This is a clean and well maintained 2005 VW Passat GL Wagon with the 2.0L Turbo Diesel.  I purchased the car with approximately 93,000 miles on it 16 months ago.  I have full service records since that time and performed quite a bit of preventative maintenance.  The car has just rolled past 115,000 miles and the money has been invested to keep it on the road for much longer. 

The car was a daily driver and very economic, often running just above 40mpg on the highway.  It has a smooth comfortable ride, especially on the highway.  I registered the vehicle in LA and then moved to TX and registered it here.  We have just purchased another vehicle so we no longer have a spot in the garage for this car.  Tough to let it go after putting so much money in to it and knowing she's set to run another 100,000 miles worry free.

I replaced the factory radio with a Kenwood DNX6990HD which has built-in Garmin Navigation, Pandora and iPod control, DVD Playback, Bluetooth streaming audio and hands-free calling (cost $999.99 new).  The speakers have also been upgraded.  Great sounding system which brings newer luxuries to this Passat.

Here's the list of major work that I have had done:

NEW Timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt roller, water pump
NEW Torque convertor
NEW CV axles, front struts, rear shocks, control arms, front rotors, brake pads, ABS Wheel Sensor
NEW Thermostat and auxiliary fan
NEW Turbocharger boost hoses

Most recent maintenance: Replaced Fuel and Oil Filter, Changed oil and performed Brake fluid flush @ 112,525miles.

Known issues: the car has intermittently displayed "Emissions Workshop" and the technician identified the air intake motor voltage as the cause.  Directly testing the motor showed voltage in normal range.  There is no effect on the engine performance when this fault is displayed.  If the air intake motor actually failed the engine wouldn't run.  I saw no need to change out the part as the fault was infrequent.

I can answer any specific questions you may have about the car, so please ask.

VW App-Connect gets celeb-studded campaign

Sat, Sep 19 2015

Volkswagen is hoping that some celebrity faces help get the word out about App-Connect in the German brand's latest models with the MIB II infotainment system. The humorous, new commercial titled Party (above) stars Adam Scott, Michael Pena, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and the three of them are using voice commands and the touchscreen to show off the tech while planning a party. Another 30-second commercial titled Sorry with the three guys is coming along soon, as well, to advertise it even more. App-Connect is part of VW's adoption of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink. By supporting all three standards, pretty much every smartphone user can plug into the vehicle's infotainment system. The tech is already available on the 2016 Tiguan and Golf R but is rolling out to all of the German brand's vehicles this model year, except for the Touareg and Eos. VOLKSWAGEN DEMONSTRATES ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY IN NEW CELEBRITY-DRIVEN MARKETING CAMPAIGN Sep 17, 2015 First brand to offer all three major smartphone integration platforms; available on virtually every model and nearly every trim Highlights App-Connect, a new technology which makes compatible smartphone integration seamless through Apple CarPlay®, Google Android Auto™, and MirrorLink® Multimedia Campaign stars Hollywood celebrities Michael Pena, Adam Scott and Christopher Mintz-Plasse Herndon, Va. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced the release of a new advertising campaign that highlights the brand's all-new infotainment system, MIB II, and its advanced smartphone integration technology, App-Connect. As part of Volkswagen's available Car-Net® suite of connectivity offerings, App-Connect allows for seamless integration of compatible smartphones across Apple CarPlay®, Google Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®; making it the first automaker to do so. The campaign kicks off with two 30-second television commercials, titled "Party" and "Sorry" starring Adam Scott, Michael Pena and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. In each spot, the celebrities navigate App-Connect by utilizing voice commands, the vehicle's touchscreen, and steering wheel controls.

Volkswagen Tiguan tunes up for Frankfurt show

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Volkswagen is in the phase of testing where it's simply beating the crap out of the next-generation Tiguan. The German manufacturer is conducting high-altitude towing tests in the Alps of mules wearing the production-ready body of its second-gen compact CUV. This is the first time we've seen the Tiguan in its production body, and despite the ample camouflage, the resemblance to not only the Passat sedan, but the Cross Coupe GTE and CrossBlue concepts, is clear. That's particularly true based on what we can see of the new Tiguan's grille and headlight treatment. In back, the Tiguan will adopt a more sporting roofline, particularly in the aggressive rake of the D-pillar. It's significantly different than the current car, and frankly, that's no bad thing. Expect the usual array of gas and diesel four cylinders with both front- and all-wheel drive on offer. On the high end, meanwhile, our spies claim a 300-horsepower R model could eventually be added to the range. Aside from its new look, future variants could see the crossover spawn both a long-wheelbase version and a coupe-like model. That said, we're wondering how a long-wheelbase Tiguan would fit into the VW range alongside the long-rumored, American-built, three-rower. According to our spies, though, neither one of those vehicles would arrive until well after the vehicle shown above debuts. As for when we can expect to see the second-gen Tiguan, our spies point to September's Frankfurt Motor Show. Be sure to check back then.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
