This morning I try to start my 2006 Jetta and get no result for 45 minutes. My car has already been towed in to a VW dealership 4 times for the same issue. I feel that it is a lemon.

  • Yeah, idk what the weather was like there but because of the higher combustion point of Diesel due to parrafin you're better off using the glowplugs. In winter here I half turn the key a couple times just to get the glow plugs going. People who start up immediately in this kind of engine risk seriously fucking their cylinders / block. The most cricual part of any diesel's running is the start up.

  • @4myeuro for the first time in the day or at any time after the car has sat for over 1 hour.. you should use glowplugs.. I have a 2006 VW Jetta TDI myself, and I find that that works really good

    

  • @jayguy173 aren't they "no-wait" start-ups? Even though they are diesel, i think with the new TDI's you are able to just get in and turn the key.

  • MUERTE A LOS DIESEL!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • Did you put gasoline in this car jesus christ!!!!! You should read the rear of your car TDI not GDI and if your ignorant fucking friends or you can figure out why the gas knozel wont fit into your or the big sticker thats SAYS DIESEL FUEL ONLY then your a ill person

  • sounds like you don't know how to maintain a diesel. Don't bash vw for your mistakes.

  • thats why i dont trust any newer vehicle to begin with. all these shitty parts they put on them

  • this is why I will never buy a used diesel again. 99% of people don't know a fucking thing about them. You cant drive a diesel car and treat it like a gasoline car, in cold climates you need to run additives, need to give the glow plugs proper time before starting, and dont turn the car off immediately after running it hard. And especially need to keep the revs down, diesels dont like revs.
