Has VW changed their service agreement? All scheduled service on my '01 up to 24,000 miles was "free" ... From: TexasTDI To: VW-TDI@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Yes, apparently the thing in '01/02 was just for those model years. Yes, the '04 and newer models take a different oil; make sure that wherever you take your...
... It appears to be a policy of not giving free rotation to members who have non Costco tires. I don't know if this is the policy of Costco Canada (a wholly...
Yeppers, Costco Wholesale will no longer perform flat repair, tire rotations, or balancing of non-Costco purchased tires. However, if you are an executive...
I am possibly interested in buying an 02' Jetta TDI. What are the pros and cons of diesel vs. gas. And what about the car model itself? any recommendations? ...
Pros: The engines last longer 50mpg Diesel fuel is GENERALLY cheaper It's not a Gasser Cons: Climates that exceed cold in excess of 15 degrees F or -15 degrees...
I disagree on the cold climate con, look at the unusual number of these cars on the road in Canada. My car has always started in the minus teens Fahrenheit,...
I disagree on the cheaper fuel too. That is very regional. However, with the increased MPG, cost of fuel per mile still works out way in favor of diesel. And...
If you want to love the car and do the general work yourself, the tdi is wonderful and less expensive than a gasser. If you want someone else to do the work,...
Well, I pondered the same things recently and bought a 2004 Jetta TDI. I really love the car and I've come to love the Diesel. I got my first 50 mpg tankful...
The day I drove my TDI off the lot in february of 1998, it had some significant trouble starting up in temperatures around 20F... I can only imagine the hell...
About Rdkern's comments... I couldnt have said it better myself... About the cheaper fuel, that is definatly reigional, that's why I said GENERALLY. Diesel...
I've never had a problem starting my TDI in winter. And our winters can get down to 20F. My TDI sits outside for 8 or more hours at a time. No block heater....
Cody, It sounds like you have a love/hate relationship with your car. I'm glad the positives out-weigh the negatives. I bought an 04 Jetta GL the first of...
let's not forget that the batteries on hybrids die after a few years (5 to 7) and cost roughly 10 grand to replace, essentially totalling the vehicle. Sucks ...
Well with my 04 TDI Passat Wagon cruising about 80 mph plus alot of city driving I will only get 35 mpg. But I do have more space then most small SUV's. Also I...
Making a hybrid diesel would increase the fuel mileage slightly... but it would probably only be about 10mpg.. if that. Based on what I've read, the reason is...

Correct. If the timing is retarded it makes for very hard starting when cold. Chris Thornton 1991 VW Jetta 2 Door 1.6 Diesel - 243k miles 2000 VW Golf 1.9 TDI...
Somebody posted a link once for an article about VW making a prototype diesel hybrid. I've never gotten better than 47mpg. I routinely average 45mpg. Chris...
Don't jump to conclusions on the "Diesel/Hybrid don't work" theory. Several attempts show that they do work but have not come to the price point needed to...
I just went through this. My timing was so retarded (pully had slipped) that when putting the VagCom in Basic Settings, it was off the graph! Set it back to...
Just bought an '04 Jetta GL. One thing I wish it had is a nice center console/armrest; both for the potential storage space (which the Jetta definately lacks)...
