Those 328d's are sweet! I needed a wagon for cargo and xdrive for snow. I know I could have gotten a 328d wagon. But an X5 diesel appeared on a CPO lot and it just followed me home! I put 15k on it since labor day. The 3 liter biturbo get between 22 and 30 mpg, Fuelly pegs it a 26.6 mpg...

Hey, Saw a purdy 09 Salsa Red JSW behind 1700 Market today.

I can see where this is going.......:eek:

Thanks for the answer Oilhammer...... I guess what it's telling me is " be gentle .... I'm cold! " ;) It's pretty loud and ringing on that first shift expecially with the window open. After a warm up it's quiet again.

Hey guys, I don't think I have a problem. I just looking for information here. Now that the weather has a touch of fall in the air. When I start my 09 JSW there is a "rattle" in the engine. ( still not broken in ) This disappears as the engine gets some heat. This does not sound like a...

Or "Will America wise up and smell the diesel?" :eek:

A newsweek piece on "Will Americans Buy Diesels" http://www.newsweek.com/id/216045 "... a Volkswagen spokesman, says sales of the TDI Jetta were 20 percent above the company's expectations."

Man that Honda diesel is so done.... like yesterday's maki! No diesel in North America for Honda... just me too hybirds. They can't get to do 50 state emissions.

A tow truck and dolly and your car is gone! Imobilizer or not.

Salsa red ....... Very Nice!!!:D

I'll look into the the FrostHeater. Got to find a trusted mechanic in my area. My dad used to say "diesels were good whey they warmed up" His meaning that when diesels warm up they have a chance to boil off of any condensation that accumulated in the crankcase overnight. I don't know how this...

+1 True, but it's harder to read the paper in the car! :rolleyes:

Ok doc....That sounds reasonable. Maybe I'll just drive it to a train station that further away so that it will warm up in the winter.:)

+1:D very kewl!

I wanted to show off my diesel ... so I had some vinyl signs made up. What do you guys think? :D

yup, I'm looking at the MFD console for the mileage. Most days my commute is short 15 mins ( anyone know where to get a winter cover for a MKV jetta? ) with some 3 hour runs twice a week. I just got it two weeks ago and it felt tighter than a crab's a$$. With 500 miles it's loosening up (...

If it went swimming in salt water, then try this.... disassemble the key, Soak it in distilled water rinse and soak again. This is to get the salt off it. Then let it dry disassembled. Change the battery and try it. There are no guarentees if it was doused with salt water. If it was in...

Hang in there Goldie! I got the same message from my mechanics too.:rolleyes: But I jumped in too and got a 09 JSW. I love it so far!:D In any case if you find a VW guru in the area let me know.
