MY 2010 Sportwagen TDI

[hammersc]

Glad to know more about you DiezNutz. You are clearly a VW expert. My 2010 JSW TDI is my first VW (although my wife had a cabriolet when I was dating her years ago). BTW, in what state is BFEburg, and were you in the service (I was on subs).

JSWTDIFAN,

Are there more pictures of your car somewhere on this forum? I love your manual/graphite blue combo.

[chadwick]

good color choice!

 

[StaceyR]

Graphite Blue

good color choice!

Agreed...although that dark color would look even better contrasted by the Cornsilk beige interior. I hope your dealer offers free car washes like the one nearest me.

I'm torn between this and the easier-to-maintain White Gold. Looks vs practicallity...which will win out?

I agree - but my wife prefers the darker interior - she feels lighter interiors show dirt and imperfections more easily - so I compromised. Also, our children provide free car washes on weekends!

AAArrrrggghhhhh why oh why did I click on this thread . . .

LOVE the new nose cone, interior, and wheel controls (I wanted NAV last year when a 2009 came my way but alas, it did not have it).

must not go to dealer website . . . must not go to dealer website . . . must . . . resist . . .


LOL really what I need is a bigger wagon, can we get a TDI passat wagon up in here sometime this milennium please?!?

I understand the conflict, but I have to admit to not liking the White Gold at all. Personal thing, really, but the Silver, White Gold, White...Ick for me.

If only they still had the Laser Blue I'd be on that like white on rice, but sadly it has gone the way of the coelacanth.

Apparently my Broker has located the car for me and is now attempting to get a dealer to trade for it.

I'm playing a fun game of economic roulette though. I will be able to afford the car because of a recent settlement on my mother's death. That settlement is supposed to arrive in my account the second week of November. My current car (01 New Beetle) is having some engine problems (I think transmission) and has tags that expire Nov 6.

I'm hoping that all the stars will align so I can upgrade vehicle without going into hock

Picked her up last week. 2010 TDI. So far, according to the computer, she's averaging 48 mpg. I haven't figured it by hand yet since she's only on the second tank.

Beating a Dead horse here, but before I spend the money I thought I'd ask again: I want to purchase the Bentley manual and VAG; since the engine & Tranny are really a 2009 in my 2010 JSW I'm safe buying the current Bentley DVD (engine code: CBEA) and VAG (VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Interface) right?
Everything I've read on the forum indicates that the 2010 is a 2009 with a facelift. Also I should also ignore references to the MK5 VIN’s, since I’m pretty sure the 2010 VIN's follow a new format.

Have mercy on me oh lords of the TDI realm J

mcyleman,
I know that the VAG-COM HEX-USB+CAN will work on your 2010. I wanted to be sure as well so I wrote Ross-Tech about this very question. I wanted clairification because the "chassis codes" for the 2010 are not being listed on Ross-Tech's website. They did say VW just changed the VIN format and the HEX-USB+CAN or Micro-CAN will work on the 2010 JSW.

I'd wait on the Bentley...you can get clarification on any question you have on this site...torque specs, how to's, etc. Don't buy the 2009 Bentley now only to buy the 2010 on later on.

Just picked up our Candy White JSW yesterday from Rod East here in town. Back on the forum now after a hiatus....

Traded in our '05 manual and sold our '02 auto to get the '10 with DSG. (Splitting the tranny differences?) Trading in the '05 was like pulling teeth, but the dealer finally came through a stand-up negotiation. We did pay list price - including $1100 for the upgraded 17" Goal silver wheels that we did not need - but overall we are very pleased.

This car feels very special - much more like a higher-end automobile (Audi to be exact). Let's hope she's reliable.

Here's mine

Haven't seen alot of pics in blue with the portos.

 

[Grubendol]

Here we go. I love it so much! Havent found a thing I don't like about it yet.
I'm going to put a rack on top and tint the windows when I save up enough money. I might also install the fog lights.

Is that the black interior? It sure looks grey in the pics, but I know they aren't doing that now.

 

[StaceyR]

Graphite Blue & Portos...nice combo

Very nice, Jeff! Of course I'm biased as that was my original combo. Your exact car was on the lot in Irvine three weeks ago for MSRP but has since sold...of course!

Was that at Commonwealth? If it was, Derek offered me that car. I didn't want it because it had the ipod adapter.

No, this one showed up at Fladeboe in Irvine with the first shipment. Sure looked pretty, but I didn't want the pano roof or Titan black interior for doggie reasons.

This isn't JSW related, but looks like 6910sb has an airplane. I really am liking my JSW, problably one of the best cars I have owned (all seven days now), but I must say my passion is in the three dimensional sense.

2010 JSW red, and
2002 RV-8, also red of course

Haven't made that leap yet. I'm in a couple of shared ownership clubs. I like the RV line, very impressive airplanes.

I can't get enough of my new car.

 

[6910sb]

Here's some pics for those parents

I haven't come across too many pics of car seats installed in our beloved JSWs.

 

[Grubendol]

I just put the deposit down on mine today!!!

Should have it by this weekend. Blue Graphite, Pano S/R, DSG, Black Interior, Grey 17" Goal.

Can't flippin believe it! I've never owned a new car. Merry Christmas to me!

btw, mine will have the car seat too!

 

[6910sb]

^^^ Congrats, this is my first new car as well. You're going to love it, especially with the Goal wheels.

 

[Grubendol]

Supposed to get Delivery by Monday at the latest.

Still sorta freaking out over it. Your portos look gorgeous btw.

 

[dasBlinkenlight]

Y'all like dark cars, eh? I have to admit, they look good. (Actually, the black one in the brochure looks very good....) But gosh, I'd be baked alive in one of those things, especially with the black interior.

To each their own!

P.S. The kiddo recently graduated to a booster seat.

 

[Grubendol]

dasBlinken,

I actually prefer the cornsilk interior, but it's insanely difficult to find on the blue graphite. aaaaaaannd, with a 19 month old daughter, I was a little concerned about that light interior being trashed (we camp/do outdoors stuff alot too).

As for the dark exterior, I actually prefer blue or green, and the blue graphite is the only one available now (I really wanted the Laser Blue but that had to go and discontinue it).

2010 Jetta Sport Wagon

Ordered in July. Should have it by the end of October. First VW. First TDI. Looking forward to getting it. Great info on this site.Ordered Blue graphite/anthicite auto and sunroof.

Ready to trade?

I will be looking for a good used 2010 Blue JSW TDI in a couple of years, let me know when you are ready to trade....

My 00 Blue Jetta TDI has over 251,000 miles.....I hope yours does as well.

It has been to the dealer three times, the first free oil change, and two recall items. It is the best car I have ever owned.

That is an awesome testimonial. You should Yelp VW

Actually my broker found the car for me, and said if I could get it from a dealer direct for MSRP, then I should jump on it. So, she released the car she was holding for me and I started calling all the local dealers til I found one to work with me. Santa Monica came through for me. Did a trade at the port and it's being shipped to them today. I think I might be adding the fog lamps to it. Should know how much that will add to my deal in the next hour or so.

I'll be picking up sometime in the next 5 days.

Congrats to you too. What kind of wheels are you shopping for? Which color did you go with? Can't wait for that Pano Sunroof and those MPGs!

The VW Fog light kit For the Jetta Sportwagen is not available yet through VW, it will probably take them 6+ months to piece together a kit.......
You could probably get the parts to do it using 10 Golf parts will be very pricey......
