Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro Westfalia Weekender on 2040-cars
South Point, Ohio, United States
|
I have decided to sale my Syncro Westfalia Weekender. This was/is my daily driver but I have recently purchased a new vehicle so I am selling this one now. I've owned it for a few years after acquiring it as a unfinished project from a friend of mine. This was at one time a full westy, it was converted to a weekender and features a full width rear seat that makes a huge bed, a fold up table and one rear facing jump seat. This set up allows for a lot of extra space usually wasted on cabinets etc. I came to learn this most suited my needs as a camper but also as something I could still haul with if I needed to. Its great because you can fit a full sheet of plywood in it! The following work has been done since Ive owned the van. Complete brake rebuild, all new lines, hardware, master cylinder etc. Front brakes have recently been upgraded to Audi big brakes with dual piston calipers and vented rotors. All new fuel lines, and fuel tank straps. New clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. New clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. Has both upper and lower South African front grills, headlight relay upgrade for brighter lights. LED under dash lights, CD player. 16 inch Mercedes CLK Wheels with Hankook ATM tires with approx. 20k miles on them tires still have lots of tread left on them. The front seats are the stock units but seat heaters have been added and are great on cold winter days. The interior is in over all good condition no rips or tears in the seats but they do show some wear. Front floors are Volkswagen hard to find factory rubber floors, the rear floor is marine grade vinyl flooring. The tent is an original unit that has a couple patches but still is in pretty good shape and will last a while before it would really need to be replaced. The motor is an 2.1 that is carbureted the FI was removed when I got the van. The head gaskets, water pump and various seals were replaced before it was installed 2 years ago. Its never left me sitting however I've only driven it locally and it has not been on any long journeys since Ive been driving it. There is no AC in the van at all. Transmission is a stock unit it has a granny gear and a locking rear differential. The locking diff works! The drive shaft was pulled out of the van this past February as it developed a vibration which seems to be a common problem. It will be included with the van, but be aware this is a issue that will need to be addressed if you wish to reinstall it. I have been driving the van since then daily without issue. It will need new rear emergency brake cables and it needs 1 outer CV that I just discovered. Body is in decent condition it has various scratches and dings etc, it has some seam rust showing which you will be able to see in the pictures. Skylight is covered with plexi and does not currently open. If you have other questions lets me know. I'm sure I've missed some details, I will add to the description if I think of anything. Van is sold as is where is with no warranties or guarantees. |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
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.
