#2653 of 3704 Re: 2009 Jetta tdi tax credit [etracey] by shrifty Dec 26, 2008 (3:40 pm)
Replying to: etracey (Dec 26, 2008 3:15 pm) If I'm not mistaken, the Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit form 8910 is the one you will need to fill out.   c Advanced lean burn technology vehicle. This is a vehicle with an internal combustion engine that incorporates direct injection, is designed to operate primarily using more air than is necessary for complete combustion of the fuel, and that meets certain additional requirements.   http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8910.pdf

Replying to: redvw (Dec 31, 2008 8:12 pm) ABSOLUTEY NOT!.... that is considerd the normal and standard way to get the VWs which the customer wants into their hands. The "swaping" is between the dealerships and the buyer should not need to bother with the details. Obviously, a dealership with a larger inventory is in a better position to dicker with other dealerships reguarding a 'swap'.   Besides, I do not play the dealership "game" of dickering on the price. I tell them up-front that I am busy and will not particapate in such games. Most dealerships, when informed of this, will accept any reasonable offer. (Most are happy to get 4% over their dealer-cost)   1st) I read thru the sales broschure and determined the vehicle, color, options...etc that I desired. 2nd) I telephoned the dealership and told them what I wanted and what I was willing to pay for it. 3rd) Delership called me back 10 minutes later and said they could have the car I wanted by Wednesday.   The 1st time I set foot on the dealers lot was to pick up my new VW. The salesman spent about 30 minutes explaining all the neto features right down to how to reprogram the radio if the battery power is lost. He also explained to NEVER leave the heated mirrors turned on lest they will burn out. (Did you know there is a "center" sunshade above the rearview mirror?)   BTW: I drive past 2 other VW dealerships to get to this one which is 1.5 hour drive from my house.

#2657 of 3704 iPod cable for 09 Nav Models by rv65 Jan 02, 2009 (4:05 pm)
If you're an iPod owner with a 2009 model with Nav you'll need 000 051 446 C. This is the special iPod cable for the Media-In port. You get full integration and it's a little pricey. The BMW cable costs over $350. 000 051 446 C can be obtained at your dealer or online. Shouldn't cost no more than $70 but people are paying around $50 to $55 for it.

Replying to: rv65 (Jan 02, 2009 4:05 pm) This cable does work with the iPhone as well. It also charges the iPod/iPhone while driving.

Replying to: rv65 (Jan 02, 2009 4:05 pm) The BMW USB/Aux port is $400 but the cable is included.
#2660 of 3704 MIL Light by paddler2 Jan 05, 2009 (9:35 am)
I just had my alternator replaced over the weekend. This morning, my car was hesitating as I accelerated and started belching some black smoke. Then my MIL light came on. Any ideas? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Jan 05, 2009 4:48 pm)

Replying to: paddler2 (Jan 05, 2009 9:35 am) It is a sure bet that the act of replacing the alternator caused this problem.
#2662 of 3704 TDI cold start/idle issue by 05TDI Jan 06, 2009 (10:03 am)
I have a early 05 Jetta TDI/w 5 speed auto. I have a little over 100K on it, and have never had any engine issues, until now. I changed the timing belt a few weeks ago using a tool kit from dieselgeek to lock the engine components in place. I turned the engine over by hand(wrench) after with no issues. Started and drove the car when I was done and no problems. It took a few days to have cold temps out, but as soon as it got cold and every time since, if I start it when it's cold it idles rough; low then high RPM, and the engine is unresponsive to the pedal until the idle returns to normal, usually a minute or two. Then it runs as normal until it sits in the cold again. I took it to a VW mechanic for trans flush and while he was connected to it he looked and found no codes of any sort. He suggested air in the fuel line as I had also changed the filter, but i have put 2K miles since and it hasn't improved any. The dealer changed what they call the injection pump just after I got the car new, and I have had no problem of any sort until I changed the timing belt, but I don't know how this could have caused this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Replies to this message: badvw7 (Jan 06, 2009 10:44 am) bpeebles (Jan 06, 2009 7:16 pm) siberia (Jan 07, 2009 4:54 am)
