Dual relief case w/ full flow oil system, oil filter, stock oil cooler and 72 plate oil cooler w/ fan. Holds 6 qt of oil. Motor run great, only a couple years sense rebuild. Has built trans geared low for offroading and can be driven on the road. Has 3 x 3 trailing arms in the rear, 10 inches wider in the front w/ frt adjusters, all new ball joints and tie rod ends last year. Fox resvoir shocks all the way around, Polished Centerline wheels, fairly new tires 31 12.50 x 15 in the rear w/ good tires 700/15 in front. Four wheel disc brakes, New master, brake lines etc. Two front wheels are centerlines(now polished) 15x 3.5, 1.5 offset, and the rear are Steaker wheels (polished) 15 x 7 zero offset. New wire loom and fuse box, front and rear seats in great shape. It does need a windshield and a new dimmer HI beam / low beam switch, plus a wiper mtr and whatever else you desirer. The tires in front are NOT the offroad type anymore, they are street style. The others went bad, same size though. ( 700 x 15). This car is very fun to drive, I hate to sell but I have another project I want to work on. I have done all the work on this myself except for the wiring, I have replaced just about everything on it, I did all the fab and suspension work. I have worked on Vws most of my life and use good quality stuff and feel confident you wont be disappointed in this car. It could use your personal touch to make it you own. Clean and clear title in hand, buyer responsible for pick up or shipper and shipping cost. for sale locally, may end auction early. Please ask any questions, Thx and good luck John.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
