1986 Volkswagen Factory Westfalia Camper Vanagon on 2040-cars
Medford, Oregon, United States
|
We purchased this Vanagon in the year 2002 with 22,000 original miles on it. We have traveled Mexico, beaches of California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, San Juan Islands and Canada--All road miles were trouble free and very enjoyable and memorable. Our age (60's) has required us to step up to a larger motorhome with more creature comforts to continue our extended camping adventures. Tires have less than 12,000 miles and have been rotated properly. Front brakes approximately 70%. Oil has been changed religiously on time with Castrol GTX. We installed a Pioneer AM/FM Super Tuner CD player. Propane tank fill valve updated. Locking gas cap. On 3-31-2013: Air-Conditioner was recharged and serviced, all 3 drive belts replaced with Gates Drive Belts. Along with these receipts a vehicle inspection sheet was complete at the same time and will be provided along with the factory sticker invoice and original dealer Buyer's Invoice, original Volkswagen Owners Manual, original Factory Camper Owners manual, original Volkswagen Gasoline Engine Maintenance Manual, the 1986 USA models Volkswagen Warranty, Dometic Refrigerator Model RM 182B Van Fridge manual, Range Counter Unit Type 113.1 manual, Dometic Factory Authorized Service Centers for Refrigerators, Generators and Air Conditioners and limited warranty. We have all the receipts from prior owner for parts and repairs, plus we have all the receipts for parts and maintenance that we have done. For all practical purposes, this camper has been trouble free and a joy to travel in and we hope the new owner will have as much enjoyment we have had over the last 12 years. The Vanagen was purchased in 2002 with 22,000 original miles. At 40,000 miles the speedometer began to act up. We had Ray's Speedometer in Grants Pass repair it. it went another 28,000 miles putting it at 68,000 miles. At that time the speedmeter began acting up again, so we purchased a new speedometer from Go Westy in Los Osos, California (which is the best source for Volkswagen parts on the west Coast). We will include a 2006 Go Westy Catalog. |

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
