1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel 4-door Hatch Mk1 Vw 5-speed on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States

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.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
