KONI Updates Shocks for Passat

At the request of the VW tuner and enthusiast community, KONI has tested and approved the KONI Sport and KONI FSD struts and shocks for the USA built 2012-2016 Volkswagen Passat known as the NMS (New Midsize Sedan) chassis. The adjustable KONI Sport part numbers 8741 1488SPORT and 8040 1352SPORT as well as the patented ride control technology of KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) part number 2100 4026 can officially be used on both US and European built Passats for improved handling performance, ride quality, and tuning adjustability. These KONI dampers are available and shipping to dealers and consumers in North America now and carry the standard KONI limited lifetime warranty.

SPORT KONl Sport struts and shocks are the industry leader in externally adjustable damping, establishing the ultimate user control. By easily adjusting between a soft comfortable ride setting to a more firm aggressive ride, KONI Sport transforms the “daily driver” into the weekend track machine without hassle. With its very broad range of adjustability, KONI SPORT is a great choice to upgrade a stock, original equipment (OE) suspension or when matched with lowering springs and other performance upgrades for better handling and a more aggressive look and road feel. KONI Sport carries a limited lifetime warranty as with most KONI products.
FSD KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) patented technology is the first premium no-compromise shock absorber in the world. FSD offers superior performance handling when installed on a original equipment (OE) suspension or when matched with other performance upgrades without degrading ride quality for cars and light trucks, SUVs, motor homes, and service vehicles while improving grip and safety in daily driving. KONI FSD automatically adjusts to road conditions as well as driving style, all within a fraction of a second guaranteeing greater stability, control and driving pleasure.  KONI FSD carries a lifetime warranty as with most KONI products.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
