2012 Volkswagen Jetta on 2040-cars
Palm Harbor, Florida, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: latanyalhherbel@ukwriters.net .
Okay, where do I start? Firstly, I don't need to sell the car, but I've got my eyes on something else, and I can't
go forward with that until I free up some space. I've been through it all with this car. Blood, sweat, tears,
anger, frustration, excitement, and a few bank accounts. Been building the car since I purchased it new, nearly 4
years ago. I can finally say the car is as perfect as it can get, and running stronger than ever.
The car has never been in any accidents. The only damage it ever had was a front bumper that got damaged from road
debris. I have since purchased a new OEM bumper. The car has now gone through a full metal widebody build with
matching front and rear bumpers. Both front and rears have been widened approximately an extra 2.5". All work has
been done by Decaudellas in Melbourne, FL. . The body on the car is a 9.5/10.Currently the only cosmetic flaw is a
small chip on left side of rear bumper. I can get a picture for those serious. Those that are familiar with Clay
and his shop (Decaudellas), know that his work is nothing short of perfect, show quality. Around the same time, I
had a custom 4 point roll cage built for the car and powder coated white to match the exterior. It is easily
removable if desired. Along with cage, 4 point harnesses also went in.
The only people that have ever touched this car are either myself, or almost always USP Motorsports in Coral
Springs,FL - not even local VW dealers. They've done all of the major work on the car, from custom parts, to
suspension, full engine and transmission build, etc, etc, etc. I have receipts and invoices of every single thing
that's gone into the car or that's been done to it since the day I purchased it. Over $60k worth of labor and parts
(I have ALL receipts). I gladly welcome PPI to those that are serious.
For those that know the car, know it. There's a 100+ page build thread on Vortex about the car, since the day I got
it, and everything it's been through. From the time it was bagged, to when I decided to go APR stage 3+, to an even
bigger turbo upgrade with custom tuning, to the 10 second quarter mile runs, built head, etc etc..
I could go on and on about this car really, there's just way way way too much to list and talk about. If you're
serious about the car, feel free to mesage me, and we can further discuss it. I'll also give you my phone number
for direct contact if serious.
And NO, I will not part out any of the car.
On to specs:
2012 GLI
6 Speed Manual
23,xxx miles (car gets driven about 1-2 times every two or three weeks.)
Single Owner car. I bought it new, and have had it ever since.
Engine: It's bulletproof. The built head was finally put on and tested at about 18k miles. When the motor was apart
at that same time, everything was checked, including pistons, rods, cylinder walls, compression, everything. The
motor is perfect, healthy. Not a single hint of any problems, no leaks, nothing. The car currently has two custom
APR tunes. One for 93 octane, which makes anywhere from 420-450 ish whp depending on boost settings, and a race gas
tune which makes 520-580 whp depending on boost settings. There is a Greddy Profec Spec II boost controller to keep
track of all that. Everything of which I will go over with whoever is serious about the car. Also have dyno sheets
of everything, videos, etc. There was a new Precision 5858 turbo put in around 16k miles, so everything is like
new.

VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas
Sun, Sep 25 2022Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement. RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
