Here we have a 1986 VW Jetta GL Wolfsburg. It is equipped with the HO turbo diesel NOT the Eco diesel. 5 speed trans. Lets talk about the bad first and get that out of the way. It has the typical VW rust as you can see in all the photo's I have provided. The drivers rear door handle is missing as you can see in the photos and the bottom of the same door is rusty but that's probably the worst part of the car in my opinion. I was always just going to get a used rear door and replace it. It also has some rust around the windshield as you can see. But overall its a nice looking little car for the year. The radio has been missing from the day I got the car, no biggie to me I don't listen to a radio while driving anyway. Good for you because you can install any one you would like, the plug is there. The right rear door opens when it feels like it, I know, kind of weird but it does. The tach does the "wild boogie" dace occasionally since the new alternator was installed, the tach works off the alternator for you that don't know. The AC did work this summer but must have a small leak because the compressor wont turn on now. Now on a happier note. The Wolfsburg for you that don't know was made in Germany, and GL is the top of the line model with the extra trim package, AC and power steering along with the HO turbo diesel engine mated with the high ratio 5-speed transmission for the diesel powered GL models. Injection pump rebuilt this summer, along with a new timing belt. New battery last year 4 new tires New alternator New struts I have always used AMSOIL synthetic oils in the car, engine and trans. I am religious about oil changes, every 5000. The car runs and drives like a top, it drives like its on rails ! She starts right up on the coldest of days no problem. The HO turbo diesel is a peppy little rascal, it gets great fuel mileage, I average 50-55 MPG. When I bought this car the gentleman told me that the engine had been replaced with a long block from VW, at that time he said it had about 60,000 miles on it so my best guess would be that it has around 90- 100,000 miles on it now. This car is in no way perfect nor am I claiming it is, but it is a great little car and has always been super reliable to me and with the proper care and maintenance it will continue to be for years to come Im sure. This car is my daily driver and I love it ! But we are going to buy a brand new Jetta TDI wagon, I also have a Rabbit diesel Im selling as well. My wife made a good point a few weeks back and I had to agree with her, we are paying 2X plates and insurance and Im only driving one car at a time, we also travel back home to Wisconsin from Michigan on a regular basis so I guess a new car is in order. The mileage will go up on the car until we get our new Jetta Wagon, as I said earlier It is my daily driver. I have provided LOTS of photos so be sure to take a good look at all of them. I am offering the little Jetta with NO warranties expressed nor impelled and you are buying it as-is. Im sure you can understand with any used vehicle I can not make any guaranties of any kind nor will I. I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. If you are bidder with less than a 50 feedback ratings you must contact me prior to placing a bid, if not I will cancel it. The car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if its not than I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it, and thusly you will not receive your deposit back. As the old saying goes "It only takes one bad apple" and I have had the misfortune of meeting a few. So with all that said good luck and happy bidding ! |

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
