[Vwdiesel] Jetta Weight

[Shawn Wright]

For my '85 TD, the insurance papers list a net weight of 920 kg,
which is ~2025lbs (a bit low, I'd say). The GVWR is 1475Kg
(3245lbs), which is fully loaded, according to manual, with 150lbs
per seat + luggage, fuel, etc. So you're somewere in the middle at
around 2250 lbs, I'd say...
