    Which navigation/radio for an 06 Jetta?

    "People are right- navigation is silly when a mounted phone works just as well and you don't have to worry about overpriced map purchases".

    Which navigation/radio for an 06 Jetta?

    1) No it doesn't (built in GPS goes through speaker system and screen is larger) 2) Who pays for maps? Just a sample on IGO8. There's nothing like it. http://artwork-igo8.blogspot.com/search/label/car%20collection

    How do you clean heater cores?

    I've used this in the past with other cars. Forces the water to reverse the flow and you'd be shocked when you see the garbage come out of the core. http://www.amazon.com/Prestone-AF-KIT-Flush-Fill-Kit/dp/B000CCFY5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448414048&sr=8-1&keywords=heater+core+flush+kit

    Goodbye for now; thank you all. Selling my TDI (ad link attached).

    I traded in my 2009 TDI for a 2012 Chevy Cruze back in Jan 2012. One of the best moves I've ever did. Almost 67,000 trouble free miles and no worry about a HPFP implosion. Getting 38mpg compared to 40mpg with the Jetta and gas in NJ is alot cheaper than Diesel. When I had the Jetta I was a...

    Vw extended warranty on HPFP

    The extended warranty is worthless. It only covers the HPFP, not the remainder of the fuel system once the HPFP implodes.

    Vw extended warranty on HPFP

    All this does is give VW the word on denying coverage once the car is over 120k.

    Watch tomorrow starts the denying of claims from VW after the warranty expires. Looks like they pulled this one off with no voluntary recall.

    Official list of HPFP Failures

    There's a catch... A: Warranty Forever covers parts and labor on all approved engine, transmission and driveline failures including applicable seals and gaskets. Please ask your sales professional for a detailed list of components covered. If they don't approve it, it's not covered.

    Sold the 2009 sportwagon bought a Prius

    Since the Prius has been around for a number of years, good to know that the new batteries are somewhat realistic.

    Sold the 2009 sportwagon bought a Prius

    You're comparison is similiar to mine when I traded in my 09 TDI for a 2012 Cruze 2LT RS 6M. Some here felt it was in their best interest to bash me. Here is it a year later with 15,300 on the Cruze and very happy with it with no problems. Still I miss the TDI and hope to buy another TDI...

    No HD radio or Sat radio. But a kick ass GPS software system (IGO8 or Primo).

    My 09' Jetta Lost its HPFP

    OEM = $100 (maybe) Dealer supplied = $1400 This is typical of every car manufacturer.

    Aftermarket Radio Opinions

    As a previous Jetta owner I had an aftermarket Chinese made unit like the one your looking at. Bought it in Sept 09 and was still working great when the Jetta was traded in Dec 2011. I bought mine from http://www.audiosources.net/ These units are truly plug and play. If you have any...

    I think there was one here about 2-3 weeks ago that was a resale owner with about 142,000 miles and VW said no way.

    I'm not a beetle expert, so couldn't tell what year, but it was the newer model and def wasn't a 1969.

    small amount of soot in the tail pipe - 2012 Golf

    I was behind a newer TDI Bettle today and gagged on the smell and black smoke when he punched it. Thought that was the old diesel days,

    Chevy Cruze Diesel a direct competitor to the Jetta TDI

    Not exactly. The 1.8 non turbo has a belt, while the 1.4 turbo has a chain.
