1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper Pop-up Fuel Injected 1.9l
The good:
Vehicle is in over all great condition. Engine was rebuilt at 136,651 with replacement injectors, heads, thermostat and intake manifold boots. All records and manuals were kept since first owned. Only 30,000 miles on rebuild!
- Clean title in hand, please feel free to see the clean CarFax.
- New GoWesty updated LP tank with the new style regulator. I was going to install a refrigerator delete kit and my energy efficient Engel fridge/freezer MT45 cooler (cost me about $1000) that was installed in my other Vanagon, I just never got around to it. I also purchased the Coleman port-o-potty that sells on GoWesty’s website that slides under the shelf of the delete kit to be used in case of an "emergancy" (no worries, it was not used). All three of these will be included (Engel refrigerator/freezer, the Coleman port-o-potty and the GoWesty fridge delete kit) with the purchase of the Vanagon if the Buy it Now is used. The original operating refriderator is still installed with the original line. Currently it's disconnected using a brass fitting which can be reversed if the new owner wishes to do so.
- New GoWesty skylight.
- Water tank holds fine and works great with the sink.
- Stove is nice and clean and operates fine.
- All lights are operating and vehicle is running strong.
- A dealer installed Behr Air Conditioning unit is installed on the vehicle. I did remove the compressor to use it to check another buddy’s AC operation to confirm that his compressor was the problem…it was. I reinstalled the compressor but did not hook the AC lines and belt backup, I wanted to replace the o-rings before I did. I eventually got the o-rings, but never got around to installing them. I will throw those in with the purchase of the vehicle.
- Captain’s chairs are in good shape and operate freely.
- New battery.
- Tires are in good shape. If the Buy It Now is used I will also throw in (5) 16” Audi A4 aluminum five spoke rims that had the centers professionally machined out to fit the hub center on the Vanagon (cost me about $700).
- Upgraded heavy duty rear hatch struts.
- Original bug screens and shades are included.
- A Thule cargo rack with load bars and AeroCargo container is included. I had it installed on my last Vanagon and just have not installed it on this one (pictures can be sent on request, it currently is not installed). It's great for camping, gives you a secure place to store items out of the way of the site (cost me about $1000).
- The pop-up was replaced with an up-graded three sided screened unit with “zipper” screen windows, which is in excellent condition with no rips or tears.
The not so good:
- The paint is starting to bubble a little bit in the typical Vanagon areas (see photos).
- There is a oil leak coming from the front main seal (if this is corrected the engine would be dry).
- There are various “dings/dents” on the body, the most notable is the on the p/s door (cause by a faulty mirror that was fixed, see photos).
- The heater core switch above the spare wheel is pushed open so heat constantly comes out on your feet (I can switch it back for the person who purchases it). I just liked it because it kept the cabin warm in the winter and the engine cool in the summer. I was going to but a manual switch under the dash like everyone else, I just never got around to it.
- The table behind the driver's side captain's chair is missing.
- The arm rests on the driver's and passenger side doors are missing.
- The small rubber step-up mat on the passenger side is missing.
- The small brown door latch on the water tank access door is broken.
- The curtains could use to be replaced; they are sun bleached pretty bad but operate fine.
This was an original California Vanagon, that went to Colorado and now resides in NJ. It just needs a home that will love it as much as we do. I am moving to the city and parking is very limited and costly. It’s not in my best interest to take this with me, but at the same time I will not give it away. If I have to pay for parking just to keep it, I will. It’s a great vehicle and hate to see it go. I have included MANY high resolution photos for a further visual inspection. Please be advised that I have this vehicle listed locally and there is a possibility that the auction can end early. Cashier's check, money order or cash transaction. $500 dollar deposit upon auction close via Paypal.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
