@jasonmphillips In the uk, many people drive diesel cars, and although you are supposed to wait for the glow plug light to go out on the dash, not many people do.
@jasonmphillips yea you do, read your manual, your "supposed" to wait to start the car until after the yellow squiggly glow plug light extinguishes. Now of course it's not a huge deal where you are but in colder climates you'll see the difference from trying to start the car without waiting for the light to go out meaning your glow plugs are warmed up.
@mite53@epjb226 No, actually you don't. The glowplugs on this model of Jetta and all new Volkswagen TDI's preheat from the second you unlock/open the door. Thus no wait to start the car.
@adamaah they START to preheat when you open the door, doesn't mean they are already warmed by the time you turn your key over, the glow plug light extinguishing is the sign to tell you they are adequately warmed. like i had said, makes no difference in your climate but in colder climates it does, the glow plug light will stay on for several seconds, cause they're not warm enough in a subzero climate, just cause they got a 4 second head start when you opened the door doesnt mean its all it takes
@jasonmphillips actually you do dude, you gotta wait for the little yellow-orange swirly thing to go off before starting! anyway, nice car, but it would have been nicer with a manual. But a beautiful thing in deed!
I have dodge 2500HD with Cummins. Newer technology allows the engine to start without waiting for glow plugs to warm. If the light is on, in very cold weather, then you have to wait for glow plugs before you turn key to start engine. Ha.

wake up buddy, this is Common Rail = direct injection. No glowing. Your ass might glow though when this thing shows you its rear while doing 40 mpg :-)

