2003 Volkswagen Golf Gti Vr6 Hatchback 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
This 2003 GTI VR6 was special ordered and purchased new in December of 2002. I have been the only owner and the only driver. For 2003 the VR6 engine was re-engineered and the horsepower was increased from 180 HP to 201 HP. The manual transmission was also upgraded from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. So this car is very economical but also very powerful and responsive. It has all the options available that year: The Monsoon Sound System, heated leather seats, tilting and sliding moon roof, adjustable steering wheel, a/c, etc. It has always been garaged and meticulously maintained. The mileage is low because I drive a company car during the week. It has had two big 30,000 miles services (based on time, not mileage), and has always had synthetic oil changes every 3,000 miles. Recently one ignition coil went bad, so we replaced all six. It has never been in any accidents, not even a minor fender-bender, and has never been to a body shop (please see my complete list of all scratches and dents along with corresponding photos). If you have any questions, or if you'd like additional photos, please contact Peter Scott by email or at (415) 292-3623. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and has never had any service problems. There is a full-sized spare wheel and tire and the original factory jack. The Experian Auto Check Title Report is provided with this ad. Following here is a list of dings and scratches. Please see the corresponding labeled photos. There are small scratches on three of the four rims. There are “parking lot” scratches on the body-colored protective strips
of both doors. There are scratches on both bumpers. There are small scratches on both rear view mirrors. There are small scratches on the right rear area of the roof. There is a small scratch on the rear door. There is a small dent (hard to see in the photo) in the
right rear corner panel. The plastic hinge for the center console lid is broken. But the lid still snaps into place and holds
securely The retractable strings for the rear cargo cover are
missing. They are supposed to
automatically lift the cargo cover when the tail gate is opened. The front tires have a few thousand miles left on them and
the rear tires are almost new. There is one remote key/transponder and two valet keys. |

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million
Wed, Feb 11 2015While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
