Anyone in the know care to share info on TDI availability in the new Jetta V? I'm just wondering if VW plans t offer the new Jetta with a TDI option. If so, when should we expect to see it in the US, and will a manual transmission be offered? Thanks.

Changes for \'05 Anyone have the scoop on what changes we can expect on the '05 TDI Jetta/Golf/NB?

I'll be placing my order for an '05 Passat TDI within the next week or so. I need some advice on wether I should order a sedan or wagon. I don't necessarily need a wagon, but I think the resale on a wagon will be higher than a sedan. I just don't know if a TDI wagon will always command that...

I am contemplating a move over to the dark side. I mean buying a TDI with an automatic rather than a manual. I have yet to drive an auto TDI, so I have no basis for comparison in this matter. What I'd like to know is if chipping an '03 TDi with auto will produce the feeling of similar power...

Why is \"Accidental death\" thread is locked....? I think I know why, but I will not make a gross assumtion like a certain member in the "Accidental death" thread. I have been noticing more and more frequently in the Forum that members are jumping to conclusions, and making assumptions that...

I want an '04 PD TDI, but I have been spooked a little by a lot of the problems my fellow TDIClub members have been having. My '03 has been rock solid with no problems and 44,000 miles. I unfortunately had a momentary lapse of sanity, and traded her in. I cannot live without a TDI! I know...

Yesterday I recieved my January 12 copy of AutoWeek magazine. On page 11, Denise McCluggage has written a superb peice on biodiesel. I can't remember reading such a concise, accurate, or well written article on biodiesel. It is rare to find articles on biodiesel that are not peppered with...

I just got off the phone with Classic VW in Orlando, FL, and I was told the PD will not be sold in the USA until '06! ***?? Who are these people pretending to be salesmen? I was speechless. I said "thank you" and hung up. Has VW released any official communication to their dealers about the...

This article has some great ways to illustrate the superiority of a diesel. The Q&A in this article has some great comebacks to those tough questions or comments our anti-diesel friends like to fling at us: http://www.fauk-customerservices.co.uk/newstool/ShowNewsStory.asp?NewsUniqueID=246

For the first time since I've owned my TDI (7 months now), Gas is more expensive than diesel at most stations! Wu-hoo! I paid $1.49/gal for the D, when everyone at the gas island was paying $1.52 for reg unleaded. Since I have owned my car less for than a year, I'm wondering if there are...

Hi all, I own a 2003 Golf GLS TDI with no engine mods, and I love the level of performance I get from my car. I recently drove a used 2001 NB TDI, and the experience was WAY different than my Golf. While driving the NB, much more engine noise made its way into the passenger compartment, the...
