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

Max torque comes on at 1,750 and maxs out 2,500 rpms. Sure you can rev it out to redline 5,100 rpms. Much over 3,500 rpms and you really are just in the italian tune mode (no real effect) Keep it closer to, or slightly above 2,500 and the turbo is on boost. This thing in the correct gear will run all day/night xxx digit speeds and be happy as a clam. 09 oil consumption is still unknown (for me). The 03 TDI however consumes .25 to .5 qt in app 20,000 to 25,000 miles.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 01, 2009 7:10 am) 4,500 rpms (?) (no disrepect intended or implied I own a whinny Honda and guess how I drive it?..... and it gets 38-42 mpg in daily commuting !!?? Predictably they are usually dissapointed.  Again off topic but the real secret to best mpg in the Civic is again to drive the torque. (aka with the 4500/6100 rpms ratio or 75% in mind.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 01, 2009 7:17 am) Also I think it's kind of risky to rev a little diesel right up to redline all the time. We are talking about very high compression engines, here, and I do worry about the ability of the cylinder head itself and the head bolts and gasket to take all that day after day (comment is not specific to VW).

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 01, 2009 7:28 am) 6,100 rpms and 110 # ft of torque 4500 rpms, 36-42 mpg. Off the charts in comparison is the 03 TDI 90 hp/155# ft 2,950#'s or 435 #'s more while getting 48-52 mpg during the same point a to b commute. In addition, there are almost no comparisons any altitude (practically 2,000 to 8,000 ft). I guess one day I need to go back up to Pikes Peak (14,100 ft) |

Here is something a little depressing by J.D. Powers. Instead of the initial quality study, it's the long term study of 3 year old vehicles. In one report VW is 36 of 37 manufacturers and then the Jetta was 17 out of 18 vehicles in the compact class. Manufacturer Rank Compact Cars Ranking |
