This van is currently not in a operational state. It is being stored at my mechanics shop in Mission Viejo, California. When we found the cost of repairs to be great, we chose to look for a new vehicle. The top end of the engine is partially disassembled, camshaft is out. My mechanic found that sludge build up is fairly great. With what work he recommended the cost just pushed us towards looking for something newer. 


I you are a good mechanic, and know Volkswagon products, this would be an awesome project car. My mechanic suggests replacing the timing sensors, however he said there is a chance they are still good once the engine is thoroughly cleaned out. If it were me, and I had the time, I would remove the engine, disassemble, thoroughly clean and replace any warn parts, and you should be good to go. 

The engine was running well, but slowly started to decline, which was the timing sensors not being able to read correctly due to the sludge build up.

This engine did have it's timing chain replaced a couple years back, a known Eurovan Issue. 

The alternator was replaced VERY recently, probably less than 500 miles on it.

I'm told there is a minor water leak at the thermostat housing (I think that's the location) but is an easy fix when rebuilding.

No other known engine issues.

Original transmission.

The body is in OK condition, maybe a 6 on a 10 scale. It has never been in an accident, never severally damaged, however there is a lot of wear and tear. Many scratches in and around the sliding door area due to servicing my daughter's wheelchair ramp.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
