2006 Volkwagen Jetta Tdi 5 Speed/manual on 2040-cars
Ford City, Pennsylvania, United States
The car currently has 139,xxx miles on it (I do drive it every now and then). It has proven to be a very reliable and economical vehicle. The only reason I am selling it is because I bought a brand new diesel car. I averaged 47 mpg (hand calculated) in the hilly western Pennsylvania roads.
The good: The mileage of the car. As you know, these cars are often used to travel long distances, and they rack up lots of miles. Most TDI's in this year range are closer to 200k miles. The 06 TDI has a few very common problems, one of those being the camshaft wear. The camshaft in this vehicle was replaced at 115k miles, as well as the lifters, timing belt, and a new single mass clutch. So mechanically, aside of routine preventative maintenance, it would not be uncommon to put 50k miles on it, before anything else needs done (check the timing belt) The car also got new pads/rotors about 15k miles ago I am including two sets of wheels/tires. The first set (as pictured) are the factory wheels. Two tires have plenty of tread on them, the other two will pass inspection, but I'm a little OCD and I would replace them. The second set of tires are a set of 15" steelies with winter tires (only one season on them). They still have lots of tread left, and the car is damn near unstoppable in the snow with them on. The car has an aftermarket Clarion head unit with bluetooth The rear wheel bearings were replaced at 100k The rear coil springs were replaced at 130k The bad: One of the common problems with this year Jetta is the headliner. It is starting to shrink and sag a little bit There is some surface rust on the driver's side door (I believe the previous owner opened the door and hit something and never addressed the problem) The plastic gear on the outside passenger door handle doesn't always catch. sometimes you have to pull on it twice to open the door The door lock/unlock button on the driver's side door doesn't work The airbag light is on |

Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet
Fri, Oct 3 2014Zero Motorcycles will be at three law enforcement conferences this month, including COPSWEST Training and Expo, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Vehicle Test and Emergency Vehicle Product Expo and International Association of Chiefs of Police Expo.

Zero also offers the MMX, SP and DSP for police and military use. Learn more about the events in the press release below. Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe. When a Detroit Chevrolet dealership lost its Internet connection, it turned to one of its Chevy Volts for a temporary fix. After the regular connection at Buff Whelan Chevrolet went down, it plugged in a Volt showroom model equipped with 4G LTE, and used its connection to resume business. The car can handle up to seven connected devices, so the team used a Malibu to connect the rest of its computers. When a customer asked why the Volt was on, the team explained the whole situation, leading to one impressed customer. Read more at Automotive News.

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
