A few points. We have a 02 Jetta WGN TDI and 05 Passat WGN TDI. It took two years to make up the extra 500 or 1000 for the diesel option. The funny thing is people pay more for a V6 or V8 or R32 and they get worse mileage. The price of diesel is now the same as regular unleaded. I checked the resale of my Passat TDI and it was 24500. We bought it new for 28500. It is selling for 4000 more than the 1.8T or v6 similarly equipped wagon. Why? There were not a lot sold from 2004 to 2005 and VW doesnt bring them into the US now. Smoke you later |

Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 27, 2007 11:09 am) Yep...closed it today. Ink is still wet on the paperwork. I go back and pick it up later today. I'm pretty excited about it; I've been looking at them for a while.

Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 27, 2007 11:15 am) Thanks! It has the 6-speed DSG/auto transmission, which are somewhat unique. The "Special Edition" comes more or less fully loaded, with the following noteable exceptions: - No leather seats (rather, a vinyl-like material... but still has heated driver and passenger seats) - No power seats - No navigation system (I didn't really care about those features anyway.) ... just about everything else, though. (power sunroof, Sirius satellite radio, telescoping steering wheel... with audio controls, multi-function display) |

I just recently purchased an '04 Jetta TDI, and am wondering does anyone have a cold air delivery system for this model? K&N has a replacement air filter, But all cold air apps stop at '03 What is the diff. in the 2 engines? I'm looking to maximize perfomance and efficiency if that is possible. I'm not new to diesels(I've owned a few), only these.,rodekill
