I have a 1992 Jetta for sale. I have driven this car for the last seven years and put on 120,000. Recently it started to get oil in the coolant which is a sign that the head gasket is leaking so I decided to replace the head gasket. While removing the head bolts, two of them snapped. I got the head off but the bolts are still in the block and will have to be drilled out. Because I drive this to work every day, 80 miles round trip, I kept it maintained fairly well. It has good tires, the glow plugs were replaced in 2012 for last winter, the front and rear struts were replaced, the right side inner and outer tie rods, the left side outer tie rod, both lower ball joints, and the front end aligned within the last 20,000 miles. It tracks straight. The exhaust system is new from the header pipe to the tailpipe. The new header pipe does not have a catalytic converter in it. Most of the mileage I put on this car is on I-95 going to the airport. The injector pump was replaced 2 years ago. Within the last 10K miles I replaced the 4 injectors and the fuel tubes from the injector pump to the injectors.(all new, nothing used or rebuilt) Since the head is off you can view the valves and top of the pistons to see that there is no damage. The car has over 300K miles and although it ran good when I started this, I considered popping out the pistons and re ringing them. Half the work is done and it would zero time the engine. If you are not familiar with the Eco turbo diesels, as I was not when I bought this car, in 1992 there were only 52 of them made and of those only 47 were sold before they switched the line over to start making the newer MK3's. In 1992 when the last one came off the line they were already rarer that a '57 T-Bird.

Check out the history of the 1991 and 1992 Eco Turbo Diesels at http://www.oocities.org/vwecodiesel/overview.htm

There are engine blocks on ebay for $250 for anyone that has the energy to re ring the pistons, you could have a zero time short block.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

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.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
