Replying to: bvdj84 (May 28, 2009 11:43 am) The 2009 TDI is  140 hp and 236 # ft of torque. The EPAs are 30/41/34 and29/40/33 mpg. The 2009 2.0T (turbo) is 200 hp and 207# ft of torque. So yes app 14% more torque than the 2.0 T. The EPA's are 22/29/25 mpg. I also believe PUG is required.

Replying to: m6user (May 28, 2009 12:13 pm) Indeed I agree and I didn't nor did I police the thread. ..."Sometimes it can be depending on how you say it. "... Well that might be an explanation why the public is so fond of well told.... lies.  see msg #7673 in "Diesel In The News " for the well debated "but RUG per gal is almost always cheape than D2" one. |

Replying to: bvdj84 (May 29, 2009 4:54 am) It was not too long ago (118,000 miles) I was debating the pluses and minuses about paying a 246. premium (over a 1.8 T gasser). Of course the 2009 app 1,000 premium was not a welcomed addition. However the IRS (/VW) has sweetened the deal with the $1,300 clean diesel tax CREDIT. So really it is app minus - 200 cheaper . Also the mpg is 25 combined vs 33 combined. In a highway commute mode, three drivers get a range of 39-45. Since it is in an "initial" break in stage till at least 10,000 miles (first oil change) I am more concerned with good/correct break in than good mpg. So a recent 2300 mile R/T with 3 people and trunk packed to the gills, in the herky jerky break in style yielded an over all 43.5 mpg. While it is a DSG, I would have been just as happy with a 6 speed manual. Well, might have been happier with a manual ,as it will probably be cheaper to fix and last longer (old 2003 clutch life expectancy of 400,000 miles)
