 Passat B4V-TDI #744, Wolfsburg Edition

1996 VW Passat B4V-TDI Wagon #744. This is one of the original 980 B4V-TDI wagons sold in the US in 1996. It is one of the remaining 622 still registered in the US.

This Passat B4V #744 was built 7-12-96 at the Audi assembly plant in Emden, Germany.

It was shipped to a VW dealer in Boulder, Colorado and sold new on 8-6-96. The original owner lived in Colorado until 2006 when he moved to Oregon. The Wagon was in Oregon until 2012 when it was purchased by NICECARS. This B4V Wagon has always been a western car, important in that it was not subjected to the salty winter roads of the Northeast section of the US. Western/Southern cars are the best.   This wagon gets 50 MPG using pump diesel on the highway.

We found no evidence this B4V-TDI Wagon  had any accidents (history report shows NO accidents) and we are convinced it had original paint when it arrived at NICECARS. The original paint on the roof and the hood were dull so it underwent a full repaint, base/coat clear/coat with PPG paint. The clear was color-sanded and buffed/polished to a high shine. It was painted the original "Emerald Green Pearl Metallic, LC6P/W7. The mechanical upgrades include new air filter, new fuel filter, new cabin filter, new German timing belt, new tensioner, new Serpentine belt, new roller, new v-belt, new water pump (German with steel impellers) new valve cover gasket, new intake to turbo pipe, cleaned intake manifold, cleaned inner cooler, replaced clamps on turbo cooler tubes, new turbo N-75 sensor,  new 109 sensor, new German color coded synthetic vacuum hoses, new return fuel lines, new crank vent assembly, cleaned electrical grounds on engine and body, new Diesel battery, flushed engine-new German Pentosin Synthetic oil-Bosch filter, new gear oil, flushed cooling system-new coolant reservoir and sending unit, new VW G12+ coolant, new glow plugs and new glow plug harness, new glow plug fuses, serviced injectors, serviced and timed injection pump. VW-GLS alloy wheels and new tires, new brakes, new brake rotors, rebuilt Audi Calipers, new OEM drive axles, new tie-rods, new ball joints and new wheel bearings, flushed brake hydraulics-new Pentosin DOT-4 fluid, new clutch fluid, new Bilstein struts, new alignment, new VW door handles with new OEM door strikers, new OEM VW windshield, new OEM emblems, new antenna mast/gasket, new floor mats, new Halo headlights with new bulbs, new OEM leather gear shift boot, new OEM leather parking brake handle, new aftermarket cup holders.

Bosch fuel pumps spark recall of 2015 Golf, GTI and Audi A3

Tue, Apr 28 2015

A few weeks ago, BMW and Nissan both issued recalls for some of their vehicles to replace Bosch-supplied fuel pumps. The pumps had nickel plating that could flake off and cause a failure. Volkswagen Group is the latest automaker to be affected by the problem and has a campaign for the 2015 Audi A3, VW Golf and GTI. In total, 6,204 units of these models are in need of repair. The problem with the VW Group vehicles is identical to the previous recalls. It's possible for the pump's nickel plating to come off and cause increased friction. Eventually, this can result in the component's failure. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), there are no reports of accidents or injuries from this issue in the VW Group models. Bosch spokesperson Linda Beckmeyer tells Autoblog that these vehicles don't all necessary share an identical fuel pump, but the parts all use the same plating process. The problem also prompted repairs of the 2014 Ford Escape several months ago, she indicated. When asked if the issue could prompt more campaigns, Beckmeyer said that she "can't speak to that" because automakers decide on the recalls. Owners should receive notice of the problem soon, but according to the NHTSA documentation, there currently aren't enough pumps to fix all of these vehicles. "Bosch is working closely with automakers regarding replacement parts," Beckmeyer said. When available, dealers will replace the components free of charge for affected customers.

SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing. CONSEQUENCE: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps, free of charge.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.

VW reaches out to diesel consumers with new website

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen is starting to get details out to the public about its diesel emissions evasions in the US, and the automaker now has a dedicated website for consumers. The first thing that visitors see is an apology video from Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn. The site also details all of the VW TDI's currently known to be affected here, including the 2009-2015 Jetta, 2009-2014 Jetta SportWagen, 2010-2015 Golf, 2015 Golf SportWagen, 2012-2015 Beetle and Beetle convertible, and 2012-2015 Passat. Although, the Audi A3 should be on there, too. The company repeatedly reassures owners that these vehicles are safe to drive and promises it's developing a fix as quickly as possible to make them emissions compliant. On the site's FAQ, VW also clarifies that there's still a stop-sale on all of these models with the 2.0-liter TDI, including certified pre-owned ones. That could change soon because the automaker believes that the 2016 model year examples are legal, but the Environmental Protection Agency needs to sign off before they could go to dealers. Until the diesels can be sold, there also won't be any TDI advertising by VW. "We are working at full speed on a technical solution that we will present to partners, to our customers and to the public as swiftly as possible," Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen passenger car division, says in a statement. He also offers an improved accounting of the number of vehicles affected. VW had previously said that there were 11 million with the emissions evading software worldwide. According to Diess, around five million of these came from the VW brand. Audi has said there about 2.1 million of its models affected globally with between 13,000 and 14,000 in America. DR. HERBERT DIESS, CEO OF THE VOLKSWAGEN PASSENGER CARS BRAND, EXPLAINS: "WE ARE WORKING AT FULL SPEED ON A SOLUTION." Wolfsburg, September 25, 2015 – In the press release dated September 22, 2015, the Volkswagen Group announced that Volkswagen Group vehicles worldwide are affected by the current issues regarding emissions. The internal evaluation revealed that approximately five million Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand vehicles are affected worldwide. Certain models and model years of these vehicles (such as the sixth generation Volkswagen Golf, the seventh generation Volkswagen Passat and the first generation Volkswagen Tiguan) are equipped exclusively with type EA 189 diesel engines.
