own both 2013 bug and passat tdi's As someone who has owned both engines I can say " you can't go wrong with either". I have had no engine problems with either car. The Passat delivers about 2 sometimes 3 more mpg on the average fill up than my bug. The most noticeable difference is range as...

First bug tdi convertible had electrical problems associated with the main wiring harness. After the issue was fixed approximately 45 days went by and the problem raised its head again. This time in earnest. Couldn't shut eng. off at times. Couldn't start eng. at times. Finally would not...

Agree I tend to agree with ya Para. I have a 2013 bug tdi conv. and the rear head rest are easily managable. With three mirrors and a neck that still swivels my neighbors are safe! :D ... Mike congrats on the new bug. I have the same color schemes on my month old ride.

Slush box Chuck - no one is lying however the dsg does use alittle more energy. In the real world folks with standard tend to be slightly more aggressive than the dsg which negates any mpg advantage. With standard u deal with the tranny and a manual clutch with dsg u deal with a manual...

gears DSG ... Never been a big fan of the dsg would rather have a less sophisticated automatic. Standard is fun but gets old in stop and go traffic. I'm sure my overall mpg would be a bit higher with standard and would eliminate the "big" dsg service down the road. Oh well..... This is my...

Mpg 2013 bug tdi convertible. Live at 7000 ft. Foot hills of Colo. driving consists of rural 50 mph, interstate 75mph split evenly. Winter fuel is giving me a overall avg 42.6 computed 43 car computed . As the car only has 2000 miles on it I am sure it will improve with time and summer fuel...

Picking up a 2013 bug convertible (tdi). What is a regen? Any issues with the tdi bug conv known yet (its a nav/sound model)? Have had 2012 Jetta and Passat tdi's. Not a big fan of the nav. system but I use nav often and its easier than putting up and taking down the garmin!

axnels thanks for your input. please let me know what shop you use to disable the light. Thanks greg. bradyspalce1@earthlink.net or this forum.

Just moved to Larkspur, Co and want some snow tires for my 2010 jetta tdi (sedan). Called Tire Rack and a sales agent said that the Bridgestone Blizzaks are the best for snow and ice. He also said that the steel rims (I wanted a package) would not accept the tpms sensor. Questions: Is that the...

one year Thanks plus I should have said over 1 year now. Its corrected.

Nothing seems to change If you enjoy cars and car talk most people will populate on to the apporiate forum. I usually get two to three new cars a year (I don't drink or do drugs - cars are my choice of drugs) and find myself on different forums. Had a 2011 Subaru Outback for three months and...

Just purchased a 2010 jetta tdi because I wanted to feel that torque again (this is my 6th tdi). Moved to the mountains of Colorado and my 4 cycl. outback just had to breath too hard. Have had the vdub 3 weeks and put 2800 miles on it - averaged 41 mpg (computor - even if its off 5% I'm happy)...

thanks dan Thanks dan I'm convinced by responses that I do not need that heater. I agree about the fuel. This is my 6th vw tdi - I've just never owned one in a cooler climate. I'm trying to get in touch with steve carrol for some other work I want done - just can't seem to get in touch with...

steve carrol Anyone have a phone number for steve carrol? I've tried reaching him thru this forum without response. I live near Castle Rock, Colo. is steve the only guru in that area?

heater Thanks Funguy. I suspected that might be the case. I appreciate your input. How does the Jetta do in snow along the front range?

frost heater Hi Mike Van. I just bought a place up the road from you - Perry Park in Larkspur. Mike would you know anyone or business that installs the frost heater. I'm not a very handy guy and would trust the job to someone else who has already installed one of these heaters. Will this in...

I'm almost sure I've read on this forum that by selecting heat to be ON you actually delay the engine from reaching its normal running temp. If that is true - somebody please explain why? I just bought a place in Colorado and plan on spending the winter up there - so the answer to that...

2010 jsw wagon, dsg, dec09, 500 under msrp, 6000miles, no problems, average 40 +/- 60% highway 40% local.

Once again I posted an earlier comment on this thread but I just have to say: We have some of the most insensitive and uninformed folks here. I have been a airline capt. for 37 years (kinda familiar with how mechanical and electrical stuff works and doesnt work). I get a new car usually every...
