 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

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.

The VW emissions carnage assessment with an upside

Mon, Sep 28 2015

Bombs cause destruction. Even if they're intelligently guided and pinpoint, there's always collateral damage. The strange Volkswagen brew, which is still spontaneously combusting in plain sight, will result in aftershocks for years. And the professional end of the corporation's top leadership will not be the only casualties. Blows are striking shareholder confidence, the residual value of the cars involved, consumer confidence, and the German economy itself. A hard rain's going to fall elsewhere, too. Here are just four damage assessment areas. The High-Compression Past and Low-Compassion Future of Diesels Despite European and especially German manufacturers' high belief that diesel engines were a way to light-duty automotive salvation, VW's scandal started the last nail in the fuel's coffin. Regulations both in the U.S. and in Europe for particulates and nitrogen oxide (NOx) are getting much harder to meet, and this is at the very core of VW's deception. Even with the high-cost exhaust after-treatment systems, sky-high fuel pressure, and sophisticated electronics, the inescapable NOx realities won't be washable by technology in an affordable way. German engineering pride will have to work a real miracle to meet these looming regs and the stain of VW's scandal did the whole diesel movement no favors. Perhaps not so ironically, the E.U. adopted more stringent emission standards this year, which closely mimic the U.S. Tier 2, Bin 5 figures phased in for 2008. Indeed, when VW announced it was able to meet the stringent US NOx emissions standards in 2009 for its diesel engines without urea injection as an exhaust after-treatment, it was a particularly high point of engineering pride for the company. No other manufacturer had figured out how to do so. One Honda official at the time remarked that they had simply no idea how VW was achieving this feat and Honda couldn't come close. Well, neither could VW. On a macro scale, European cities are also starting to face government fines for air quality violations. This is forcing those cities to find various ways to cut smog-related causes like tailpipe emissions. In fact, Paris has gone to the length of restricting car use on a sliding scale when smog persists, while electric cars are free to roam. France's longer and larger plan is banning diesel fuel for light-duty transportation entirely. But why was there a frothy focus by the European manufacturers on diesels in the first place?

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites

Fri, Jul 21 2023

Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. “Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen
