    Fuel range on 2010 TDI Jetta DSG

    80-90% highway for 2014 VW JSW with DSG and averaged just about 38 MPGs. I set the cruise at an actual speed 74-75 MPH. (80 MPH indicated) I'm sure if I followed the speedometer indicated 65 MPH, I'd likely be cruising at an actual 60 MPH And likely achieve 40 MPGs or better. My wife...

    High mileage CR - post it up!

    It's a company car. Get replaced at 75k. They dropped VW from the list of replacements due to the scandal. I've asked if I can buy it but, not sure what the buy out will be. Only time will tell. Love the car.

    What would you replace your TDI with????

    Autoboxes appear to be achieving better fuel efficiency over MTs so, it's no longer a driving choice but the manufacturers supplying the market with better fuel efficiency models. Progress isn't always good. Lol. At least I have my motorcycles. But they are going auto too! Slowly but...

    What would you replace your TDI with????

    I'm on my second tdi. But it's a company vehicle and they are no longer an option. So when it's time for a replacement, I'm moving on to Subie. If it was my money and vehicle, I'd like to keep with the tdi. Maybe do some mods like the dpf delete and Malone tune etc. Both have been good...

    2015 Sportwagen Tow Rating

    Who has the time to battle them in court if they refuse to repair under warranty? That's the problem. I think it's ok to have a hitch and say it's for a bike rack or what ever. The problem is having a wiring harness and or having a breakdown while actually towing something. For most, they...

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

    I think the reality is they have a fix. However, it will be at the expense of something. You don't get something for nothing. So the fix will put the vehicles in emissions compliance but I suspect the performance and or fuel efficiency will be negatively impacted. It's just a question by...

    Doesn't the cold weather in the winter impact Petro vehicles as well as diesel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

    At 60,000 Kms since January 2 of 2015, with my 2014 GSW. I'm not looking forward to any updates that would impact fuel range or performance. Also concerned my company will remove the TDI from the list of vehicles offer. We get replacements at 120,000 Kms. Oh well. It was nice while it...

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

    I'm all for the desire to protect our planet. Just don't throw stuff at my car. It's not that difficult.

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

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs trigger massive recall, s... This doesn't really answer my question. Or I'm just not getting it. How does a 2003 TDI compare to a 2013 TDI in terms of real world emissions? Are they compatible? My point is, there are nearly half a...

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

    So how does my 2014 TDI compare relative to pre 2009 TDI for emissions? NOx is 10 to 40 times more than spec. Ok. How does the actual number compare to the old standard? I'm not looking to forgive VW or defend them. Just trying to get a feel for how bad it really is. I love classic cars...

    Anyone potential Passat buyers discouraged by Dieselgeddon?

    My apologies as this topic is for Passat. Although a Passat is/was on my radar when my company car becomes due for replacement.

    Anyone potential Passat buyers discouraged by Dieselgeddon?

    It's really the only affordable diesel in the market. The rest are premium brands. So, this is disappointing. I'm running 65,000 kilometres a year and lime the range of the TDI. Previous petro vehicles needed a refil in the 600 range. Sometimes less depending on city driving. I'm...

    US Recall

    Considering this has been going on since 2009, I'm not so sure how close VW is to an actual fix? Also considering it's such a boondoggle, that any half measure to get things back in order will be closely examined. The lack of information about recall is actually very telling. They have no...

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

    Resale value in light of recent events

    Too soon to tell. I say wait until the dust settles and see what it all means. For now, doesn't appear there is any recall. It's a great car. Drive it and enjoy it.

    Does driving a TDI really save any money??

    me too. But I'm gonna chime in anyways. I look at it more from a driving experience and convenience stand point. If we were to only focus on cost of ownership, I think a lot of folks would be driving something else. But, the VW itself is a nice driving machine and feels comfortable and...

    Fuel range on 2010 TDI Jetta DSG

    I suspect the range display is calculating based on a lot of start ups and idle. Even with some highway cruising, it won't adjust too much. Give it some time. Hand calculate for the first couple of fill ups.
