VW has been busy busy busy decontenting the Jetta since 2006. It's already a stripped down version of it's former self. The 2009's and 10's are the last of the Mark 5 line and I don't think they really gave a hoot. The Jetta is in the same bag as the Corolla, Mazda, Fiesta, Versa, Cavalier, and the list goes on...so getting out of that crowd is a must if VW is ever going ... Read More...

I am quickly approaching the 40K service, currently around 38K. I think at my dealership I saw the number closer to $300, but I'll find out when I pay the bill. If I'm not mistaken, the transmission fluid is every 40K on this car? The 40K service seems to be one of the bigger services, obviously the timing belt is going to be more expensive when that time comes. Read More...

Bought a (new) '09 Jetta TDI

Written by: north52 on Nov 15, 2009 07:42 AM

Hi folks, just picked up a 2009 Jetta TDI Highline DSG. Our model had all available options: ESP,Rear Airbag, Sirius and Bluetooth. This model is brand new with 53km (32mi) on the odometer. I was originally going to wait for Honda to release their diesel - last year they announced that the Acura TSX (European Accord) would be available with Honda's 'clean diesel'. ... Read More...

I also heard (from VW) that manual transmission (pads on clutch that normally wear out after certain time) is designed for 1 million + applications therefore you may not have to change clutch pads as long as you own the car; i.e. they will last beyond all other moving components. I remember changing pads on manual clutch way back, when I lived in Europe. Read More...

I drove both '09 DSG and 6-speed manual cars. While I see the pros/cons of both I would have to buy the manual simply because of the maintenance on the DSG. The first service is required at 40k miles (conveniently beyond the "free" maint) and it's quite expensive (I've seen quotes from $300-$500+ at dealers). I also have to wonder how long that DSG will last and what ... Read More...

I have a 6-speed manual on my 09 Jetta SportWagon and I love it. I took a test with DSG but I liked the manual better. You get a slightly better mileage with manual. But if you have to commute in a stop and go traffic every day, then DSG would be my choice. It's a matter of personal preference. Read More...

Are you certain it is the "tiptronic" and not the "DSG" xmission? I understand that the DSG xmission can achive nearly perfect matchup to all driving conditions. It is the only auto xmission in the world that can compare to a well-shifted manual. In other words, the DSG is the only "automatic" I would consider with a TDI. Why consider a TDI if not for the MPG...and ... Read More...

Looking into trading in Audi for VW 2009 or 2010 Jetta Sport TDI Wagon......Anyone have any experience with the Triptronic (Automatic) transmission VERSUS manual transmission. I read in a forum on Motortrend that the torque of the TDI motor was to hard on the automatic transmission- but that wasn't from an actual 'owner' just a tester...Also because I have ... Read More...
