I have decided to sell my Passat. I bought this car in 2010 as a temporary car to get me back and forth to work because I worked 50 miles away from home. I ended up loving my Passat and ended up keeping it, I just bought a 2013 Passat TDi and no longer need two diesels.
If you are unfamiliar with the VW TDi, it is a near bulletproof diesel engine known to go 500,000 to 750,000 miles with little effort.
I take excellent care of my cars and this one is no exception. It drives and shifts like a brand new car. I would estimate 90% of the fuel I have run has been BP which I think is the most premium fuel around here, and every tank has had stanadyne fuel additive added to it. Every oil change has been done at 5k miles with Rotella T6 and either a WIX or NAPA Gold filter. The interior is in very nice shape except for one stain on the carpet (orange soda). The exterior is also in very nice shape, clear is peeling over the right mirror and the right fender molding is missing.
A little overview of its recent service.
At 165k
Tires, Inner tie rods, right CV axle, and all 4 struts were replaced
At 189k
Timing belt and water pump was replaced (all parts from boraparts.com), Injection pump was rebuilt (for those of you in the TDi world Alex with VeeDUB auto repair rebuild it and preformed the hammer mod)
At 193k
Both front wheel bearings, both front ball joints, both outer tie rod ends, both strut bearing, and left CV axle were all replaced
The bad:
Car has a rebuilt title
Small oil leak: I believe it is the rear main seal. I never had it fixed because it only leaks about 1 quart over 5k miles

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.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
