I have a 1999 VW Jetta TDI that is sick. It will only rev up to about 2000 - 2100 RPM. When it reaches this rpm the black smoke rolls out of it (mosquito killer). Anyone have any suggestions for this car, it only has 248,000 mi. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Hickey |

In a memo sent to dealers this week, executive vice president Adrian Hallmark told dealerships that the Jetta TDI sedan and wagon would not be introduced in April. The 50-state diesel by Volkswagen has been delayed from spring to late summer of 2008. Reason for the delay? Hallmark said that the delay is due to “a technical issue that was found during the later stages of durability testing.” The Volkswagen Jetta Clean Diesel TDI will be powered by a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 140 horsepower with 235 lb-ft of torque. Volkswagen is saying that the new engine’s fuel economy and NVH will be significantly improved over the former 1.9-liter diesel engine. http://www.egmcartech.com/2007/11/09/vw-jetta-tdi-delayed-until-summer-of-08/ |

In Europe there has been a problem, (in 2006 ?), with the twin-mass flywheel supplied by one of the two possible suppliers. Worst-case scenario was, apparently, an engine fire but the problem is said to have given plenty of warning of impending doom.  However, one would expect that to have been solved and not be the cause of the USA launch delay. Odd. We've had the 2.0 TDi 140bhp motor here since late 2004, so it's hardly new. There are still folk who prefer the 1.9TDi 130bhp unit, though................but there again, everyone loves something.

Replying to: sebring95 (Nov 21, 2007 7:02 am) 147 kW (200hp)  4400 rpm, 400 Nm 2500 to 3000 The "applications" for that engine is "VW Golf, VW Touran, VW Jetta" With that kind of torque, it would be a challange to just start off in 1st gear without spinning the tires. Wooo Hoooo!!! Bring it on! Here is the ref. for the specs. ==> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_engines#140-200hp_2.0_TDI |

Replying to: bpeebles (Nov 23, 2007 7:29 pm)  In short, it is a good listing but should not be taken as definitive. |
