Why not the 1.4T instead?
Been a few years.
Was onto other cars and have recently bought a 19 Jetta 1.4T SEL 6 speed...in usa or Execline in Canuck land.
Simple premise. Amazing economy and amazing torque and power. No DPF and no fuel filters and NO expensive diesel fuel. Regular gas! I used to get 5.0 litres per 100 Kms in my old TDIs and now I get 4.8 litres on way to Montreal.
My question is simple. Is the diesel not truly dead now that VW has worked around the basis for buying it? My numbers are highway and dead accurate. Pump to pump and not on the sometimes inaccurate dash computer.
Cheapest fuel in Canada and usa is plain old regular...
Blown away by this powertrain...durability? Who knows....
Comments?
Expensive 508/509 spec oil though only avail at dealer here. What a VW control joke that is!! When out of warranty I will be going to Mobil 1 0-20 or 5-20 unless someone can tell me my engine will blow up with Mobil 1.
