#3097 of 3713 Re: Extended Warranty Price & Cost info for Jetta 2009 TDI? [bradnjess] by jogousa Jun 30, 2009 (1:50 am)
Replying to: bradnjess (Jun 29, 2009 8:32 pm) 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! More at this link: http://www.consumerautomotiveresearch.com/index.htm

Replying to: bradnjess (Jun 29, 2009 8:32 pm) By the way, you can always cancel the extended warranty and get a full refund (within 30 to 60 days, depending on the dealership).

Replying to: goldgary1 (Jun 30, 2009 8:36 am) 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? Replies to this message: goldgary1 (Jul 01, 2009 4:40 am)

Replying to: bradnjess (Jun 29, 2009 8:32 pm) 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.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 29, 2009 7:02 am) ..."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)

Replying to: jogousa (Jun 27, 2009 12:41 pm) In Southern California cars automatically come with dark windows - dealers do not have to "tint" them. Cars in Southern California come with dark glass windows from the dealer and from the manufacturer (as long as cars are equipped with A/C ). Those, that do not have A/C come with clear untinted glass.   Not correct. All VW Jetta sold in U.S. have tinted glass, and all have the save degree of tint. No difference in the glass of Jetta's sold in Iowa or San Diego.   AC or no AC, the glass is tinted.   Southern CA cars do not automatically come with darker tinted windows from the manufacturer. It is not even an option to obtain different tinted glass from the manufacturer.   If the tint is darker, it is AFTERMARKET.