@aaronpourazar no you dont thats only in the winter. its only in winter because the air is not hot enough to combust with the fuel. so no your wrong read up on the subject before you say stuff you think is right when its not.
@aaronpourazar uhm im sure they were told at the dealership. besides at 40+ mpg and the option to use clean biodiesal for free. i dont think they give a shit!!
not to critize you but i would recommend that once you put the key in the ignition and turn it wait till the squiggly line turns off since its a diesel model...:p cheers i got the 2009 model:D
Man..... I can't wait till I get my GTI..... hAApy for you, very nice ride. I wish VW would have thought more about the NEW JETTA design, it's not that appealing even thou I favor the GTI. I have a 01 GLX VR6 Jetta. I love it! P.s. sweet ride..
how big is the fuel tank? range looked hella low for a full tank... these are great and economical diesel engines tho, except dont try to hit huge mileage with them, i just changed clutch, dual mass flywheel, one pd injector ... the bill is already a 4 digit one and problems still not fixed...
tell me, how do you feel after changing from a passat to a jetta ? lower class ... that sux. you should have gotten a new model passat. anyway, drive safe :D
@vasilacheandrei the Jetta is much nicer than the Passat I was driving. The interior is more refined and has more technologic gizmos and gets much better gas mileage.. I love it.
@vasilacheandrei Donno if you've driven an MKV Jetta, but you can't really say "Jetta" and "low-class" in the same sentence...my '07 Jetta's been mistaken for Mercedes, Audi AND honestly feels to me like a poor man's BMW...and as reliable as you could wish for...however I agree, the new Passat CC is SICCKKKK....
That car is so nice... I bought two. Smart buy man, congratulations! I wonder why Americans can't build such a perfect car like VW does. The Americans should begin hiring German engineers if they really want to compete globally. LMAO! how pathetic!!!!
@adamc260 though FITTING into those tiny cars could prove to be a problem for anyone over 5'5", "hope ya didn't need to bring anything with you"...I can get over 100mpg in a bigass Ford van.....by carpooling;-) I'd be happy with the new Focus. 40mpg is perfect, tho the Jetta does offer almost twice the torque and nicer class of car...
i love what they did with the new introduction of their clean diesel in 2009. they increased the horsepower by 40% and fucked up the mileage. that's what economical diesel cars are all about.
tdi cup is amazing....but too expensive. At larry miller volkswagen they charge you 33,000 dollars for a tdi cup. and only 24,000 dollars for the one you have.
@jasonmphillips i dont rly know how "tuning" things work up the in the usa if theres a VW service or something like that u can get more infos about chip tuning there
congrats on the car - was looking forward to a good vid since im looking to buy one - but the camera shake and the background noise ruined it. nice car though!
@openshut69 It was never meant to be a professional video. I just made a video to show my friends and family and I have got more views than I ever anticipated.
@jasonmphillips Well i do. Im a little scared of my mom driving it because in 40-50 degree weather she just fires it up, without waiting for anything. I'm afraid it will damage something.
nice car man, im really jealous, i want your car haha, i have a couple of questions... 1. Would you recommend a TDI? and 2. How is the performence of a/your TDI.. what i mean is, is the engine response and does it feel like it has power?
im asking bc im interested in buying a TDI myself but i wanted to ask someone who has owned one before.
@onceblind6times Well my car before owning a TDI VW Passat and TDI VW Jwetta was an Acura RDX Turbo so comparing performance on the Turbo RDX was much better. When you stepped on the gas in that it would put you back in your seat, it was really fun to do but it only took premium gas and would pass anything but a gas station. I was spending about $40 a week in gas. The new TDI Jetta has a good amount of torque, it doesn't throw you back in your seat when you step on it but it isn't sluggish.
@PhaetonPower I am and will. I have got a new car after 1 year for the past 3 years and I have had this car for a year now and I have no plans or desires to get rid of it. I plan on keeping it for a while. I think I have only put a little over 7,000 miles on it in a year so at that rate this car could last a looooooooooong time.
@Purifiedinfire I bought the 05 used. I only had it for a year. I wanted a black on black car and also the older diesel had a lot of smoke that would come out of the exhaust when you would step on it. I like the newer styling and the technological gizmos like the ipod dock and the large LCD radio.
@jasonmphillips I miss the 2004's smaller less large family sedan looking style.
I'm going to wait until I am 25 (3 years) to buy again, but I hope to get a VW Diesel. I hope I can get 75 000 out of it without having too much trouble.
@AllDayBby that automatic will beat a manual in shift times. although I would prefer a manual and absolutely hate automatics I would rather use the DSG transmission if I was worried about racing.
@jasonmphillips ahh. I hadn't really done my research I just assumed the DSG was an automatic. Which it still is I guess, just lacking the torque converter which is the reason most automatics are less efficient. but you probably knew that already lol. Just out of curiosity why did you opt for the DSG? You seem like you're pretty into the car isn't an automatic, even having tiptronic selection, less of a full driving experience than a traditional manual?
Once you go DSG you never go back. The DSG tranny not only gives better gas milage than a manual transmission, it provides better performance over manual and automatic transmissions.
The DSG is basically a pair of manual transmissions, controlled by a electromechanical brain that thinks of your next gear shift before you do and then slides it in there without any drop in acceleration of the vehicle.
You have to drive one for a while to understand why it is what it is.
@ShiekUrBooty does it still behave like an automatic? I mean how does it handle slippage if there's no torque converter? surely it can't just pop it into the clutch from a stand still
There are some informative DSG videos and animations here on youtube, view them and see what you think. I really can't answer that question for you, you'd have to ask a qualified VW DSG mechanic.
@billydudeiskewl jasonmphillips is right, the DSG is better than the 6spd manual for some reason. the DSG is supposed to be one of the best transmissions that you can get in any vehicle.
@billydudeiskewl Being a VW fan is like being a Macintosh fan. I love both but you have to learn to live with the downfalls. For the VW Jetta Diesels: I love the mpg, but hate the list of weird maintenance quirks you have to keep an eye on. OH and those retarded crappy auto transmissions. I'm with you on that.
I would bet that VW is developing diesel engine to drive an alternator that will charge good batteries. I don't know what I am talking about! Let me know with hate or love
@jasonmphillips DSG he's right. Great idea/tech just not worth it until all the problems with it are worked out. You know how many dsgs they service/recall... you dont wanna know.
@pachris Go on tell us as I have a Golf with DSG and have never had a recall in the UK or a repair. It's lovely to drive and so much better than an automatic and even a manual due to the way it works. I just don't like the 23MPG as it's a petrol. My diesel car is manual and gets twice that with a heavy right foot!
@urbex2007 Neutral stall, temp sensors, software.. nearly like 100 000 recalled. But thats just the company 'official' recalls (audi/vw). You live in the uk and drive a golf with dsg and haven't had any problems. Guess that means everything is peachy amirite?
hey man any issues with it? I'm thinking about getting the 2010 version and i really want to rely on it and not have to bring it the shop you know? like the many nightmares people have had.
Have you test driven a TDI with a manual? they look like there hard to shift, and i heard a few jettas pass by me and like one of them i know was a manual trans and he sounded like he had to give it a hard give into the gears and he revved out quick too it was the kind like yuou have but proabbly not new idk like i said it was just a passbye
@Sauron767 if you want a jetta get the 2001 model it dose not have as much fetures as the 2010 model and its only a manual (if you dont mind shifting)ive had it for 9 years it ran hot and we needed a front end ajustment but other than than that its very reliable
@vasilacheandrei maybe so but that would mean I have to shift I will take the lower gas mileage in exchange for less work on my part.. yes I am that lazy.
haha bad ass car!! i love it, im a die hard nissan fan, but i half to admit it tho, that VW has some purty ass cars out. they look awesome, i love how they did the in side. way to go!! i might get one in august
How much did you pay for this car? I test drove the Golf TDI, was very satisfied with the powertrain but not the interior space and quality due to lack of power seats and leather trim. BTW, my cousin in China bought a 2010 Golf TDI that came with the brand new 7-speed DSG, that thing just rules.
do you prefer this Jetta instead that blue WV Passat?

