Scirocco is in the snow
The VW Scirocco, the work of the dedicated team from Sweden, has a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit tricked out to produce 627 PS (461 kW / 618 bhp) to power the adapted all-wheel drive system.The rest of the information we can just assume. Inside the engine bay there is that bowling ball sized turbo and also the longitudinally-mounted engine. We can't tell for sure if this AWD Scirocco is using an adaptation of Audi's own quattro all-wheel drive system or the Haldex system usually found in VWs with transversely mounted engines. Including the Scirocco R, the original VW Scirocco is a FWD-only model.What it's crystal clear ...

The National Highway Safety Administration has recently announced that Volkswagen is going to recall 12,612 Routan minivans because of an ignition fault. It appears to be the same issue that concerned Chrysler's Dodge Grand Caravan and Journey. The engine faces the danger of being shut off as the ignition is likely to inadvertently switch between "run" and "accessory" and thus increasing the risk of a crash. It is till not clear whether any injuries were the result of this defect. According to NHTSA press release, the German car company will replace the ignition modules free of charge. The car models affected by the recall, which ...

NHTSA investigates problems with the 2001 - 2007 VW Passat
Lately, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a new investigation regarding the 2001 - 2007 Passat models and while this is one of the most appreciated products that group VW has on the American market; it seems that the Passat has its own issues when it comes to safety.

VW to recall and replace 2010 Beetle with older bugs
Do you remember the new Beetle, that sweet reminder of the 60s? Of course you do, you may even own one of these flower power cars.

Still, the solution found by the HTSA was rather funny: group VW has to replace about 27 Beetles with older versions manufactured before September 2010.Yes, that's ...
