#1 of 2467 Volkswagen diesel by sueobi Jan 19, 2002 (3:20 pm)
Does anyone have any advice on buying a Volkswagen Station Wagon diesel?

They are making one? I didn't think they were...

You bet VW is making the Jetta TDI Wagon. It is available in the US only right now so that is making some of the Canadians very angry. I have some regret that I purchased before the Jetta Wagon was available, but I really enjoy my TDI even though it isn't the wagon. The Jetta TDI Wagon is made in Germany as is all of the Jetta Wagon versions, this seems to be important to some but I have seen no evidence that shows better assembly quality for the Germany vs. Mexico vs. Brazil debate. The first TDI Jetta Wagons arrived in my area in November of 2001. They are sure scarce at the dealers, the rarest of all current VW's, Eurovans are even easier to obtain.

I bought my 2002 1.8T Jetta right when around the time the turbo wagon came out. I would have gotten one of those (more room in the cargo area and a rear wiper too), but I didn't.   However, I LOVE my 1.8T Tiptronic sedan. It has 7200 miles since bought new (at 119 miles) on 11/3/01.

Hi Vocus... Is the new 1.8T still snappy with Tiptronic? I'm looking for my 2nd VW and am torn between the TDI Beetle (600 miles on a tank!) or a 1.8T GTI (have always wanted a GTI).   The GTI will cost a little more, handle better and of course be quicker, but the TDI folks sure rave about their cars.

I was torn between the 1.8T and the TDI (both automatic) as well. I drove both at the dealer. When I hit the gas in that 1.8T, I was hooked! It does use a little more gas, but I didn't care. It's alot of fun to drive. And on a windy road, it's fun to use the Tiptronic feature to shift the car coming out of a corner. Nothing like hitting 6700 rpm coming out of a corner for a rush that literally pushes you back in your seat.

My Jetta Station Wagon w/ TDI is due in the States approx mid-March. Any feedback? For example, anything special I should know about driving the TDI? This is what I've been told / read:   1) Definitely use the fuel additive below freezing. 2) Keep the RPM's low (don't rev it up). 3) There is some kind of 'check' light for the glow plug that I have to make sure lights before starting. 4) The fuel filter has a water separator on it that needs to be serviced regularly. 5) Use Mobil 1 / equal synthetic in it. 6) Not too sure about chips, but I understand you can increase MPG / HP by having one installed, although the warranty may be affected. (anyone know specifics about this?).   That's all I can think about right now. Any comments appreciated. Motorweek gave the diesels a good recommendation. What's the best mileage on a TDI motor w/o a rebuild (anyone know)?   Thanks! Replies to this message: hawg (Nov 02, 2004 12:22 pm) dfrwt (May 21, 2006 9:43 pm)
#10 of 2467 fuel additive by twig93 Feb 02, 2002 (11:11 am)
I've had my Jetta TDI for almost 2 years now. I live in PA. There is NO need for the fuel additive for cold temps. As long as your station carries winterized diesel fuel, your car should always start. The TDI is not like diesels of the past.
