Ok here we go. Please read the entire ad before you bid. You are looking at a 02 VW GTi. It has the 1.8 turbo engine and a manual 5 speed tranny. The engine has had quite a few mods and it is very fast and very fun to drive. The body is great and paint is a 8 out of 10. The interior is typical vw. The seats are good and I have replaced the door cards with R32 leather cards. The power windows work well as well as the door locks. Now for the good stuff...


The engine is a 1.8t with a K04 turbo upgrade that is less than 6mos on new turbo. The car had some tuning on it when I purchased it and I was told that APR did the tuning. It has a eurojet intercooler and forge diverter valve and hoses. AEM cold air intake. Gates racing timing belt and all upgraded tensioners and water pump. It has ECS power pullies and complete magna flow exhaust (yep its loud) It has all new vac lines and everything was pressure tested at the time of new turbo install. Right now the boost is still controlled by the computer and its around 18psi. I have a grimm speed manual waste gate control that needs to be installed and will come with the car. It also has an HKS turbo timer and boost gauges installed. The suspension is a complete H&R upgrade and it has neuspeed rear torsion bar. Its running a set of MOMO wheels. Im sure I have forgotten something but you get the idea. Its fast, not top fuel dragster fast but it will haul ass. 

Now for the bad. It has a crack in the windshield not bad but its there. Im getting a random code for the o2 sensor it comes and goes. Im sure it needs a new one. The AC doesnt work. The compressor has a broken shaft this is caused by spooling it up hard while the compressor is under load. I have a used compressor that is not installed that will also go with the car. It needs tires. The steel belts are not showing but it will need tires soon.  

It runs and drives great and its a real sleeper. Most folks think it has a cheap muffler installed (because its loud) and they find it hard to keep up. The timing belt, water pump, tensioner, turbo, coil packs, plugs are all less than 6mos old. The car isnt perfect but a really good fun car to have. I hate to sell it because I have an ass of money in it and Ill never get it back. I needed a truck and something has to go. I really like these cars. I actually own another one that I drive every day that is stock. There good cars. Please feel free to ask any and all questions before you bid. Do not bid with unanswered questions. If you have 0 feedback email me before you bid or it will be cancelled. Sorry but relisting items due to non paying bidders gets old quick. I have no problem picking you up at the airport. I can help you load it or assist with shipping. But the shipping cost is up to the buyer. I can deliver within reason for a fee.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
