    New 'SMART' car is a joke compared to JETTA TDI

    I was on the reservation list for a SMART. When they finally decided on the engine and provided the mileage figures I quickly gave up my position and got my reservation fee back. When asked why, I told them why would I give up 2 seats and a trunk for less fuel mileage. I’ll stick with my TDI...

    Stories when filling up at "gasoline station"

    I wasn’t filling up but I was on the way to the fuel station for my every 1 - 2 month fill-up with my wife and granddaughters (we were going out for pizza too) when my oldest asked what that noise was when I started the car? They had never been in my Jetta before and they thought it sounded...

    All 4 Windows Freezing Shut!

    Be very careful, I just posted this http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=197548 The clips, at least in my case, have a very high failure rate.

    Window Clips, how many times can they fail…

    Drivers side just went again today. I think this is the third time for this window. Passenger side went twice, I think. Rear passenger rear window also went once too. Why can’t they get this right? None of my other cars, previous and current, (4 Toyotas and 3 Fords, all with electric windows)...

    2 for 2, NJ inspection but…

    Both my 2002 Avalon and 2003 Jetta TDI were due for inspection this month. I took over the Avalon first and it passed. I then carefully took over the Jetta, the check engine symbol has been going on and off recently, so I kept my fingers crossed and it passed. New Jersey automatically fails...

    I need TDi Lessons (NY, MA or CT?)

    I live in northeast NJ and I would not mind leaning more about my TDI. I’ll pass on the fried Twinkies but I would gladly contribute a fried turkey to the festivities.

    Very bad review of A4 Jetta, has anyone else had these issues?

    I’m not going to get into the details of my 03 Jetta with 62000 miles but what I can tell you that it has been back to the shop more times for either warranty and/or non—warranty work more times than all 4 of either my current or passed owned Toyotas combined. Total ownership time with the...

    Volkswagen Searching for Oldest and Highest-mileage Diesels in US

    Well let’s see now. I have 61000 miles on my 03 Jetta so if I want to have a shot at this I’m probably going to need at least a million miles. So 1,000,000 – 61,000 leaves only 939,000 miles to go. Assuming an average speed of 60 mph, 939,000 / 60 gives us 15,650 hours which is a little more...

    Astounding discovery: new diesel engine invented

    I bought my Jetta from Palisades VW and I paid less than sticker (quite a bit less). Granted it was in 2003 before gas shot up so I guess there just wasn’t as much of a demand then. I have also had my car serviced there and I have no complaints other than it is just way too expensive. I will...

    First ULSD tank and mileage is good

    Yeah, I guess I should have given comparison numbers. :o I would say it is about the same. Normally I get around 34 in city/local and 45 highway.

    First ULSD tank and mileage is good

    Just went and filled up with my second tank of ULSD. First tank yeilded 37.6 mpg. I would say about 60 - 70 % was highway and the rest local driving. Also noticed less smoke on initial startup and there does not seem to be an performance changes.

    Newbie with an '03 Jetta Wagon that won't start

    My '03 Jetta at 55,000 miles had clogged intake and EGR. I had similar symptoms, sometimes it would start, sometimes it wouldn’t, big clouds of smoke when it did. Since having it cleaned all is fine. Dealer was very expensive. Do it yourself if you know how or find a guru.

    '02 Jetta Transmission Issue

    I have had a 2 to 3 second delay in my 03 auto Jetta since day 1 in both forward and reverse. I did read somewhere in this forum that this was normal. It never took 6 seconds though.
