#51 of 12742 5K Service by fischda Sep 12, 2000 (1:31 pm)
I've always been a 3K oil changing man, but when I ask a trustworthy service manager at VW, he said it's really not necessary, however with the 1.8T you don't want to let it go past 5K. I will use Mobile 1 synthetic from here on out. It's proven to contribute to an engine's long life if you use it in the beginning while an engine's still in its infancy. I'm usually pretty good on maintaining cars, but I do get lax on tire care. Thanks for your suggestions - I will rotate and align.

Thanks for the car care links. This helps a lot.
#53 of 12742 Synthetic Oil by eclipsegs Sep 13, 2000 (12:54 pm)
The viscosity level of synthetic is best for engines in use of extreme cold weather. I'll be changing my oil in a month.
#54 of 12742 Jetta 1.8T & Audi A4 by bispan Sep 13, 2000 (4:10 pm)
Can anybody please explain about the performance of Jetta GLS 1.8T ( turbocharge ) ? What difference a turbocharged engine makes ? Apart from the price difference, how does Audi A4 compare to a high end Jetta ( GLS or GLX )

Goto the Audi vs. Jetta forum

Go to VW's web site (http://www.vw.com) and find out all the facts for yourself. Go to the menu at the top and choose "Jetta", then "build/price in the US" from the menu on the next screen.
#57 of 12742 diesel w/leather by delta5 Sep 14, 2000 (3:28 pm)
Bassman..your dealer need to be 'educated'. I test drove a 2001 Jetta TDI/5 speed with leather a couple of weeks ago. I feel sure the leather would be available with the automatic also. Did you notice if the steering wheel had the audio/cruise controls in the spokes? By the way, I am thoroughly impressed with the TDI.The dealers I've spoken to have mentioned 3% over dealer invoice. Let me know if you strike a deal..I live in the Atlanta area.......
#58 of 12742 TDI by bassman11 Sep 14, 2000 (5:06 pm)
Thanks for the respones about the TDI. I have already been to the web site and built my own TDI. The dealership says that the TDI's with automatic and/or leather are rare and hard to get. I did look for the steering wheel audio/cruise controls and none of the 2001 jettas had them. I would wait for them as well if they are a mid-year addition. Hopefully someone will have some information about the addition

Try vwvortex.com. Many more VW owners; in fact, nothing but VW and Audi owners. From what I read the TDI owners like them a lot. I like to relate this story: I was in Ireland 5 years ago and we borrowed a Passat. Drove it all day and before returning it we filled it up with gas....................................................too bad it was a diesel......what I am trying to say is that it drove just like a gas engine car. No smoke, no smell, plenty of pickup.
#60 of 12742 Everyone loves them...do you want mine??? by jkinipella Sep 15, 2000 (2:58 am)
Does anyone know someone in the Chicago area that would like to buy my 2000 Jetta GLS VR6...fully loaded...perfect...I bought it a few months ago and have not had any serious problems...I find that it is just not the car for me. I see that I am a minority in this opinion which is good for other Jetta owners...it is a nice car.
