Up for sale is a Never Smoked in or wrecked 2004 Passat Wagon TDI. I am the second owner I have owned it since 16k miles previous owner bought new in FL and did not like the diesel somehow she got vw to take back the car and traded for a gas one vw sent the car to auction I bought it right here on ebay flew to Alabama and drove it home to FL. This car was driven mostly by my Wife and was the car of choice for yearly summer vacations to the smokie mountains in NC. The car is very comfortable to drive it averages in the mid 30s for mpg no matter how you drive on the hwy it shines 38-40 mpg at 80 mph you can't beat it. Lots of tourqe and get up and go. Feels like a six cylinder. I have done all the maintenance myself always used synthetic oil 505.1 oil filter always changed with oil and fuel filter changed every other oil change shes running like a champ no oil pump noise that I have heard of on the tdi forums no problems with the transmission the car has 131k miles on the odometer but the engine has 65k miles on the top end that was replaced by vw when it had around 66k miles on it. A defective timing belt went and the top end of the motor was replaced with a new head not a rebuilt one new valves,cam,oil pump drive ect the work was done by vw on 11/2008 I have all receipts no problems since.
Whats New : The tires are 60k goodyear fuelmax with 10k on them, The right front drive, Cv boots, Alternator, Battery, AC cooling fan, New breaks front and rear.
Whats bad : Super Small coolent leak about a cup a month it is the coolent flange $66 part I was going to have it fixed when I have the timing belt replaced which is coming due in the next 20k miles timming belt kit $220 their are a few door dings and minor scratches some of the soft touch coating has rubbed off on the center console.
Other than that it is a clean fuel efficient car with no problems. The reason I am selling is the Wife bought a new subaru outback pretty much the same car but she lost 10+ mpg and half the power ouch I would keep it but I have a truck for towing and three vehicles we dont need. Hate to see it go. But, got to keep the Wife happy. Also will include a set of cross bars for the roof racks.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
