago by a professional. I also had a heavy duty custom hitch made by Vanagon hitch maker Dennis Haynes. There are only two fabricators of heavy duty Vanagon hitches in the USA and Dennis is on of them. This hitch is rated to take the full load capacity of the Vanagon.
The interior has had an extensive make over. The previous owner sold it to me without any seats or heater in the rear of the van. I sourced the original middle seat and folding back sofabed but did not replace the rear heater since it was never needed. The curtains are custom made and I sourced the curtain rods from Europe specifically for the hard top Vanagons. All of the interior panels are re-fabricated with custom upholstery except the back 3 panels around the engine compartment. Underneath all the panels are noise and vibration reducers to keep the interior quieter on the highway. Gary and I also took down the overhead AC unit, resealed it and repainted it black for aesthetics. Air condition blows COLD and will cool down the van even in Tucson's 106 degree heat. However, do your research for old Vanagon AC systems. They are factory installed and notorious as not the best nor the hardest blowing units every designed. This is the original AC system that has been resealed and repainted. The old carpeting of the Vanagon is under Lloyd's custom floor mats throughout the driver and passenger areas of the Vanagon floor. I also bought a custom cut dash cover to go over the heat cracked dash board.
This is an ARIZONA car with absolutely NO RUST. However, as with most Vanagons, there are some imperfections. The paint on the roof is fading and the gloss is peeling. The front passenger seat has a rubber cement stain. Some of the rear passenger seat belts are missing. The front washer tank is missing. The coolant light is blinking without any apparent mechanical reason (probably an electrical issue). Sometimes the AC fan needs a tap to get started. The rear fold down seat is not original and was sourced from another van with grey interior, however it functions perfectly. Also, as seen in the photos, there is a small dent in the rear drivers side corner that can be easily fixed at a good body shop. The RPMs do not read as it requires a special connector on the alternator that I never needed. Finally, the spare tire is not a Yokohama.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
Join Autoblog editors for a full video tour of the 2019 Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Jan 17 2019The 2019 North American International Auto Show might have been a little more quiet than past years, but there were still some pretty major reveals, including the Toyota Supra, new Ford Explorer, Shelby GT500, Subaru WRX STI S209 and Kia Telluride. We also saw some lovely concepts like the Nissan IMs and Lexus LC Convertible. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and Senior Green Editor John Beltz Snyder join me, Associate Editor Reese Counts — with Social Media Manager Michael Dylan Ferrara behind the camera — on a long walk through the show. We discuss cars, poke around the stands, dress a bloody wound and answer your questions in the Facebook comments. For more Detroit coverage, you can check out Autoblog's picks for the best in show, listen to our podcast or look at the best images from all the reveals. Finally, don't forget to watch Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore hand over our 2019 Technology of the Year award.
