LAC: Passat V6 TDI coming to the US!

[David]

I think your buddy got some bad info. The info that has been confirmed by VWoA and published on VWVortex and ClubB5 is that the 04 Passat will be avvailable with a 2.0 Pd TDI developing 135 HP and 247 lb ft of torque. It will only be available with an automatic trannie. They won't be bringing many of them into the USA, so expect them to sell fast and not at a great discount.

Hello All!
I was just talking with a friend in sales at the local VW/Audi dealer.  I
was asking about TDIs as I am considering purchasing one in the coming
months.
Anyway, he mentioned that the 04 Passat arriving later this fall will be
coming with a V6 TDI with 135hp. I asked if it was the 2.5L, he said they
haven't been given all the briefs yet.
Anyway, I know there are always people kicking around the idea of a TDI swap
out there and now it looks like we will be getting a good one!  No mention
of any Audi TDIs...sorry!
Merry Motoring!
