#18 of 37 iPod synching problem with 09 Jetta by johnrbrooks Mar 03, 2009 (3:52 pm)
I just got a new 09 Jetta with the iPod port in the center armrest. According to the owners manual the car is compatible with the iPod 60GB and iPod 160GB (both version "6.0"), but I have a new iPod 120GB which is a version "6.5". Other iPods will work in this car but it doesn't recognize mine. I'm trying through VW and the dealer to find a VW software upgrade. Help!
#19 of 37 2008 2.5 jetta auto trans hesitation by mcdole Mar 23, 2009 (1:57 pm)
I have 9500 miles on it and have had 5 incidents of hesitation pulling out in a hurry. Have gas pedal pushed down but nothing happens for a second or two. Anyone else experience this problem? I'm taking to dealer next week and I'm sure they never heard of any VW doing that!!! Replies to this message: alexinstl (Oct 09, 2009 12:58 pm) jeffyscott (Oct 09, 2009 5:33 pm)
#20 of 37 Non Linear Accelleration from Stop 2009 Jetta Auto by doug_mc May 17, 2009 (5:23 pm)
We test drove a 2009 Jetta S with the 5 Cyl & Auto. Acceleration from stop was non linear. Is that normal? By non-linear I mean that the ability to make a smooth constant acceleration from stop was not possible. The car moved forward but seemed to have an elastic band holing it back in 1st gear. It rapidly switched to 2nd gear and then there was some acceleration. Is that normal for this car?   What do owners experience?

Replying to: doug_mc (May 17, 2009 5:23 pm) I bought an '09 Jetta S w/5 Cyl & Auto a few weeks ago and I have the same acceleration issue. I just assumed it was normal for this car. It is kind of weird to get used to actually. My wife's 2009 CR-V seems to have much more get-up-and-go than this Jetta. Once you get up to speed it rides very nicely, but initial acceleration from an idle is exactly how you described it.   I also am having a loud squeal when I brake and I was told "the brakes on a vw are vented rotors, no squeak or rust prevention can be used on them or it wont vent the heat of the brakes properly. The noise you hear is surface rust being removed from the rotor."   I wonder if other people have had this issue and if this is a legit explanation.

Replying to: dvsgelatin (May 19, 2009 7:43 am) I have my 09 Jetta SE for almost 6 months now, at first 3 months I did notice the acceleration difference comparing to my 2001 Civic. I guess it just took time to get used to. What I have noticed recently is the clicking noise behind the steering wheel in low speed at first couple minutes when you turn on the car. I'm wondering if others had such experience. Since it randomly occurs, the dealer has no idea what the cause is. Replies to this message: alexinstl (Oct 09, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: dvsgelatin (May 19, 2009 7:43 am) We have the 5 cyl auto in a 2005. I would say initial acceleration is the opposite of what you describe...it gets going from a stop very quickly. It is my wife's car and I have to be careful to use an initial light touch on the gas pedal when I do drive it in order to avoid getting a sqeak from the tires, my wife has no problem as she is used to it.
#24 of 37 2010 Jetta SportWagen by rv65 May 24, 2009 (3:47 pm)
http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-volkswagen-golf-estate-same-car.html   This is pretty much what the new 2010 Jetta will look like. It will have the Golf VI fron end, new white MFD display, Golf VI steering wheel and finally the Golf VI dashboard.
#26 of 37 2009 Jetta SE by intelman Jun 02, 2009 (5:14 pm)
I have a 2009 with 11,300 miles. Only had one problem which is the FR door was not aligned right in the frame and made it hard to close the door. 1st gear acceleration is very brisk in automatic mode, I suspect due to a very low gear ratio. I average around 27 mpg with some freeway driving and have gotten as high as 31 mpg . The car is very fun to drive and acceleration is very good around 4000 rpm's. The trunk is huge which is a major plus. I would like to keep this car after 39 months are over as long as no problems crop up.
