| Vanagon Carrat 1.9 PD TDi Diesel | ||
| I have for sale my 1990 Vanagon Carrat automatic. It has a Eurospec 1.9PD TDi engine conversion with intercooler.( This is the only automatic kit done with a PD as far as I know) It's registered as a diesel in California ( so no worries with smog) I put about 20K miles on the engine when the actuator on the turbo failed, which unfortunately also did minor damage to the engine.( engine block was not damaged ) The engine was completely rebuild with new pistons and rods and new turbo. The cam was also replaced and so too the lifters with the new DLC ones.( This was just a upgrade ) The engine currently has about 3K since the rebuild. The transmission has about 20K on it(new when installed with the engine) I started with a NOS trans, and replaced the guts with that of the Audi Turbo. The difference is the turbo trans has 4 planetary gear vs 3 on the Vanagon trans. I also used the clutch packs from the turbo trans which if recall correct has 2 extra discs per gear set. I installed the lower "rare" ring and pinion to bring the RPM down. The torque converter was also re-done by Oregon Torque Converters as they had to change the stall speed as it was slipping at high RPM (150HP Chip) It has the 280mm big brakes and also the bigger SA rear drums and shoes. The wheels are 16" Overland Parts alloy wheels with 215/70-16 Grabber UHP tires(50%) Front Bull Bar. SA round lights and grill kit with H4 HID lights. Has a rare OE VW CD player radio (Looks just like the original radio but with cd player) AC is cold and has the newer R134 compressor. The chassis has 213K miles and it gets about 22mpg in town and 26-28mpg freeway. The body and interior is 7/10. I can send more pics per request. This vehicle is sold "AS IS" No warranty said or implied. There are also some spare parts that go with the Van that I have collected along the way. |

Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
