 PLEASE READ ALL! This is a 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI Wagon. Loaded with wood trim, leather, heated seats, sunroof. The car has new tires, and a new battery. There is a problem with the transmission. I do not know if it can be fixed, or will require replacement all together. It will drive in forward and reverse (I drove it home about 10 miles) and from what I am told it goes into "limp mode" after about a minute or so. Basically it shifts hard. Please dont ask me 1000 questions about this, this is all I know! Assume that it needs a new transmission. I purchased this car under the promise that a friend would repair it for me. He has proved unreliable, and I am tired of waiting. I purchased a new timing belt/ water pump/ idler kit for it as I was going to have my friend do this as well to be safe. This will be included with the car. It starts and runs well, and has 155k. I tried to show in the pics, there are a few dings, and the seats show a little wear. A very nice looking car, but with regular "family use" wear. It doesn't appear to have any major leaks or other obvious problems. The fuel door has a tab broken off, so it doesn't pop open when you hit the button, you have to open it by hand. This is what I know about the car...I do not know if this or that has been replaced. It is clear that it has not been abused, and is a nice looking car. You are encouraged to come take a look. Located in Stratford, CT. Must be picked up within a week of the end of auction. $1000 deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end, or it will be relisted. I recommend that it be towed/ trailered. I did drive the car home, by I cannot speak for it's long distance reliability. I can transport the car up to 100 miles for a fee, but this must be arranged and discussed prior to auction end. Sold 100% as is, and it is described as accurately as possible. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013


The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
