1984 Vw Rabbit Diesel Volkswagen on 2040-cars
Rolla, Missouri, United States
|
I bought this car new in 1984 The engine is original and is worn out (lots of blow by). I purchased a used engine from a 1981 diesel with the intention of installing it in this car. both engines and transmissions are included in this auction. the 1981 engine was rebuilt professionally and has less than 1000 mile on the overhaul the car it was in was wrecked and then parked by the owner for about 20 years. before removing the engine from the car i just bumped the starter to be sure it was free and to my astonishment it started and ran fine. after removing it and striping it down to the block i noticed that the freeze plugs where missing? i presure checked it as best i could and found no cracks so i believe that they just rusted out. about 15 years ago and less than 2000 miles I replaced the following. All suspension bushing bearings and struts, all brake hardware hoses and lines including the master cylinder. rack and pinion. rebuilt the injector pump and injectors. has been sitting in my yard for at least 5 years I cannot guarantee that some of these items will not need to be addresses again especially the brakes. I know the rear brakes are locked up due to rust but will probably free up with a little coaxing. The sun roof drains are stopped up and it has had some water intrusion to the interior as a result. the Head liner was replaced but has fallen down again due to the moisture. All of the parts are included you get two complete engines and transmissions. This was my first brand new car and it is hard for me to let it go but there is just not enough time to put it back together as well as I am tired of hearing my wife complain about it sitting in the yard.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
