Volkswagen Jetta 2006 1.9l Tdi Diesel -package 2 - Spice Red on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Alabama, United States
|
The 2006 VW Jetta 1.9L TDI Engine was the last of the "dirty diesels". I have burned only Highway diesel in this car, but since the Government was so nice to remove the Sulfer from Diesel Fuel, which was used as a lubricant by the engine, I have had to add a supplement with my purchased diesel fuel. I have used FPPF many times, but on a regular basis, I use good ole Marvel Mystery Oil that can be purchased at your local Walmart.
This is a very unusual 2006 Jetta. I am the second owner and I purchased it from a nice couple from Alaska that had moved to near Waco, TX, which is where I took title to this car. This car is actually a 2007 Body and the manual is a 2007 Manual, except for the fact it had to be Titled as a 2006 because of emissions problems with this specific engine. The frame of the car, I am told by my mechanic, is a 2005 VW Passat frame. This became important when I replaced the clutch around 110K miles and we both found out this fact. Again, the car has been meticulously maintained. All fluids were completely changed out at 135K miles and this was done at the 70K point also. Yes, you will be riding around in a freshly changed timing belt also. The Oil and Fuel Filters were changed as recently as 165K. This car has the Wolf's Burg suspension under the car, which is according to my mechanic is the racing type suspension. It was completely replaced around 135K also. I forget how many miles are on the tires, but they have plenty of tread life left in them. The car is equipped with a Manual (5 Speed) Transmission, is a Package 2 Car which means it has every available option for this model year with exception of Navigation. It is Spice Red and I have had many compliments on this car and the color; it draws a lot of attention. Your mileage will vary with how you drive the car. I have gotten as high as 48.2 miles per gallon, and as low as 42. There have been no major modifications to this car; there is some aftermarket stuff that will improve the mileage, but I will leave that up to you. I believed in the German Engineering that this was the best that VW could do at the time. This is a great car that gets better than average diesel mileage. It has a driving range of 650+ miles, so you will be passing a lot of gas stations on your way to wherever. Why as I selling this fine car? I have purchased a larger car, 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid, that will beat the statistics in this ad. 50 City and 45 Highway with a 700 mile range is hard to beat in a mid-sized car. I just do not need two cars! I live in the Huntsville, AL area. Local pick-ups encouraged. I would be happy to met the winning bidder half-way of the journey, as long as they have cash or certified funds in hand to purchase the car. I always enjoy an adventure! |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
