| 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. |

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
