I have a 1992 Jetta for sale. I have driven this car for the last seven years and put on 120,000. Recently it started to get oil in the coolant which is a sign that the head gasket is leaking so I decided to replace the head gasket. While removing the head bolts, two of them snapped. I got the head off but the bolts are still in the block and will have to be drilled out. Because I drive this to work every day, 80 miles round trip, I kept it maintained fairly well. It has good tires, the glow plugs were replaced in 2012 for last winter, the front and rear struts were replaced, the right side inner and outer tie rods, the left side outer tie rod, both lower ball joints, and the front end aligned within the last 20,000 miles. It tracks straight. The exhaust system is new from the header pipe to the tailpipe. The new header pipe does not have a catalytic converter in it. Most of the mileage I put on this car is on I-95 going to the airport. The injector pump was replaced 2 years ago. Within the last 10K miles I replaced the 4 injectors and the fuel tubes from the injector pump to the injectors.(all new, nothing used or rebuilt) Since the head is off you can view the valves and top of the pistons to see that there is no damage. The car has over 300K miles and although it ran good when I started this, I considered popping out the pistons and re ringing them. Half the work is done and it would zero time the engine. If you are not familiar with the Eco turbo diesels, as I was not when I bought this car, in 1992 there were only 52 of them made and of those only 47 were sold before they switched the line over to start making the newer MK3's. In 1992 when the last one came off the line they were already rarer that a '57 T-Bird.

Check out the history of the 1991 and 1992 Eco Turbo Diesels at http://www.oocities.org/vwecodiesel/overview.htm

There are engine blocks on ebay for $250 for anyone that has the energy to re ring the pistons, you could have a zero time short block.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."
