2005 GL TDI
181,000 Miles Recent additions: -4 Brand new Michelin Primacy Tires (over $500) -Rebuilt front end, all new control arms, etc. -All four new shocks/struts -Changed oil, fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter, in the last 500miles. - changed Thermostat, thermostat housing, coolant sensor and a hose in the back of the engine. (we had a small coolant leak and I went overboard in fixing it, no leaks now tho!) At 130,000miles we had a ton of work done on the car, -Water Pump, timing belt, alternator pulleys, etc He also Installed the BHW Balance shaft retrofit kit (so no annoying chain, just gear to gear). This costs several thousand dollars but fixes a design flaw of this car. Not doing this repair, often results in engine damage. -I also had a small leak in the EGR cooler at this time so I bypassed it. This does not effect the operation of the car, but you get a little emissions warning light. -Had the RocketChip installed at this time. This was an awesome upgrade and makes the car MUCH more fun to drive. No worries about accelerating onto a highway, plenty of passing power. -Installed updated Steel glowplugs. We literally have a book full of all the things we've done to the car in the last 4 years. I have always used the proper VW spec oil, coolant, and all other fluids, so no worries there. The things that need to be addressed as they are not perfect: -CV joints need to be done sometime in the near future as they are just starting to click on hard turns. -Car door locks are starting to act funny with the key fob or sometimes with the switch on the door. I've heard this is a common problem but have not looked into it yet. Doors and rear hatch all function perfectly when used with the key (manually). -Small piece of trim (1 inch) is broken by the rear driveside door. We looked into replacing it as it is a fairly common and thus cheap to fix issue, but honestly it never bothered us enough to worry about. Otherwise, the car is a 2005. It has been used. Minor scuffs from usage. So expect what you would expect from an 8 year old car that has 181,000 miles. I am aware of no mechanical defects other than what I have outlined above, I would trust driving it to wherever it needs to be driven. This VW is very good for long road trips. Has 12V connections in the back of the car which we used for a cooler, is comfortable to drive long distances with, and gets good fuel economy. Fuel usage from the factory is stated as 24 city 37 highway. We kept a logbook where we manually entered fuel economy. On long road trips I could break 40mpg, in town only we never actually got below 29mpg. I would expect an average of 34 or so real world MPG. This isn't as high as a Golf or Jetta, but the car is so much more comfortable and it feels much more stable at highway speeds. Reason I'm selling it? Simple. We recently got into restoring an old camper with the idea of doing a lot more traveling and camping before the kids get too old. Can the VW tow it? Perhaps, but the wife and I would feel more comfortable doing it in a larger vehicle. So we got a Ford Explorer that will be better suited to that duty. Sure going to miss our zippy little car and great fuel economy tho :P Last two pictures are the small damage. Last one is a scratch in the surface of the paint. It is hard to see but I wanted to show it. Second to last picture is where that piece of trim is missing. Thanks for looking! Drew |

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Felicity Ace sinks with thousands of VWs, Porsches, Lamborghinis
Tue, Mar 1 2022The stricken ship Felicity Ace sank overnight after a week of salvage efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful. The ship, which was carrying up to 4,000 VW Group cars, went to the bottom unexpectedly while a salvage team was attempting to tow it to shore, Bloomberg reports. "Initial reports from the local salvage team state that the vessel had sunk at around 9AM local time having suffered a list to starboard," Mitsui O.S.K. Lines transportation company (MOL), which owns the Felicity Ace, said in a statement released early Tuesday.  "The last vessel position was around 220nm off the Azores," MOL said. "The salvage crafts will remain around the area to monitor the situation. Further information will be provided as it becomes available." The ship sank after being battered by waves and listing 45 degrees to starboard, the ship’s operator said. “The weather was pretty rough out there,” Pat Adamson, a spokesperson for MOL Ship Management (Singapore), a unit of Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd., said by phone. “And then she sank, which was a surprise.” VW, Porsche, Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini-branded models were aboard the ship, which was headed to Rhode Island from GermanyÂ’s Emden port when the fire broke out on Feb. 16. Rough seas and ongoing fires fueled by the lithium-ion batteries of EVs onboard delayed the ship's salvage and recovery operations for the better part of a week. While the likelihood of salvaging the smoke and potentially fire- and water-damaged vehicles from Felicity Ace's hold was slim to none, some had held out hope that their special-ordered vehicles might survive the mishap. The Panama-flagged Felicity Ace was safely evacuated of its 22 crew members by the Portuguese navy after a fire started in its hold more than a week ago. The ship can carry up to 4,000 cars. European carmakers declined to discuss how many vehicles and what models were on board, but it appears to have been transporting approximately 2,500 cars, including roughly 1,100 Porsches and an undetermined number of Volkswagens. The cars aboard were on order. Porsche customers in the United States were being contacted by their dealers, the company said. “We are already working to replace every car affected by this incident and the first new cars will be built soon,” Angus Fitton, vice president of PR at Porsche Cars North America, Inc., told The Associated Press in an email. The ship sank in water nearly 10,000 feet deep, the Portuguese Navy said.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
