Volkswagen Jetta 2006 1.9l Tdi Diesel -package 2 - Spice Red on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Alabama, United States
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! |

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
