Nothing major - exhaust gate replaced at 32000 miles.
Faulty sensor in coolant overflow tank - replaced.
The TDI is the best choice for today's high gas prices. Hybrid's don't match up to the cost of ownership - they are a true waste of money. Plus, they are small, cramped, have no performance, and are expensive.
My TDI Wagon can carry my wife and I, plus the dog, and all other "goodies" AND tow a Sea Doo on a trailer (1000 lbs). I attached a tow mount and wire harness- did it myself in about 2 hours. The torque is more than enough to yank the PWC from the water. I get chuckles from people on the boat ramp - until they see what the wagon can do!!!
You cannot beat the fuel mileage on VW TDI's!!! I average 39-41 city and 44-47 highway. During the summer months (Texas), this drops to about 33 city and 39 highway - gotta run that A/C.
Diesel is still cheaper than 87 octane gas - and will always be.
Well, so much for timeless comments. Now, in 2007, diesel is almost 45 cents MORE per gallon than 87 octane. Who knew?
Well heck, the 40+ MPG you get is still better than what my Volvo 850 gets. ;)
Wish I had a diesel Jetta...
