    Lots of crude oil in USA & under the Rockies

    Thank God for the government making this enviornmentally concious decision for us!! Just think how much more we'd be spoiling Mother Earth with all that nasty drilling! It's a good thing that they have such a big influence with the EPA & lawmakers, because even if we did all that drilling, we...

    2012 Jetta TDI vs 2012 Passat TDI

    VW probably will still have the complex emissions system with the addition of urea on the Passat & the urea ain't cheap.

    Renewable Lubricants Bio-Power and Bio-Boost

    Looked at the site & noticed that the freezing point for their anti gel product is 15f. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/RENEWABLE-LUBRICANTS-Diesel-Fuel-Conditioner-4JPP5?Pid=search I'm probably reading it wrong, but what the heck good does that do?

    140k miles how to find out if Cat Converter is clogged or..

    I didn't think the cat had anything to do with reducing soot, or am I mistaken.

    What's the difference between Jetta TDI & TDI LE?

    A dealership I went to said they a couple on the lot & they were cheaper that a Jetta TDI. I've looked on the VW site & can't find any listing for an LE, but you can google 2011 VW JETTA TDI LE & it will bring up several sites that show this vehicle for sale. My question is, what's the...

    Different scenario: is a TDI for me?

    Sounds like you need a 1st gen Cummins. They are totally mechanical, no electronics to foul up during the EMP from a nuclear warhead, extemely reliable & will get you 20 + mpg. I'm currently driving one now & consistantly get 22 mpg on the hwy.

    Impressed with the 2.0 TDI

    Went to the TrueCar.com site & have already been contacted by a dealer in Omaha willing to sell me a Jetta TDI with a manual transmission for $22,645! That's over $1000 less than the msrp from VW, thanks TDI_Timmy! If you're ever in the KC area, give me a holler, the first 2 rounds are on me!

    Impressed with the 2.0 TDI

    Went for a test drive yesterday in a 2011 Jetta TDI DSG. Truth be told, I was leery of everything I've read about how stout the 2.0 was. After all, it's only a 120 ci 4 banger & most of the reviews I've read were comparing the 2.0 to gas engines. I've driven Cummins powered Dodges since 2003...

    Block Heaters?

    It sucks that you can't get that from the factory here in the US. It gets just as cold here as it does in Canada, but I guess the folks in Stuttgart don't see it that way. If we can get the car for a good price, I'll probably be giving the frostheater guy a call in a couple months. BTW Thank...

    KC Area Dealerships

    I GOOGLEd Baron Volkswagen & found that Baron VW closed on 8/31/08 to focus on their BMW & Mini dealerships according to the Kansas City Business Journal. I reckon I'll end up calling all 3 dealerships & see who'll give me the best price.

    Block Heaters?

    Thanks for the update. I'll make a mental note about the block heater, but it's weird that the option is not listed on VW's site.

    Block Heaters?

    Found this on www.myturbodiesel.com. article updated for most current info from the info in this thread: Details and pricing for 2011 Jetta are here! Here are some of the additions: There are only 2 trim levels: TDI and TDI with the nav package. Dealer installed options like body kits or...

    Block Heaters?

    Can we get block heaters from the factory in the US? I've noticed that you can get it in Canada, but haven't seen anything for here. I know that VW says that it'll start at -20 f, but I'd feel alot better if I could keep it warm for cold MO mornings!

    KC Area Dealerships

    Since diesel is now at $4.00/gal in the KC area, I'm seriously looking at getting a 2011 Jetta TDI to replace my 92 Dodge D250 as a daily driver, got to love a 6000+ lb truck that gets 22+ mpg, all hail the mighty Cummins!! But $100+ fillups every week are killing me!! I see that there are 3...

    ?? about 1999 Jetta GL TDI

    Sorry, its a manual with 92k miles. Also, if I decide to get the car, how can I get hold of oilhammer? Is he in Missouri? If he's not, who in the KC area could give the car a good once over? I'd be stupid not to have someone who knows these cars look at it before I bought it. Another...
