50 Mpg Wvo Diesel Grease Car on 2040-cars
Swampscott, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a 1984 VW Rabbit Diesel that was converted to run on waste vegetable oil or diesel. It runs and drives great except that there is a problem in reverse. It probably needs a new reverse (idler) gear. I would just find a used tranny (4A tranny code) on CL or Ebay for $50-100 and swap them out since this will be less work and probably be cheaper unless you own tools to tear down a tranny. This car has had the following done in the recent past: new battery, alternator, head gasket, shift linkage, 2 new front axles with innner and outer CV joints, brakes, tires and some other work. It starts right up even after sitting for several weeks and drives great except in reverse. I was going to fix the body up a little and use it as a commuter car but am starting a business and really dont have the time (it's 5th in line of my project cars).
It needs: tranny fixed, someone gave it a crappy paint job so you might want to MAACO it, various rust spots creeping through (mostly superficial, rockers are good, strut towers good, floors good except for one small hole), hand brake does not work (grabs but the handle doesn't lock up), one outside door handle needs adjustment, I would flush the WVO system before using it. I'm not sure how long the WVO has been in there. I can probably get you 20-30 gallons of very clean WVO too. The odometer says 54000 but it does not appear to work so the true mileage is unknown. Clean MA title says 999,999 miles (that's what they give you if the odo is incorrect) |

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
