I am selling my 1982 VW Jetta that has a 1986 1.6L NA diesel motor and 5 speed manual transmission. I bought this car a few years back and never got it fully running. When I bought it the head was off because of a blown head gasket. Long story short, I ended up replacing it with a new remanufactured OEM German made head and head gasket. Now, it appears that it needs a new injection pump. It will run, but the engine races and should not be driven. I bought the car for a few reasons. First, these cars are known for getting excellent mileage, my 1990 Jetta, which has the same motor, gets around 40 mpg and some get even higher. The 1982 body style is lighter and a bit smaller than the 1990, so it stands to reason this car should do well. Second, the car has many new/like new parts. The alternator, water pump, injectors, glow plugs, glow plug relays, radiator, various coolant hoses, front and rear brakes and tires have all been replaced in the past few years. When the head was put on it also got a new timing belt and timing belt tensioner. The motor was rebuilt around 2009 and has around 30,000 miles on it. The clutch was replaced at time of rebuilt. The clutch and trans feel good, better than my 1990. Third, the body, while not perfect is in decent shape for its age. The car has no major dents or dings, and is nice and true, however, there is some surface rust, but no major rust issues under the body. The sunroof opens and closes nicely and seals well. The drivers side window has fallen into the door panel but is not broken, the glass clips are known for going bad. The other windows are fine, and seal well. The seats are in good shape except for the drivers, which is torn up. The car is not the best looking thing out there, but with a little bit of work, it could be a pretty good car. I have tried to describe it as best as I can, but please ask any questions that you may have. The car is sold as-is, buyer is responsible for shipping. At buyers request, I could deliver the car up to 250 miles for $1.00 per loaded mile. Thanks for looking!

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 using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
