Clean on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
Mk. V GTI for sale, I am the fifth owner. I love the car but It’s time for something newer.
This is a great used car in good condition. The ride is comfortable with a quality interior, one of the best at this price point. The steering, acceleration, and just general driving characteristics are all fantastic. What's even better is how much capability you get along with it. Despite being a two-door the back seats are still spacious and not too difficult to get into. You get a good amount of cargo space as well, even more with the backseats folded down, I was able to fit my mountain bike in it. Fuel economy is pretty great for a turbocharged engine as well, I usually get around 25-27mpg.
Mods: Nothing major, just an aftermarket intake and stereo head unit with Bluetooth.
I've had a lot of recent maintenance done:
Brand new tires, they're barely a month old
Fixed a vacuum leak and replaced the oil dipstick
Replaced the brake booster and brake booster hoses
Replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor
Replaced the oil separator pres. regulating valve
Replaced the crankcase vent valve gasket
Replaced the breather hose
The car is in good condition, especially for how many miles it's driven, however, there are a few (mostly cosmetic) issues with it:
Sunspots on the exterior
Scraped a curb while parking once and the front splitter came loose a little
The passenger seat adjuster is broken off, though luckily the seat is stuck in a good position so legroom for both the front seat and rear-seat passengers is still good.
Front left parking light is out (which causes a warning light). This light would only be on while the vehicle is stationary.
Mechanical:
The only mechanical issue I know of is that the engine thermostat needs to be replaced (this is causing the check engine light to be on). I have the part and was planning on doing it myself but it is a tedious repair and I simply don't have the time. The repair is doable yourself but it might be easiest to just take the part to a shop and have them do it.
VIN: WVWFV71K07W256666

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
