1998 Volkswagen Passat GLS Station Wagon TDI SWAPPED Manual 5 speed transmission.

This 1998 Passat started life as a 1.8t gas / 5 speed car.   It was converted to a TDI ( turbo diesel ) by a professional shop on the east coast.  I did NOT do the swap. I am pretty knowledgeable about this car, but please do not message me asking technical questions about swapping your car.   Specific questions about this car are of course welcome and if there is something i do not know, i might be able to consult the shop that built the car 2 years ago.

Car has functional and COLD Ac , cruise control works as it should , no CEL ( check engine light ) , all the power windows work , central locking works ( automatic door locks )  Comes with 2 factory Keys.  I have installed an Alpine CD player that has a USB cord going into the glove box to hook up iphone / ipod or other music device. 

I just did an 18 hour road trip last month -  and a 4 hour road trip this last monday.   Get in and GO -     This car has got 44-46 MPG's highway / interstate around 37 city / mixed. 

I listed quite a few things in the " WHATS WRONG " section above.    I hope that does not deter someone as this is a great looking car that runs awesome and probably forever. This Passat is my daily driver for hauling kids to school , me to work and the spontaneous road family road trip.  

As I was confirming this listing I realized that I have installed a small car Rockford Amp that is hooked up to a small removable 10" Subwoofer you can see in the back.  The Amp is mounted under the front dash and speaker wire is ran to the back so it can be easily be removed.  I was going to keep this AMP / SUB - but at BUY IT NOW price it can stay or new owner can talk to me about it. 

There is a spare tire , the jack and tools are all present.  All the storage compartments in the rear open / close as they should.   I did a quick " CLEAN " of the interior but did not Vacuum it out - it will be vacuumed before new owner picks up the car.

Rims and tires are in great shape - the tires are 205-55-16's on factory newer Passat wheels.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
