1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel 4-door Hatch Mk1 Vw 5-speed on 2040-cars

You're looking at a 81 Volkswagen Rabbit 4-door hatchback. The car has a clean title and is in great condition- I'd drive this thing anywhere. Extensive work has gone into the car making it reliable I was planning to have the car repainted, but now that looks like it'll be your responsibility- should you decide to purchase this great little car. I hate to see it go! The previous owner hadn't had the car very long, but he told me that the car was originally owned by a Stanford professor, who commuted in it for a long time. I was surprised by the 750,000 miles on the odometer, but he told me that the gauge cluster had been replaced at some point, and that wasn't the original mileage. Judging from the condition of the car, this seems like a reasonable claim. The car starts easily, runs smoothly and is incredibly reliable. In the ~8,000 miles that I've put on it, it's delivered an average 45 mpg, with a high of 52. Here's a quick rundown of the cars details. Engine/Transmission -1.6L Diesel. According to the vehicle records, a rebuilt cylinder head was installed about 12,000 miles ago. -Four new motor mounts. Mounts were powder-coated black. -Recent oil/filter change- synthetic oil used. -Recent transaxle oil change. -Recent fuel filter change. -Recent valve adjustment -New timing belt, timing belt idler. -Powder-coated (black) the timing belt cover. -New water pump/gasket/o-rings. -New radiator hoses. -Cooling system flushed and refilled. -A/C delete with custom alternator bracket and tensioner, powder-coated black. -New alternator belt -Fairly new alternator -Two new axles/CV joints. -Completely rebuilt shifter assembly. All new bushings. Upgrade to a delrin bushing on the main shift rod. -New electric fan switch. -New valve cover gasket. Body -The paint is peeling on one side in particular, but there is no significant rust. -The body is straight, but has a few dings here and there. -New locking gas cap. -New Bosch wiper blades. Interior -Aftermarket mechanical (more accurate) temperature gauge. -New Sony 60wx4 receiver -New Retrosound front speakers -New Infinity rear speakers. -New package tray straps. -GTI steering wheel with new OEM GTI steering wheel center. -Headliner, seats and carpet are in excellent condition. People frequently compliment how good it looks inside. -With the AC delete, the evaporator core and all lines were removed. -As nice as the interior is, the dashboard is in sorry shape. The carpet over the dash covers as many cracks as a dry lake bed. Also, the previous owners have attached the face of the dash with non-factory screws. -Hand brake assembly powder-coated satin black. Suspension -New strut cartridges. -New strut bearings/mounts. -New front wheel bearings, with new circlips. -New rear wheel bearing (1) and grease seals. Repacked bearings with sythetic grease. -New ball joints. -All new control arm bushings. -Recent alignment with 1-year warranty at Wheel Works. -Powder-coated black strut housings. -Powder-coated black control arms. -Powder-coated black the steering knuckles (while the bearings were out). -Powder-coated black the clamps for the rear control arm bushings. -German-made Borrett 14" alloy rims -Only about 10,000 miles on tires. ~80% tread left. Brakes -Powder-coated disc brake splash shields -Fairly fresh front pads. -Rear shoes are at 75% -4 new anti-rattle clips installed. -Two new parking brake cables installed. I had planned on doing it anyway, but if you'd like the car converted to run biodiesel I can take care of that for a few hundred more. Conversion includes new viton fuel lines, secondary fuel filter addition and a couple extra fuel filters. That's about it, but I've probably left some things out. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Volkswagen Tiguan arrives with chiseled looks, GTE plug-in model [w/video]
Tue, Sep 15 2015After a long run, Volkswagen has finally retired the first-generation Tiguan crossover in favor of the larger, more chiseled second-generation model. The new compact is longer, wider, and lower than the more upright CUV that came before it. Yet, as we covered in our original post, the new Tig is also over 100 pounds lighter. The bodywork is conservative but handsome; typical of newer VWs. We see plenty of Passat and Touareg in the fascia, which features a three-bar grille that integrates neatly with the slightly canted, rectangular headlights. The beltline looks higher than today's Tiguan, and sits below a more aggressive greenhouse, which is a welcomed change after the soft, crossovery looks of the last-gen model. While VW has only released European powertrain options – there are eight engine options, split evenly between gas and diesel and boasting anywhere from 123 to 237 horsepower – we'll expect a far smaller roster for the US. Look for VW's familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder to feature prominently in both front- and all-wheel-drive models, while we're personally hoping VW will see the light and offer a 2.0-liter TDI Tiguan. Of course, there's more than just gas and diesel for the new Tiggy. The all-new GTE model promises plug-in capability. Expect 31 miles of electric range and 215 system horsepower. There are even solar panels on the roof which could generate up to an extra 600 miles per year of driving range. VOLKSWAGEN REVEALS ALL-NEW EUROPEAN TIGUAN AT THE FRANKFURT INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW Based off the MQB platform, the new European Tiguan revolutionizes the compact SUV • Powerful, authentic SUV design of the new Tiguan was completely reconfigured. • Tiguan is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). • Longer, wider, lower – new vehicle architecture enables sportier proportions • Tiguan makes its debut at the IAA in an R-Line version, a classic on-road version and a version with an off-road front end. • Volkswagen is also showing the Tiguan GTE in Frankfurt with a plug-in hybrid drive and 1.9 litre per 100 km fuel consumption. • Newly conceptualised solar roof module for the Tiguan GTE increases its electric driving range. • Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, active hood, Lane Assist and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System are fitted as standard.

VW announces reworked 6.0 W12 TSI engine
Mon, May 11 2015Nobody makes more engines with a dozen cylinders than the Volkswagen Group. They're W12s, of course, owing to the novel shape of their cylinder banks. Now the German industrial giant has announced a comprehensively reworked version of that engine at the same Vienna Motor Symposium where it presented its new 2.0-liter turbo four. The new W12 retains the same arrangement and the same 6.0-liter displacement, but updates it all with the latest powertrain tech. In place of Audi's FSI direct injection and Bentley's TMPI multi-point injection, the engine has adopted a new TSI system. It's also got a pair of new twin-scroll turbochargers, APS-coated cylinders, a new cooling system, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation, and a stop/start system. And – crucially for application in the upcoming Bentayga – it has an oil circuit designed for off-road use. The revised package now produces 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Considerably more than the 567 hp and 516 lb-ft offered in the Bentley Continental GT W12, but less than the GT Speed, which we suspect will get an even more powerful version of this new engine. It's also more powerful than even the top version of Audi and Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, to make the W12 a more compelling option. Of course that's just as far as the Continental GT is concerned. The W12 has also found use in the Continental GTC and Flying Spur, as well as the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8, and could find further applications under the Flying B emblem and elsewhere in the future. VW says that in the right application (say, in the production version of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, for example), the new twelve-pot could deliver 0-62 times of under four seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour. Volkswagen at the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser: "The car of the future will continue to fascinate people" - CO2 reduction, electromobility and digitalisation are the greatest challenges facing the automotive industry - The future of the internal combustion engine will be characterised by high rpm diesel and high-performance three-cylinder TSI engines - Laser roughening – innovative coating process in large-scale production - New 6.0 W12 TSI with 447 kW (608 PS) – performance and refinement - New generation of EU6 TDI engines for light-duty vehicles Dr.
