I am selling my 1990 MK2 Diesel Jetta. The engine is not running. I was driving and gradually lost power until the engine stopped. I suspect the head gasket, but I don't have a lot of time to work on cars anymore and bought a new car.
I did a LOT of upgrades to the car and I think the VW community should have a stab at keeping this car on the road.
It has keyless entry, power locks, power windows, Serpentine belt conversion with new alternator, Electronic compass and self-dimming mirror. (If you have ever driven these cars, you know the dimming mirror is a really nice upgrade) The vehicle has a Grease Car conversion. I actually only ran the car on Diesel. I wanted to get into Grease, but never had the time. So since I have had it it has just acted as a second tank. I also put some new Wheels on the car. Aluminum cast wheels. You can see them in the pics.
The interior is blue cloth and had a clarion stereo. I put in a remote located USB connection to the radio, so you also have that capability. The radio has a module you can get for Bluetooth, but I don't have that. But you can upgrade it if you want to.
Here is a video briefly showing the car and it's upgrades. http://youtu.be/OmjrXhNsf6I
I just want the car to go to a good home. The serpentine belt conversion was 600 bucks, the grease car conversion was between 1200 and 2000 the power mirrors, keyless entry, and power mirror was 600 to 1000, so there is a lot going on here.
I am putting this up with no reserve and I will let the auction run. If it goes for a little or a lot, that's up to you. Just remember it turns over, but is not currently running.
Thanks, I look forward to giving this car a new home. Great car for these tight times. I used to drive it 200 miles a day when I taught at MSU. It's a great car.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
