Hey tothemax nice to hear from a former Albertan. And I will agree it sure is nice over in Kananaskis.
I was over the Rock pile over by Powel river this summer for a couple weeks and that is pretty easy to get used to.
Hope to go back 2013. :D

I'm Phil in Calgary,

I've been driving VWs for 26 years (still have my first one :D), but the '12 Wagon is my first diesel VW. I love it.

Hello Gentlemen,

My name is Matt Norton and I just moved back to Lethbridge after having been away for almost six years - it's great to be back!

I have a 2000 Jetta GLS TDI with .216 injectors and a 1.5 Malone tune. I have lots of experience with the Flashzilla (the uploader for Mark's tunes) and VCDS. More recently I'm experimenting with different tunes, different lengths on the actuator arm and a BoostValve to keep it all in check.

I'm in Edmonton once a month starting in the spring.

Merry Christmas folks!
Matt

2002 TDI (ALH) with 513,000 km. First Owner and very happy... No Problems, never left us stranded on the Highway. Average useage is about between under 4 ltr. and 5 ltr. Normal longdistance travel: 4.1/100
Nice to see so many TDI owners from AB. I lived in AB for 25 years and made Hans at a Dealership in Edmonton pretty happy. Friends and I bought around 50 cars from him over the years. Moved to BC, because my TDI has no Blockheater.....
268.000 km on the meter and will keep this one, as long as I can shift......

Rene here,

2011 Jetta TDI - sitting around 71,000k and loving every tank full :).

Oh yeah - Strathmore, AB
Hey there Rene. I'm up north of Calgary. Have you had any issues with your car yet? Did you buy it new or used? Have you been tracking your mpg? Any mods yet?

Hi Matt. I also have a 2000 gls and am thinking about injectors and the 1.5 Malone tune. I would be interested in hearing the pros and cons from your experimenting.
