I am selling my 1990 MK2 Diesel Jetta. The engine is not running. I was driving and gradually lost power until the engine stopped. I suspect the head gasket, but I don't have a lot of time to work on cars anymore and bought a new car.
I did a LOT of upgrades to the car and I think the VW community should have a stab at keeping this car on the road.
It has keyless entry, power locks, power windows, Serpentine belt conversion with new alternator, Electronic compass and self-dimming mirror. (If you have ever driven these cars, you know the dimming mirror is a really nice upgrade) The vehicle has a Grease Car conversion. I actually only ran the car on Diesel. I wanted to get into Grease, but never had the time. So since I have had it it has just acted as a second tank. I also put some new Wheels on the car. Aluminum cast wheels. You can see them in the pics.
The interior is blue cloth and had a clarion stereo. I put in a remote located USB connection to the radio, so you also have that capability. The radio has a module you can get for Bluetooth, but I don't have that. But you can upgrade it if you want to.
Here is a video briefly showing the car and it's upgrades. http://youtu.be/OmjrXhNsf6I
I just want the car to go to a good home. The serpentine belt conversion was 600 bucks, the grease car conversion was between 1200 and 2000 the power mirrors, keyless entry, and power mirror was 600 to 1000, so there is a lot going on here.
I am putting this up with no reserve and I will let the auction run. If it goes for a little or a lot, that's up to you. Just remember it turns over, but is not currently running.
Thanks, I look forward to giving this car a new home. Great car for these tight times. I used to drive it 200 miles a day when I taught at MSU. It's a great car.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
