Up for auction is a 1982 VW Diesel Pickup. This is a project that I started three years ago. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2011 and the cancer is getting worse. The doctors haven't given me much more time to live, so it's time for me to sell my baby. I am a certified VW technician that actually worked on the trucks at the VW dealership back when they were selling these trucks. Listed below are the things that I have replace: The truck's floor boards were rusted out, so I welded in new metal and fiber glassed over top the top of the complete floor boards. There were several other common rust spots that I repaired. I used POR rust preventative paint in all of the areas that the rust was repaired. You can Google POR to acquire more information. New deflector headlights were installed along with HID kits. The engine was replaced with a later model engine with less that 90,000 miles. I have a friend that removed this engine from a later model Jetta many years ago. It was in storage for many years until after two years of bugging him to sell it to me, he finally did sell it to me. Replaced ALL external engine seals in the engine along with the timing belt and drive belts. Installed a remanufactured injection pump. Clutch kit. Installed a new stainless header along with a complete custom 2 1/2" exhaust system. My next project was going to be installing a turbo kit. The new turbo kit goes with the truck. See pictures. Installed an electric vacuum pump from a late model Audi. Everyone that has an early model VW diesel knows that the factory mechanical pumps are awful. All CV Boots. ALL shifter bushings and linkage rods. Front brake pads, caliper bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, transmission external seals, front strut inserts, strut bearing tops. Rear shoes, wheel cylinders, parking brake cable, wheel bearings, shocks. Replaced front windshield and seal, rear window seal, early style GTI steering wheel, custom fitted later model center console and late model seat belts. New custom racing seats, new carpet, new leather shift knob, interior was dyed black, The dash has not been cut up and still uses the old knob style radio. JVC A/M F/M Cassette radio. New speakers. Heater blower motor and resister. Still has the factory R-12 A/C system that works great. Things that the truck still needs: I left the original body trim holes, so I was still looking for the factory body trim that goes from the front fender to the rear finder. Rust has started back on the right rear fender behind the wheel (see pictures). Turbo kit needs to be installed. Comes with a new boost gauge. The electric brake booster pump is currently mounted on the firewall and is a little noisy. It needs to be mounted somewhere else near the front (maybe on the transmission). The trucks runs great and gets compliments from people every tme I drive it. Anyone that is local is welcome to come test drive it. Just contact me mhemrick@triad.rr.com The vehicle is also being sold locally and the seller has the right to end or cancel the auction at any time.

German prosecutors investigating Audi for emissions scandal
Fri, Nov 13 2015After weeks of investigation into Volkswagen by prosecutors in Braunschweig, Germany, attorneys in Ingolstadt will also begin an examination into Audi's potential role in the emissions scandal. They reportedly received multiple criminal complaints that requested an inquiry, including one from Audi, according to Bloomberg. The prosecutors in Ingolstadt want to focus on people within the automaker that are responsible for emissions. However, the investigation is still too early in the process to identify any specific suspects. The German lawyers might also eventually combine their cases, but they remain separate for now. "Braunschweig took those parts that are clearly located at Volkswagen and asked us to keep the elements limited to Audi," a spokesperson for the Ingolstadt attorneys told Bloomberg. Audi has 2.1 million vehicles worldwide with Volkswagen Group's emissions-cheating four-cylinder diesel, including an estimated 13,000-14,000 of them in the US. The Environmental Protection Agency also recently filed a second violation notice against the 3.0-liter TDI V6 that was used in several of the company's models here, and the automaker responded with a stop sale for them. VW Group's carbon-dioxide emissions cheating in Europe also reportedly involves some Audi models. In that case, engineers admitted to artificially improving test results to achieve the cuts that the automaker requested.
