Just picked it up today in Tuscaloosa. It's black on black. I'm lovin it so far.

could be covered if under the 3yr, 36K mile warranty. You'll still have to fight tooth and nails for it if you even get it. Otherwise you'll have to pitch in the extra $1,500-$2,000 for the platnium warranty.Am I the only new Jetta owner that is freaking out about all these posts about HPFP failures costing owners $7K in repairs that AREN'T covered by the warranty? I love my new Jetta, but that kind of repair bill would break me. I would have to just turn the car over to the bank and default on the loan.
Whatever you do don't put a drop of RUG in there. Also, a good mantra to go by is drive more, worry less. If it helps ease your mind, try to use B5 or an additive or both.Am I the only new Jetta owner that is freaking out about all these posts about HPFP failures costing owners $7K in repairs that AREN'T covered by the warranty?

congrats! it gets better as you go. I just had my best tank yet, and it was 39.5 which I am thrilled (others will not be) but I live just north of the Pocono's in PA so anywhere I am traveling is always mountain driving.Got 37 mpg's the last few fill ups.
you know, it kinda bugs me when you guys post up mpg but don't state the percentage that's highway. i'm blaming anyone, i think fuelly should post that on your sigs too. say a person getting 37mpg and they're thrilled about it, but it's 90% city. There's another person getting 39mpg, and they think they're doing ok, but they're 50/50, they need to understand they're doing something wrong instead of thinking "i'm doing ok if others are doing 37mpg". I do noticed some folks getting 47-49mpg, but they're 90% highway.congrats! it gets better as you go.

I have also noticed better mpg's with different diesel stations. I have eliminated the "cheaper diesel stations" from my list due to low mpg
It happened to me - twice! But I was lucky because my dealership took care of me. No hassles - no warfare - they just did their best to fix the car and when that failed, we were in lemon law territory and they just swapped me into a brand new car without me having to drag in a lawyer. So HPFP failures are scary - no one wants one - but the real issue is how your dealership chooses to handle it. They may be jerks about it or they may treat you right. No point in worrying about it. Cross your bridges when you get to them and enjoy your car. The deck is stacked in your favor (unless of course you put gas in your tank).Am I the only new Jetta owner that is freaking out about all these posts about HPFP failures costing owners $7K in repairs that AREN'T covered by the warranty?

Sorry about that... That tank was about 65% city.you know, it kinda bugs me when you guys post up mpg but don't state the percentage that's highway. i'm blaming anyone, i think fuelly should post that on your sigs too. say a person getting 37mpg and they're thrilled about it, but it's 90% city.

just a personal rant...
not a problem man...thanks for the info. i think we all on here need to state our % city driving percentage. it's just an extra 7 letters but makes a big difference to the reader. good specs on that mpg.Sorry about that... That tank was about 65% city.
Nope. They were really good quality too to only be $4.Thanks ... And lastly... No bulb out light on the dash?
why 4 man?Great. I ordered 4 last night. $15 total shipped.
