The 2006 VW Jetta 1.9L TDI Engine was the last of the "dirty diesels". I have burned only Highway diesel in this car, but since the Government was so nice to remove the Sulfer from Diesel Fuel, which was used as a lubricant by the engine, I have had to add a supplement with my purchased diesel fuel. I have used FPPF many times, but on a regular basis, I use good ole Marvel Mystery Oil that can be purchased at your local Walmart.

This is a very unusual 2006 Jetta. I am the second owner and I purchased it from a nice couple from Alaska that had moved to near Waco, TX, which is where I took title to this car. This car is actually a 2007 Body and the manual is a 2007 Manual, except for the fact it had to be Titled as a 2006 because of emissions problems with this specific engine. The frame of the car, I am told by my mechanic, is a 2005 VW Passat frame. This became important when I replaced the clutch around 110K miles and we both found out this fact. Again, the car has been meticulously maintained. All fluids were completely changed out at 135K miles and this was done at the 70K point also. Yes, you will be riding around in a freshly changed timing belt also. The Oil and Fuel Filters were changed as recently as 165K. This car has the Wolf's Burg suspension under the car, which is according to my mechanic is the racing type suspension. It was completely replaced around 135K also. I forget how many miles are on the tires, but they have plenty of tread life left in them.

The car is equipped with a Manual (5 Speed) Transmission, is a Package 2 Car which means it has every available option for this model year with exception of Navigation. It is Spice Red and I have had many compliments on this car and the color; it draws a lot of attention. Your mileage will vary with how you drive the car. I have gotten as high as 48.2 miles per gallon, and as low as 42. There have been no major modifications to this car; there is some aftermarket stuff that will improve the mileage, but I will leave that up to you. I believed in the German Engineering that this was the best that VW could do at the time.

This is a great car that gets better than average diesel mileage. It has a driving range of 650+ miles, so you will be passing a lot of gas stations on your way to wherever. Why as I selling this fine car? I have purchased a larger car, 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid, that will beat the statistics in this ad. 50 City and 45 Highway with a 700 mile range is hard to beat in a mid-sized car. I just do not need two cars!

I live in the Huntsville, AL area. Local pick-ups encouraged. I would be happy to met the winning bidder half-way of the journey, as long as they have cash or certified funds in hand to purchase the car. I always enjoy an adventure!

Volkswagen feuds with thriving stablemate Skoda

Wed, Oct 4 2017

BERLIN, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Volkswagen managers and unions are seeking to curb competition from lower-cost stablemate Skoda, move some of its production to Germany and make the Czech brand pay more for shared technology, company sources told Reuters. As VW struggles to cut jobs and spending at German factories and turn the page on dieselgate, Skoda's superior car reviews and profitability have intensified the brands' rivalry within the Volkswagen empire. VW now wants to reduce what it sees as Skoda's unfair advantages - combining German technology with cheaper labor - and reaffirm the top-selling brand's primacy ahead of a wave of new electric car launches, the sources said. The tussle between VW and Skoda is reviving tensions at the heart of the Volkswagen group between profits and jobs, and between central control and autonomy for its 12 vehicle brands. "Instead of devoting our efforts to beating Tesla, we may just be setting up a futile internal conflict," said one manager. Once the butt of jokes, Skoda has blossomed under 26 years of VW group ownership into a successful mid-market carmaker, steadily winning business from rivals - including VW - and surpassing even Audi's operating profit margin last year. At the same time, VW is facing thousands of job cuts as management moves to trim excess capacity at German factories. Its powerful domestic unions see Skoda's success as both a threat and a potential lifeline. VW workers' representatives are now demanding the transfer of some Skoda production to their underused German plants, a source close to the supervisory board told Reuters. The proposal aims to offset declining output of the VW Passat and aging Golf that could otherwise threaten more jobs. They are also making the case that Skoda should pay higher royalties to use VW's main common vehicle platform. The so-called MQB architecture also underpins mid-sized models from the group's Audi and SEAT brands. Responding to the news, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said he would meet Skoda management and unions to ask for clarification. The government will seek to ensure that VW investment plans are followed through and that "production is not moved outside the country," a statement released by Sobotka's office said. Skoda's main union warned that a production shift could cost as many as 2,000 jobs. VW's works council declined to comment.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit

Wed, Dec 10 2014

We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.
