2002 Volkswagen Golf Gls Tdi 5 Speed Manual Sunroof 50+ Mpg No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Niantic, Connecticut, United States
|
2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI This has the high demand 5 speed Manual Transmission Clutch is fine, no issues. 1.9 Liter Turbo charged ALH engine Timing belt and water pump, tensioner was done around 75,000 miles. It had the 100,000 mile belt installed Turbo works excellent. The glow plug system works fine. I installed a larger battery to assure it starts up on the coldest of winter mornings. Power windows all work fine, as well as the power sunroof, gas door and rear hatch release. The brakes feel good. The front brake pads have about 60% left. Rear brake pads have about %40 left. Shocks are great up front. The rear are still good but I would replace them when you do the brake pads, they were replaced maybe 5 years ago. The rest of the suspension is good. Steering feels great and responsive. Tires were just rotated. Two tires are about %80, Two tires I would replace soon. They are worn at one side because the car needed an alignment, which was done last year. It is due for an oil change next month. The fuel filter was replaced in November. The car needs a small hose from the PCV valve on the top of the valve cover gasket to the intake tube (can be clearly seen on the engine picture). The car had another key/cluster programmed something with the security system would not let the car start with the key. The body is very good for its 12 year old age and northern environment. The pictures should depict so. If you have any questions please let me know. This car is very reliable. I would replace the tires before taking it on a cross country journey. Despite the tires, the car drives excellent on the highway. The cruise control works The AM/FM works. I never used the CD or TAPE player. No reason for me to think it would not work. The glove box latch is NOT broken Head lights, turn signals, brake lights are good. This car reliably will get me 50-55 MPG with reasonable highway driving If you do not know much about the TDIs you *WANT* to buy a PRE-2004 TDI (2003 and down). WHY? the 2004+ ALH motors have a newer, more problematic pumpe-duse fuel injection system. The camshaft (upper engine) also fails prematurely on the 2004+. The 99-03 model Jetta, Golf, Passat, Beetle TDI are the ones to look for and buy. The car is located in Niantic, CT (near New london, New haven - southern CT) though I commute to Providince, RI so I can meet you anywhere in that general area if that helps. The TF Greene airport in Providence is pretty close (PVD). The Amtrak train also is very close (New London). TERMS OF SALE: Winning bidder must contact me within 12 hours after close of auction.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
