**This vehicle is in need of significant mechanical repair** While this VW does run and drive, it will need significant repair before it can be driven and I would highly reccomend that you have it trailered away from our dealership. Read sections below for more details regarding condition. Vehicle Description: This Turbo Diesel VW will make a great project car for someone looking to save huge money on fuel! This VW has had 3 previous owners and 0 accident history per autocheck. At 241,581 miles, the exterior of this vehicle is in fair condition for this age and miles. The exterior does show signs of rust - especially on the hood, fenders and hatch (see pictures & video). The passenger side mirror housing is cracked and it is missing the rear wiper. The windshield is cracked along the top. The interior is in above average condition for the year and miles -- there is some wear on the plastic covered items on the interior like the door handles and radio buttons but overall the interior is clean. The tires are in very good condition, one of the wheel covers is cracked (see pics). The rear hatch is currently not opening from either the inside or outside. The driver side door lock is unable to be engaged (when you hit the lock button, it moves down a bit but will not go all the way down to be locked). The radio is not currently turning on, but it did work when I first got the car. The Air Conditioning is ICE COLD. Mechanically, this car needs transmission work -- from what I have read and been advised it will need a clutch/flywheel replacement. It is difficult to get into gear at times. At idle, the engine shakes which I have also read is a sign of the flywheel needing to be replaced. The check engine light is also on for turbo overboost so it doesn't have full power at higher RPMs. The engine has a slight tick that I have tried to capture in the video. The airbag light is on. I am not a mechanic, but I have tried to describe the mechanic issues as fully as I possibly can but I am not 100% positive that the diagnoises I have provided are accurate - they are just my educated guesses. You are welcome to come check out the car for yourself, but due to the fragile mechanical state that it is in there will be no test-drives. Check out the pictures & video for more information or feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions.

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales
Sun, Nov 27 2016Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
