Hi All. Got a 2014 Jetta TDI SW. Do I have to worry about DEF?
Thanks!

From my understanding, it is a completely redesigned engine.Welcome, hope you enjoy your new to you JSW
Since o.p. question is cleared I wont be hyjacking thread with aditional related question...
Is the ea288 a DPF modified CJxx (11-14 tdi engine)?
All 2015 VW TDIs use DEF, including the Jetta, Golf, and Golf Sportwagen.Only Passats and other heavier VWs use DEF.
Not really. Many consider the EA288 engine in the '15s to be better than the CJAA in the '10-14 cars, correcting several issues that engine has, including more common (although still not that common) HPFP failure and intercooler icing. And using DEF gives VW more flexibility in tuning the car for best performance and economy.Thanks guys. I guess I dodged a bullet there
