1990 VW Jetta Mk2 VR6 CUSTOM 5spd
Up for sale is a show field ready vehicle.
RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a completely restored
and retro-modified 1990 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan VR6 Mk2
has grey cloth RECARO interior with front power seats
and Wolfsburg chrome trim and will includes a set of five forged BBS wheels
Kenwood CD/MP3/USB/iPod stereo with Kicker speakers, amp, and subwoofers.
Custom Porsche Jade Green paint
with a shaved engine bay and a complete engine swap
vehicle is powered by a 1998 VR6 2.8L engine with OBD2 and 5speed 020A transmission and the engine is dressed with a stainless steel skid plate
and completed with a T-304 stainless steel exhaust
Battery relocated to the trunk with fused relays for the headlights and stereo.
Also have the USDM front grill with Hella lights and
a full European Quad grille with Glass Halo lights and a badge-less grille.
The car can be shown, seen, and inspected by appointment.
This vehicle was completely redone and has about $40k invested.
Similar vehicles have been sold from $15k-$25k.
This car is not a project car and is complete and a daily driver or show car.
Vehicle passed Virginia State Inspection and Emissions certifications in 3/2013.
Which means no Virginia state inspection until 3/2014 and it will not have to pass emissions in the state of Virginia ever again as it will be considered an antique in 2015 by Virginia DMV laws.
Please be aware that currently the car is setup without Power steering or Air Conditioning but the brackets are there and these could easily be added to the vehicle if wanted. The car runs better without these features in my opinion.
Weight savings on the A/C delete was nearly 300 lbs and the manual steering is much more responsive.
Everything works on the car as it should heat, gauges, and rear defroster.
Suspension is dialed in on Raceland coilovers with T-304 stainless steel solid front strut mounts.
Simply put, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
This car was custom built from a 1990 VW Jetta GL with no accident history and it is an original no sunroof vehicle with manual windows and the basics.
The interior was sourced from two Jetta GLI 16V factory Recaro equipped cars.
The engine swap and conversion was sourced from a rear hit 1998 VW Jetta GLX with only 78k miles on the motor. The car had about 90k miles on it before the restoration, swap, and build. The engine conversion and swap was completed using factory parts and Euro-wise conversion kit.
Again, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
 Parts and Labor this car would be twice my asking price.
Send offers.
I will entertain trades, offers, and may offer a partial owner financing option.
Plan to sell this car by the end of the month, so don't hesitate if interested.
Vehicle will be advertised locally, appear at local car events with a for sale sign, and will be listed on eBay as it must be sold.
I am a car enthusiast, having built, modified, and tuned many vehicles over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle. I am selling this Jetta to focus on other projects and interests. This is an exceptional vehicle that you could drive anywhere. I feel that I do not drive it enough and thus have decided to list it for sale. Need the space, have to let go of my toys. Bring all offers.

I will assist with shipping, pickup, or delivery.

Please be aware:
I have a Wolfsburg Edition steering wheel but it is not currently installed, due to the need of a steering wheel hub adapter.
There is an air horn in the car and it is currently wired to a button on the dashboard. All wiring is correct except for this function and the windshield washer function.
Currently the horn and windshield washers are wired to buttons rather than their respective locations in the steering column.
I could not isolate the windshield washer switch toggle on the washer arm and therefore wired in a push button feature.
The upgraded air horn required a relay and these two functions could be wired to their factory locations, switches, and functionality if needed.
The wiring for these two functions (horn and windshield washers) was done as a temporary solution to opening up the steering column wiring.
The buttons are located in places which could be removed to maintain a factory look installation.
I had planned on correcting this when I installed the Wolfsburg steering wheel and just have not gotten around to it.
Pretty minor issue.
The headliner is in great shape, the Recaros are in excellent shape but there is a small spot on the driver seat that has a cut about one inch long. Yet it is in pretty good shape and not frayed or anything, probably could be stitched or glued. Only noticed it because I'm meticulous when it comes to my cars.
There is a Fuba Antenna is in the rear dash area, because I didn't want to drill a hole in the roof of the car.
Car has a recent tune, oil, lube, filter, new battery, new alternator, recent s-belt change, the Falken tires are decent, brakes are decent, but I would expect brakes and tires with normal wear and tear may need replacement within one year depending on how much you drive.
All-in-all this is comparable to a brand new car.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The 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.
