2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 Variant (Wagon) B5.5
- 164,702 KM (+ possibly 1 or 2km as the car has been moved around a few times since the photo) - Blue exterior - Black leather interior - Climate Control - Power Locks, Power Windows, Power heated mirrors - Viper Valet remote start - 2+ keys - Sunroof - HID's - R-Line Grill (OEM Grill also included) - Compact spare tire - AM/FM/CD/Cassette/6 disc changer (Factory Monsoon with steering wheel controls) - Cruise - Heated Seats Overall, the car is in decent condition but it does have some issues. - Car is not driveable. Engine runs extremely rough. Possibly the timing chain skipped as is seems to be misfiring on the entire left bank. Codes include misfires, cam sensor, cam adjuster, torque converter. - Shifter will not physically go into the lowest gear. Feels like the cable is stuck on something. However the car shifts into all gears fine when in Drive or by using the TipTronic shift. The car was running fine and dandy. I stopped somewhere and turned the car off. When I returned it would barely start and did not have enough power to drive. Makes a lot of noise around the timing chain area. Mechanic is confident that no valves are bent at this point. - Drivers door sensor is not functioning. This means that the car does not know when the drivers door is open. With this car, when you unlock it, it has a time delay where it expects to see a door open. If a door doesn't open in this time period it re-arms security. Since it can't tell if the drivers door is open, you have to put the key in the ignition within this time frame to prevent auto re-arming. - Drivers heated seat not working properly. The control has 5 levels. On 5 (highest) the seat gets uncomfortably hot. On 4 its off. Thought to be the switch. - Various scratches (See photos) - one "flap" on the left dash vent doesn't operate - New passenger tie rod end, alignment and 1 tire less than 3000 km ago. (all season tires) - New R-Line grill. OEM grill included. (But not the W8 grill badge. I would like to keep it for sentimental reasons) - Interior in good overall condition. Minor scuffs here and there. - Homelink not broken! - New K&N Air filter - Not even installed yet - 3 new K&N oil filters - New balance belt and tensioner - in box, not installed. - Passenger HID intermittently won't stay lit. (The car has Daytime Running Lamps. When you turn on the key, the headlights ignite. At this point the passenger headlight always lights. Once you start/crank the engine, the headlights go out then reignite when the key is let go. Its at this time they headlight doesn't always come back on. Seems to be a common problem as you can read about it on forums. ) - Car has adhesive oil pan heater in place. Untested by me as I have not had the car through a winter. - Has a "gorilla gear" cargo liner in good shape. Slight curling on some of the corners. - Fuel pump controller in perfect condition. When I got the car I checked it out and it was dry. I bagged it and sealed it to prevent future problems. - Remote starter transmitter battery is getting low. It intermittently doesn't send a signal. (There is only 1 remote for the starter) - Everything else works fine. (Sunroof, radio, climate control, door locks, etc etc. ) - Note the fog light grill is out as that is where the tow hook is and we needed to winch it on the trailer. The OEM fog light grills are in bad shape. I have new aftermarket ones from ebay to be included. - Right hand fog light has been modified to accept a Vision X Solstice Prime LED light. The intention was to do the other side as well. I would like to keep the light and as such there will be no RH foglight. Foglights can be found on eBay for about $35. Should you wish to keep the Vision X light, there will be an additional $175 payable above the auction price. You will also get the other Vision x Light for the left side, new in package. You can see the difference in the 10 watt LED versus the OEM 55 watt halogen. Bright! Car is currently equipped with a cellular mount / amplifier and a dashcam. These items are not included. I live about 60 miles North of International Falls, MN in Ontario Canada. Car is currently located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For all intents and purposes, the pickup location will be Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a big centre and has rail and truck transportation for automobiles. Depending on your plans, you may need to budget ~$100 to have it towed to the carrier. It fits fine on a Uhaul Auto Transport. Car can be seen and started with an appointment during normal business hours. Awesome car. I just am not in a position to fix it and it will be missed dearly. Car is as-is / where-is with no warranty and is currently not in a drivable condition. Short of the engine problem the car will pass Ontario and/or Manitoba safety inspections. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Lights, Glass, etc are all good.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
Dyno run hints VW GTI power might be significantly underrated
Wed, Feb 4 2015Are you one of the lucky owners of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI? If yes, you should be happy, because your 210- or 220-horsepower hot hatchback might actually have more like 260 ponies under its hood. That's according to a dyno test from a vendor on, of all places, a Ford Focus ST enthusiast forum. The company is estimating a 15-percent drivetrain loss with the GTI's best result a whopping 263 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque at the crank. That's a tremendous difference from the 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque that Volkswagen claims. Of course, this is merely one dyno session on one car. We'll have to wait until more 2015 GTI owners get on the rolling road to see if Volkswagen really was as conservative about its hot hatch's output as FocusST.org claims.
