1980 VW Rabbit Pick-up (Caddy)

1.8L 3 Speed Automatic

This is being re-listed as the winning bidder had a family emergency (Verified), so was let off the hook after fixing me up with my eBay fees. 

The camper top is no longer for sale with the auction. I am keeping it for my  other truck.

This is a pretty solid truck. I came to own it through various trades. The strut towers, underside, are not rusted. The bed is solid and has been coated. The windshield is cracked. The paint is an amateur job and there are dings and some minor surface rust here and there. (See pictures).

The 1.8 L engine runs good. The truck originally came with a 1.5 L engine that was physically the same on the outside as the 1.8L that is in there now. The transmission shifts like it is suppose to with the only problem being that the plastic speedo drive gear spins freely on the shaft. There is an access plate that can be removed to repair this issue without removing the transmission. Long story short the speedometer does not work.

The front brake pads and rear shoes have been replaced. The front wheel bearings and tie rod assemblies have been replaced, and the rear wheel bearings have been cleaned and serviced as well. The tires are pretty good. Might need balancing.

The truck has factory A/C and it works. Sort of. I pulled a vacuum on it, then serviced it with R134A refrigerant, and ran it for a while and it gets cold. High side pressure was and 275-300 psi, and low side was around 30 psi. I then removed the refrigerant to replace the receiver drier and never got around to it. I will throw in the new drier with the sale and gas the refrigerant back up for the winning bidder if that person wants.

Over all this is a pretty nice little truck for it's age. I have owned several of these and currently have one that I drive which is a turbo diesel. This one is the only automatic I have ever seen, and we use to work on a lot of them. 

Please ask any additional questions you may have prior to bidding. The winning bidder is responsible for pick up and I will help load either for the winning bidder or any shipper the winning bidder hires to pick it up. Will not ship. Local pick up is fine. I wouldn't be afraid to drive just about anywhere.

 

This truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction early bids or not.

Well, Thanks for looking, and good luck.

A VW will help you keep control of your terrible children, apparently

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Not all kids are angels, and in fact some of them can be destructive little monsters at the worst of times. Parents know it, too. Volkswagen is playing on adults' fear of being publicly embarrassed by their progeny in an extremely clever ad, touting the long-distance driving range of the Passat TDI. Titled Mom, the spot is certainly one of the more creative sales pitches ever devised for a vehicle's fuel economy. The ad allows three little boys to go absolutely wild in a convenience store as a horrified cashier watches. Although, the commercial certainly raises the question: what mom would actually let her kids run around unattended while pumping gas?

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
