1999 Volkswagen Passat Gls Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
|
READ CAREFULLY! This is a 99 Passat 1.8l that needs a transmission! I bought this car as a quick project to get a car together for a family member but, they no longer need a car and I don't have time for the car. The car does drive, although if you purchase this car it will need to be towed to your location. Someone put the wrong transmission fluid in the car and it has burnt up the transmission pump. I have driven the car just to check that it goes through all the gears but I do not know the extent of the internal damage to the transmission by putting in the incorrect fluid. When I got the car, first thing I did was replace the fluid with the VW trans fluid. I didn't drop the pan but there was not any metal that was in the fluid. I set the fluid level and that is when I drove the car to check. It seems to shift fine however, the transmission pump screams when the car is started and when going down the road. As you can see in the picture, this is not a pristine car, the drivers seat bolster is ripped and was repaired with duct tape, the arm rest in the center consol is worn down as well as the door panels. I would say its pretty standard wear and tear for a car with 173k. Under the car is fairly clean, only leaks are from the transmission, engine seems pretty clean. Tires are all in good shape, fronts are about half worn and rears are fairly new. 4-5 32nds in the front 7-8 32nds in the rear. Let me know if you have any questions. This is a good opportunity to get a good car cheap! |

Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
