    Less expensive diesel?

    Have any of you in the Vancouver region found much less expensive diesel? Most stations are $2.50+. I found a Shell station in Tsawwassen selling regular diesel at less than $2.00 (Gas Buddy data). I'm wondering why such a price difference; does it contain more bio-diesel, is it US diesel...

    expensive diesel in metro vancouver

    That's the story I used to hear; I don't buy it any more. Seems to me, over the last two winters, that the diesel price was pretty consistently lower. I.E. there wasn't a "winter jump" if you will.

    How very interesting! My new 2015 Jetta had a "rattling" noise that seemed to be coming from the glove box area. Began when the car had about 1.3K on it. The noise manifested itself at around 1500rpm. It got worse as time went on and eventually became really obnoxious. It took the mechanics...

    High-pitched noise related to AC

    This sounds very similar to the problem I'm having with my 2015 Jetta TDI. While the ac is on there is a "whine" that is coming from the ventilation system; it has become more persistent over time and now pretty much exists all the time the ac is on. The sound goes away when the ac is turned...

    loping/pulsing at low speeds

    My 98 bucks reliably in the 1400-1600RPM range. Use Stanadyne additive always. This happens to me at steady speed not under acceleration.

    Bucking at near-full throttle

    car bucking I have a 98 TDI Jetta. It bucks reliably at 1400-1600 RPM in all gears at steady throttle, not under acceleration. Dealer's service no help on this one. Use Stanadyne additive with every fillup. Any ideas what could be causing the bucking?
