    Jack Daniels Vw Fair Lawn Nj Used Wrong Oil In My 2009 Jetta Tdi

    I don't mean to sound rude, but, with all the problems you had before you even took it to the dealership, why did you? If somebody is that rude to me and then the parts department was that inept, I'm not going. Plain and simple. Sure you have free maintenance, but is it worth the hassle and...

    Mercedes SL diesel?

    I believe it was on there as well. If I remember, the engine was taller than the original motor and the hood wouldn't shut without major modifications to the hood. I'm not sure if he made it must past that.

    Rental question

    Hey. I work for Enterprise, and I know that we have some Rabbits, some Jettas, and some Passats. We can't guarantee the specific make and model but your best bet is to find an enterprise close or inside a VW dealership. They typically keep cars that are similar to the cars being sold. (i.e...

    Touaeg R50 TDI announced.

    Lets not forget that VW is the "people's car," the few people who can afford a $120K+ car. The best thing that VW can do is build inexpensive cars that get great gas mileage. That's what people look for when they don't look at the brand. How much gas mileage? What's the price?

    Re: $2000 Premium on TDI at one Stealership!!??!!? I apologize for the double post but I forgot I had more to say... The dealership doesn't make very much on each car but when they sell 80+ cars per month it adds up sure, but they have every right to sell it at what they want. Also, they may...
