King Arthur, I have commuted bostonorlando many times with TDI, and bostoncalifornia twice. Most recently with 06 jetta TDI. The seats are good for long commutes, but there are cars with better seats, probably all for significantly more $. Probably the VW/optional package-2/lumbar seats better for such, however those are optioned in the current models (the ... Read More...

All, I have a LONG commute (126 miles roundtrip per day.. reverse commute in Chicago on 355/I80/I65S from Naperville to Merrillville, IN takes an 1hr 5 mins each way per day). I have tried out a number of cars and while I enjoy the TDI's feel and great gas mileage will the seats be comfortable enough and will it be reliable enough to handle nearly 30,000 miles per year ...

2006-2009 Jetta recall

Written by: shrifty on Jun 25, 2009 01:29 PM

Would anyone happen to know if this applies to the TDI? I am going in for my 20,000 service this weekend and will ask when I am there. I see that it mentions a 2.0L TFSI engine with DSG, but I am clueless as to what a TFSI engine is.

Before I purchased 6 sped manual (2009 VW Jetta Tdi) I have tested them both but I decided to go for a manual - you get more out of the engine output and a better mileage, if you shift right - and it's more "fun to drive".... I still have an issue with moon-roof. Even with sun shade retracted it generates so much heat inside the vehicle in summer, when you have like 12 hours ... Read More...

Written by: 2008__jetta on Jun 23, 2009 09:29 PM

NO! I had the same problem with my '08 Jetta. I took it in again to have the brakes checked for squealing. They told me they had to warm up by wearing off a coating. Today I had to replace the pads and rotors. I have in writing that the brakes were fine on 5/12/09. Take them to someone else to check them. I have 14,000 miles on my car and it's less than a year old. Internet research ... Read More...

Re: Extended Warranty Price & Cost info for Jetta 2009 TDI? [karthur1]

Written by: ndmike88 on Jun 23, 2009 05:29 PM

With the number of miles you put on a year I'm not sure if VW has ANY extended plan that would suit your needs. For the record I bought an 84/60 with a $100 deductible for $1,000. Remember those plans are mostly profit for the dealer, so you have lots of room to try and get it deeply discounted. Read More...

Extended Warranty Price & Cost info for Jetta 2009 TDI?

Written by: karthur1 on Jun 23, 2009 04:19 PM

I am looking to purchase a Jetta 2009 TDI and am trying to figure out what I should pay and which warranty I should buy for it. I will put nearly 30,000 miles per year on it so the standard warranty will blow out in a matter of a 1.25 years. I need this car to at least last me 100,000 to 160,000 miles (to cover the 5 year financing). Best warranty and cost/price from VW? Can't ... Read More...
