Up for auction is a rare MKII Volkswagen Jetta ECODiesel. Distinguished by its 1.6l turbo diesel engine and catalytic converter, the ecoDIESEL can deliver over 50mpg with its 5 speed manual transmission, making it a real economical daily driver. Includes a K&N cone air filter for a few extra horsepower and MPG. This particular car was rescued last fall with hopes of making it my daily driver. Drove fine with no issues on the 40 mile drive home, but has not been driven since. It was driven home, the diesel injection pump removed and resealed due to a leak, and I have been unable to start since. I replaced the timing belt and tensioner roller as preventative maintenance while the pump was removed. I am not a Volkswagen enthusiast nor a diesel mechanic, and this car needs someone who is a bit of both.
Partial records including:
03/01/13 New timing belt and roller
11/01/12 New floor mats
11/01/12 New expansion tank and cap
11/01/12 New front grille
02/08/10 New alternator
08/27/07 New glow plugs (4)
05/13/07 New rear drums and shoes
05/11/07 New battery
05/11/07 New front rotors and pads
05/08/07 New starter
07/01/05 New power steering reservoir
One service record indicates a mileage of 207867 in July of 2001, meaning only 28,000 miles in the last 12 years.
Pros:
Very rare model, one of 1 of 42 ecoDIESELs imported for the 92 model year
Beautiful interior, comfortable seats
Like new tires and brakes
Good suspension
Good clutch
Solid strut towers
Original keys (2)
Cons:
Currently not running, needs injection pump repair or replacement
Cracked windshield
Radio needs code
Some rust, not as much as most MKIIs. Not bad.
Missing front VW emblem
Passenger rear window needs regulator

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
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.
