    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Given VW rigged the software on all these models and more, it is difficult to understand why they never did the same with the Tiguan. Since it first came out, The U.S. Market has been practically begging for a Tiguan TDI. Who within VW did not allow this to happen with the Tiguan and do they...

    09 oil change amount Today I had my 10K service done at Capistrano VW. The invoice states 5 G-052-195-1L, so it appears they put in the propper oil. However, I checked the oil when I got home and it was high. I waited 20 minutes and double checked the Owners Manual dip stick graphics on page...

    Tiguan TDI ?

    A few days ago I called the San Juan CapistranoCA dealer letting them know I wanted to come in and put a deposit down on a TDI Tiguan. Forty minutes later I got a call back explaining they did not expect to see the TDI Tiguan for about 12 more months. I was very disappointed and surprised...

    Biodiesel algae

    Nicklockard Agreed. I am all for what they are doing, think it is great, and want to see more! This may be splitting hairs for some, but as you know the devil is in the details. The primary goal is to eliminate any additional CO2 in the atmosphere and thus minimize the global warming...

    Walmart diesel any decent?

    I refuse to buy anything from Walmart. If I were to shop at Walmart it would be for cheap veg oil to make bio-diesel. The veg oil being one of the few product they have produced in USA and not in China.

    Bush will tour VA Biodiesel Refinery 5/16!

    It`s up to us fellas, waiting around for government to make the move towards a safe, sane, and sustainable personal transportation system is futile. I agree "it's up to us"! All of the US should have a bigger focus towards energy independence. However, one should not discount the importance...

    Bush will tour VA Biodiesel Refinery 5/16!

    Bush will not do anything that will threaten the record profits currently enjoyed by the oil companies. He is going to the biodiesel plant, so he can get the other 99% of the bill and its oil, gas, coal, nuclear and electric utilities industry perks passed by the US Senate. Because of these...

    Thank you Ynot and BlackenedBora, In California it is my understanding the TDI is exempt from the standard SMOG test. Sorry I should have stated before the emissions "TEST" is not my concern. I just want to know the environmental impact of the changes. I know the added power will be a lot more...

    Shall I buy this TDI?

    Hello Dan, You should give "Harvieux" a call. He is in So Cal, but he currently has a Jetta listed on the TDI site that sounds better than what you are looking at. He only sells TDI cars, so if you decided on a used TDI - he would be a good place to start. Here is his phone. (310) 721-4867...
