2004 Volkswagen Passat GLS TDI
Impeccably maintained by me and the one other original owner. Volkswagen imported this TDI model into the US only two years. They remain very desirable road cars and are well-built. Don't let the mileage scare you away from a great car with many years and miles ahead of it. I have all service records since the car was purchased new! It has been a good car but my wife wants a Lexus. Below are some of the highlights and features of this Passat:
Upgrades
Overhead dome light upgrade from a W8 Passat - red twilight illumination of console at night
Xenon headlights - these are true projector HIDs, not the blinding reflectors that some converted cars have
Balance Shaft Module replaced at 176,000 miles - if you dont know about the BSM, do a search on TDIclub.com. This replaces the chain driven BSM with a geared one.
VDO Boost gauge mounted in A-pillar pod. Gauge illuminates in correct VW blue.
Rocketchip RC1 Tune for improved fuel economy and acceleration
Maintenance Highlights
Only proper 505.01 full synthetic oil used since the car was new
Camshaft (OEM not cheap Chinese), camshaft bearings, followers and seal replaced this month and carries a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty from the service facility- cam broken in properly with Joe Gibbs break in oil
All four injectors replaced with Genuine VW PD earlier this month
Driveshafts replaced in November 2010. These are German rebuilt axles from Raxles, not the cheap Chinese knock-offs from the auto parts store that don't balance
Torque converter was replaced at 210,000 miles
Transmission was power flushed at 226,000 miles
Oil was just changed. I used Schaeffer's 9000 5W40 with a new filter. The buyer will be good on an oil change until 240,000 miles
Serpentine belt replaced this month
Timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and roller were replaced at 176,000 miles
Fan clutch replaced at 176,000 miles
New Kumho tires were installed less than 5000 miles ago.
AC compressor replaced three years ago-air blows cold
Everything on this car works- every switch, button, and light. But it is a 10-year old car with a few scratches, dings, etc. I have tried to represent these in my photos.

I welcome pre-purchase inspections and test drives. I have bought and sold several cars and motorcycles on eBay and desire a happy buyer with no surprises. I value my perfect feedback. I do reserve the right to end the auction early since it is for sale locally. Mileage may increase since it is my wife's daily driver. For the winning bidder, I can meet your shipper or pick you up at the ATL airport if you want to do a fly and drive.
Paypal is OK for the deposit but balance has to be cash or verifiable funds

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs
Tue, Oct 6 2015FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
To solve diesel problem, VW might need two fixes
Fri, Oct 2 2015Volkswagen says that a fix is on the way for its 11 million vehicles around the globe that are equipped with diesel engine software that can evade emissions tests. The problem might be far more complicated than simply creating a single solution for all of them, though. According to Automotive News citing Reuters, two remedies to cover different NOx-reducing systems could be necessary, and both potentially affect performance. Earlier examples of the EA 189 diesel engine used a lean NOx trap to reduce the harmful material coming from the tailpipe. According to experts in the Automotive News report, a software update might allow the engines to achieve compliance, but that could affect fuel economy. VW already tried this route once before the scandal came to light, but tests by the California Air Resources Board still showed the figures were too high. Later, some of the 2.0 TDI engines began using Selective Catalytic Reduction that reduced NOx by injecting a urea solution into the exhaust stream. According to Automotive News, a software update for this equipment might increase the amount of the substance used. Not only would that mean topping up the fluid more often, but there still could be some reduction in fuel economy. But, since the 2-liter, 4-cylinder TDI engine that sits inside the diesel vehicles first mentioned as being affected by the issue in the US don't have a urea treatment system, VW would need to install them into these cars. VW still hasn't officially outlined its solution (or solutions) to the emissions issue but is expected to soon. The automaker's long-term evasion of regulations with these diesel engines pumped vast quantities of additional NOx into the air. The substance is known to be linked with smog and acid rain. The US Department of Justice is already beginning an investigation into the company, and politicians are pushing for harsh punishments.
Recharge Wrap-up: Audi's EV SUV to be built in Brussels, Mercedes-Benz to extend EV range
Thu, Jan 21 2016European Union Industry Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska is demanding that Volkswagen compensate owners of cars affected by the diesel emissions scandal. She says European customers should receive the same goodwill compensation as American drivers, whom VW is providing with $1,000 worth of recompense. "The issue of compensation goes beyond the difference in the legal setup between the US and the EU and plays a fundamental role in viewing VW as a responsible and trustworthy company," says Bienkowska in a letter to Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller. Bienkowska has also requested detailed data about the vehicles and "corrective measures" VW is planning. Read more from Automotive News Europe. Mercedes-Benz will equip its plug-in vehicles with higher-capacity batteries as it expands its electric model range. While the PHEVs it has released so far have electric driving ranges between 14 and 20 miles, better batteries should extend that range starting around model years 2018 or 2019. After releasing a slew of plug-ins by the end of next year, Mercedes-Benz development director Dr. Thomas Weber says, "The next-generation vehicle will overcome the 30-km to 50-km hurdle and then the next generation after that will be 80-100 km when they run as pure electric cars." Read more at Green Car Reports, or from Motoring. Audi will build its pure electric SUV at its plant in Brussels, Belgium. The batteries for the vehicle based on the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept (perhaps to be called the Q6) will also be built at the Brussels plant when production begins in 2018. With this announcement comes news that production of the A1 will shift from Brussels to Martorell, Spain, while Q3 production will move from Spain to Gyor Hungary. Audi says the Brussels facility will "become a key plant for electric mobility at the Volkswagen Group." Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release below. Audi production network: ready for electric mobility - Premium manufacturer to produce large series of electric cars in Brussels as of 2018 - New models for Martorell (Spain) and Gyor (Hungary) - Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: "We are increasing our efficiency and bundling key competencies" Audi is preparing its international production network for the mobility of the future. Large series production of the first purely electric driven SUV from Audi will begin at the site in Brussels in 2018. The plant will also produce its own batteries.