@Purifiedinfire I bought the 05 used. I only had it for a year. I wanted a black on black car and also the older diesel had a lot of smoke that would come out of the exhaust when you would step on it. I like the newer styling and the technological gizmos like the ipod dock and the large LCD radio.

@jasonmphillips I miss the 2004's smaller less large family sedan looking style.
I'm going to wait until I am 25 (3 years) to buy again, but I hope to get a VW Diesel. I hope I can get 75 000 out of it without having too much trouble.

@AllDayBby that automatic will beat a manual in shift times. although I would prefer a manual and absolutely hate automatics I would rather use the DSG transmission if I was worried about racing.

why would you opt for failomatic! you claim to have great MPG but it would be even better with 6 speed!
billydudeiskewl 1 year ago
@billydudeiskewl actually the new transmissions claim to get better MPG than the manual and better 0-60 speeds than manual. marketing?
jasonmphillips 1 year ago
@jasonmphillips ahh. I hadn't really done my research I just assumed the DSG was an automatic. Which it still is I guess, just lacking the torque converter which is the reason most automatics are less efficient. but you probably knew that already lol. Just out of curiosity why did you opt for the DSG? You seem like you're pretty into the car isn't an automatic, even having tiptronic selection, less of a full driving experience than a traditional manual?
billydudeiskewl 1 year ago
@billydudeiskewl yup

Once you go DSG you never go back. The DSG tranny not only gives better gas milage than a manual transmission, it provides better performance over manual and automatic transmissions.
The DSG is basically a pair of manual transmissions, controlled by a electromechanical brain that thinks of your next gear shift before you do and then slides it in there without any drop in acceleration of the vehicle.
You have to drive one for a while to understand why it is what it is.

@ShiekUrBooty does it still behave like an automatic? I mean how does it handle slippage if there's no torque converter? surely it can't just pop it into the clutch from a stand still

@billydudeiskewl
There are some informative DSG videos and animations here on youtube, view them and see what you think. I really can't answer that question for you, you'd have to ask a qualified VW DSG mechanic.
ShiekUrBooty 1 year ago
@billydudeiskewl jasonmphillips is right, the DSG is better than the 6spd manual for some reason. the DSG is supposed to be one of the best transmissions that you can get in any vehicle.

supposedly, Honda has a bike out with a dual shaft tranny option, the rider will be able to shift gears by button.

@billydudeiskewl Being a VW fan is like being a Macintosh fan. I love both but you have to learn to live with the downfalls. For the VW Jetta Diesels: I love the mpg, but hate the list of weird maintenance quirks you have to keep an eye on. OH and those retarded crappy auto transmissions. I'm with you on that.

I would bet that VW is developing diesel engine to drive an alternator that will charge good batteries. I don't know what I am talking about! Let me know with hate or love

@jasonmphillips DSG he's right. Great idea/tech just not worth it until all the problems with it are worked out. You know how many dsgs they service/recall... you dont wanna know.
pachris 1 year ago
@pachris Go on tell us as I have a Golf with DSG and have never had a recall in the UK or a repair. It's lovely to drive and so much better than an automatic and even a manual due to the way it works. I just don't like the 23MPG as it's a petrol. My diesel car is manual and gets twice that with a heavy right foot!
urbex2007 1 year ago
@urbex2007 Neutral stall, temp sensors, software.. nearly like 100 000 recalled. But thats just the company 'official' recalls (audi/vw). You live in the uk and drive a golf with dsg and haven't had any problems. Guess that means everything is peachy amirite?

Have you test driven a TDI with a manual? they look like there hard to shift, and i heard a few jettas pass by me and like one of them i know was a manual trans and he sounded like he had to give it a hard give into the gears and he revved out quick too it was the kind like yuou have but proabbly not new idk like i said it was just a passbye
Sauron767 1 year ago
@Sauron767 if you want a jetta get the 2001 model it dose not have as much fetures as the 2010 model and its only a manual (if you dont mind shifting)ive had it for 9 years it ran hot and we needed a front end ajustment but other than than that its very reliable

How much did you pay for this car? I test drove the Golf TDI, was very satisfied with the powertrain but not the interior space and quality due to lack of power seats and leather trim. BTW, my cousin in China bought a 2010 Golf TDI that came with the brand new 7-speed DSG, that thing just rules.
