Hey, thanks in advance for checking out my post. I am a newbie to the forum and have one initial question to get me started.
I have been doing a lot of looking at Jetta and Golf TDI's, 2001 and newer, on eBay and Cars.com. Yesterday I found something interesting posted under one of the cars I found on eBay. It said:
2004 VW JETTA GLS TDI TURBO DIESEL ( PUMPE DEUSE )
What is "Pumpe Deuse" you ask? It is why you should only consider buying a 2004 or later TDI. The 2003 and earlier engines were NOT built for the VERY SOON to come ULSD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel), and will require an expensive modification to adapt the injection pumps.
Anyone out there know if there is any truth to this? Any help or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to the auction if you want to check it out for yourself: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...m=220032131041&ih=012&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT
Thanks again!
