[Vwdiesel] CR particulate filter

[James Hansen]

Interestingly enough the new urea cat 2011 Jetta is supposed to do
65mpg.(Canada- imperial gallons) just barely beating the 97 passat...

How big a fine are you looking for CG ? ? ? ?
 
Just be like me and Drive a 1981 Dasher 1.6 N/A diesel.
I figure my car is worth 2000 instead of the 20,000 plus for a new VW diesel
that can't come near the 50mpg that mine gets. If I decide I have to run
with the big boys at 70 to 75 it will cut my mileage to around 47mpg but in
general driving it is 50+mpg. 18,000 dollars is a lot to pay a 20+ percent
drop in mileage.

I wonder if non-particulate filter exhaust manifolds (from early TDIs) would
fit the new TDI's to by-pass / remove that whole system?
