With the Golf VII being newly released in Europe, can we expect it to be here in 2014? if so, will it bring the EA288 TDI engine with it and into the 2014 Beetle as well? Will all EA288 NA applications have urea injection? Any forecasts if this engine has system modifications to resolve HPFP...

Is this engine going to be available in the 2014 Model-Year North American vehicles? In particular, the 2014 Beetle. Is there any information available if it will have urea injection? Any numbers on projected fuel economy? The 2013 Audi and European Golf Mark VII are slated to have this...

Advice On Purchasing A Used New Beetle TDI: ALH vs BEW After test driving the 2013 Beetle DSG, I've decided that perhaps a used New Beetle may be a better deal for me. The TDI/DSG did not feel that much more inspiring than the 2.5 with automatic. I'm sure the 6-speed manual would be a lot more...

Hi all! Went looking at VW's the other night. I have not been too enthused about the Beetle styling, but went to look at it and the Golf and Jetta. They had a beautiful Toffee Brown Beetle on the showroom floor. Sat in it and it was like meeting up with an old friend. I had a used blue 1999...

Future VW Reliability and Fuel Economy. That was the subject. There hasn't been much discourse in response related to same.

I do know that Consumer Reports trashed the Insight. Good for them. They also rated it it near or at the top of reliable vehicles. As far as moaning or looking for a VW, I'm doing neither. Vw's drive and handle great with gobs of torque. They are not more fuel efficient than an Insight. Where...

I was in the market for a new car a couple of years ago. I ended up with a 2010 Honda Insight. A link to a discussion at that time is here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=283381&highlight=honda+insight+2010 The Honda has been great.; reliable and overall 46 mpg. Gas is about...

I think this link provides the pros and cons of a Honda Insight vs a TDI: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=283381

Test drive a Honda Insight. You'll average 46 mpg combined; over 50 in highway driving. They start below $19,000 in a base model. It's a very reliable car and probably the best value in a high mpg vehicle. With the HPFP problems in the VW TDI's, why take a chance on a potential financial...

I'm looking for a station selling diesel with a cetane rating over 40. Does anyone know of such? Preferably in Suffolk. Thanks!

PM's have been answered. Thanks!

If anyone is interested in this, please post here. I hate to see this junked and am holding out for someone that can make good use of it.

It was in an accident hitting the hitch receiver of a Nissan Extera. Needs hood, radiatior, and vacuum pump. The engine was rebuilt, all new bearings, pistons & rings, the crank oil gallery "balls" were removed, crand cleaned and tapped for allen key "plugs". The cylinder head had all new...

I'm a conservative driver. I don't need to corner the clover-leafs at 85 mph. The Insight is a nice car to drive. It's not a VW, but it's not a boring car to drive. Diesel's, the one's I've owned from VW, were purchased for fuel economy and an enjoyable driving experience. You still get the VW...

Test drove it again tonight. The display indicated 52.9 mpg. Quite remarkable; even factoring in an optimistic reading by 3 mpg--it stillis 49.9 mpg. The car really drives nice; I'm used to VW, but this is not bad at all. Nothing like a Toyota or Nissan from years past. The steering is tight...

I test drove it and the acceleration is fine for the 2010 Insight. The driving seat and steering wheel are fine. The seat adjusts up and down, the wheel tilts and telescopes. No different than my VW. It has automatic climate control, which is nice. The gauges are laid out well, with a rainbow...

It seems VW is favoring power over fuel economy. The 2010 Insight seems to average mid-40's and up. What type of fuel economy has the 6-speed TDI been offering? I'm a former VW TDI owner. Had to get rid of it after a laundry list of repairs on a 100k mile car. Sold it needing a heater core...

$22,789 Golf TDI 4-door, Manual Transmission $199 Mandatory Bluetooth $476 Dynaudio $225 Cold Weather Package $750 Destination $24,439 8.625% Sales Tax Rate What type of lease program's are available? I want to keep the payment as low as possible. Thanks!

1999 135k miles.

VW says it's not covered by warranty. Yes, it is the heater core.
