[Vwdiesel] CR particulate filter

Fri Feb 18 06:02:59 PST 2011

I agree, in 04 I paid about 22K for my tdi wagon, tons better than any IDI motor 
and A2 chassis.  But, my 92 Jetta with 230K miles drives super nice and it has 
it's own feel, just like the 04 does.

I would not mind getting the new 05 sport wagen with TDI, but I have read that 
VW had to really cheap out on the interior, no radio upgrades, no blue tooth, 
USB, phone intigration, so I would be hoping for some improvements, as the price 
would not be the same, I would guess around 25K ?
When you got the TDI motor in the 04 Jetta Wagon that said that automatically 
upgraded the car to GLS interior, leather heated seats, nicer dash panels, 
leather shift boot....
I am not sure if that would still holds true about the automatic upgrade to GLS.
Also, the Jetta wagon body was produced at the Audi plant (not sure which one it 
was, makes the Audi wagens as well, I know the manufacturing plant code is in 
the VIN, just forget what position.) TDI PD motor says Poland.

When are they going to open the Chattanooga plant in TN.

I paid $20K for my Golf in 2001 with taxes/etc.  It was worth every cent.  It is 
better than my Rabbit diesel in every aspect.  It has twice the torque, doesn't 
smoke, starts every time, is fast, quiet, and gets nearly the same fuel 
economy.  Commuting 80 miles a day I get 45-47mpg in it.  That's at 70-75mph.

And the funny thing is, I can't wait until I can spend another $20K for another 
Golf TDI to replace this one.
