50 Mpg Wvo Diesel Grease Car on 2040-cars
Swampscott, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a 1984 VW Rabbit Diesel that was converted to run on waste vegetable oil or diesel. It runs and drives great except that there is a problem in reverse. It probably needs a new reverse (idler) gear. I would just find a used tranny (4A tranny code) on CL or Ebay for $50-100 and swap them out since this will be less work and probably be cheaper unless you own tools to tear down a tranny. This car has had the following done in the recent past: new battery, alternator, head gasket, shift linkage, 2 new front axles with innner and outer CV joints, brakes, tires and some other work. It starts right up even after sitting for several weeks and drives great except in reverse. I was going to fix the body up a little and use it as a commuter car but am starting a business and really dont have the time (it's 5th in line of my project cars).
It needs: tranny fixed, someone gave it a crappy paint job so you might want to MAACO it, various rust spots creeping through (mostly superficial, rockers are good, strut towers good, floors good except for one small hole), hand brake does not work (grabs but the handle doesn't lock up), one outside door handle needs adjustment, I would flush the WVO system before using it. I'm not sure how long the WVO has been in there. I can probably get you 20-30 gallons of very clean WVO too. The odometer says 54000 but it does not appear to work so the true mileage is unknown. Clean MA title says 999,999 miles (that's what they give you if the odo is incorrect) |

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
