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!

Winterkorn vacates chairs on Audi, Truck & Bus boards

Thu, Nov 12 2015

The last remaining vestiges of Martin Winterkorn's power within the Volkswagen Group are slowly melting away. The former chairman of the group's management board resigned as CEO nearly two months ago in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. He held onto other roles within the group, but one by one he's been vacating those as well. Last month Winterkorn resigned from his role at Porsche SE – Volkswagen's largest shareholder. Now the latest development comes from Bloomberg, which reports that Winterkorn has stepped down from his role as chairman of the supervisory board at Audi. Prior to his promotion to run the entire group, Winterkorn served as chief executive of the Audi division, and prior to his resignation served continued to serve as its board chairman. No date was given for his resignation from that capacity, nor any successor named at this point. Repeated requests for clarification from Audi have gone unanswered. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, spokespeople for VW's commercial vehicle operations confirmed that Winterkorn has also stepped down as the chairman of the board at Truck & Bus GmbH. The newly established division encompasses truck manufacturers Man and Scania. Winterkorn also served as chairman of Scania's board, but requests for confirmation of his departure from that role also went unanswered. The Swedish truck manufacturer, however, named Henrik Henriksson as its a new chief executive only a few days ago.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
