Kris,
I just purchased a 2009 Jetta TDI DSG and did opt for the dealer offered 84 mo / 75k mi warranty for about $1250 with $0/$100 deductible. I checked online prior to making this deal and could not beat it online... I know that you can get 84 mo / 100k mi as well for very little more... Good luck and post your deal when you buy!

Hey,
Let us know what you think of Diesel Power Service. Is it worth the price / trouble?

In my opinion, extra warranty is an overkill. Generally speaking it is just plain additional profit at F&I at any dealership. I would never recommend to anyone to opt for that coverage no matter how good it may sound!

By the way, you can always cancel the extended warranty and get a full refund (within 30 to 60 days, depending on the dealership).

I got an 84/60/100 for $1,000. I don't put a lot of miles on a year. If nothing else it gives me peace of mind for the next 7 years.

Another change from 09 to 2010 model is timing belt to timing "chain" on 2010 TDI 2.0 Jetta, as well as on new 2010 Golf.

The question of belts or chains has been the subject of some ongoing discussions here, but I haven't heard any definitive word, and it is usually said that the 2010 TDI will still have a belt. Do you have a good authority for the chain information?

If you are in a state that can get insurance with GEICO, they offer for $15 every 6 months mechanical repairs with a $250.00 deductable for all car repairs for 7 years which works out to $210.00.

..."There will always be people on either side of the bell curve, but I think you are the exception on the positive side, not the rule, from what I'm reading. Still no complaints about EPA stats on the TDI. I feel confident I could also best the EPA scores."..
EPA 29/40 mpg.
The 09 Jetta TDI, DSG has 7.5k miles and in the spirit of the break in mode, I did a run this morning to the University of California Davis (and pm return) 200 miles R/T . On the way up, I ran into commute stop and go situations ( various area's familar to highway 680/80 corridor commuters, bumper to bumper 20 min delay). Even did my OCD exercise and used the sequential shifting pattern for some pretty zippy acceleration and deceleration (to vary the revs, loading and put the turbo on boost) . Got some cheap diesel (around here anyway 2.73) on the return trip and the thing posted app 42 mpg (42.2) . Also had the A/C on with fan set at #1 and or #2 (it was a cool 94 degrees)
