My 06 jetta tdi only had 120k on it and is at the dealer flat cam dealer wants 3800 for parts and labor but i get a new timming belt COME ON VW WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE FIX IT! I was told by the manager that they used faulty cams in the 05 and 06 tdi's and have a updated cam thanks vw. O by the was if you had a passat tdi the warranty was extended HOW ABOUT THE JETTA'S VW? if you have a problem with this in a 05 or 06 call vw at 1800 822 8987 ask for Ivan tell him mr youngblood sent ya!
i drive a 1999 2.5TDI audi a6 avant, its also kinda economical and has power. but my dad drives a 2006 jetta 1.9TDI, and i fucking want to get that jetta :D mabye next year :D and anyway volkswagen made a great car i dont know how its in USA standarts, but in european standarts the jetta gets with 6.2 liters of diesel to a 100 km in very agressive driving :D
It´s funny that they market the technology as new in order to introduce it into the states. My 130hp Vw tdi is from 98 and my dad´s 195hp volvo tdi from 2000. The gas mileage virtually hasn´t change since. ok mainly because the cars got heavier
The near zero emissions is new and thats why it can be introduced into the states. Plus the States just mandated the ultra low suler diesel fuel in 2007.
its not a performance car in the sense of going fast...but it will out pull any 2.0 gas engine...and it will be better and easier to drive up the rocky mountains
The DSG is also very jerky in this car. The car overall is fantastic, although I recommend the manual transmission and upgrade to the navigation stereo.
60 miles per gallon on fuel that is cheaper than regular gasoline now! Just bought my Reflex silver Sportwagon TDI with black leather interior. Why do I have to go to the Germans to buy a real car? The US companies should be be building this kind of car!
But they don't, because they didn't develop this technology. But GM owns Opel, which buys its engines from Fiat, so technically, GMs' American brands should have acces to these and alse PSA (Peugeot) sold its diesel motor division to Ford last year so, they should be arriving in US in a couple of years.
For those of you looking to buy a VW, I think you need to check out JDPower. They rate every car and car maker on short and long term dependability. The VW is one of the worse automakers on the list! Only Sizuki is worse than VW as for as dependability. Lexus and Toyota dominate the majority of the segment awards, with Toyota receiving five awards-Highlander, Prius, Sequoia, Solara and Tundra-and Lexus receiving four-ES 330 (in a tie with the Acura RL), LS 430, and SC 430.
Please tell me where I can buy this power module =) I'm waiting for our '09 VW SportWagen TDi. I love diesel and its torque, and the travel range on one tank is RIDICULOUSLY long =)
It's good for a diesel, but I agree. I'd rather have a Jetta 2.0T for performance. But if you're looking for reliability and MPG the TDI is superior to the 2.0T and the standard Jetta 2.5L.
yeah it's not that fast 0-60. especially in the manual.. you have to shift a bunch to get there lol.
but in real world driving it's rather nice... Driving on the freeway i just give it a little gas and zoom, it goes. I never have to downshift on hills, and it feels really... idk how to explain it. It feels like it is "supported" like you're not just gliding along, it's strong underneath you, it feels expensive.

It shouldn't be. Only Mexican made DSGs' are known to have issues, but they're now recalling them.

@lumster US would not make enough money with cars that use almost no gas.
