Hi macrodarden. VW Credit is currently offering 3.9% financing for 3 years, 4.9% for 4 years, and 5.9% for 5 years on the 2009 Jetta. This is the lowest that dealers can offer on this car. They aren't making money other than a small flat fee and whatever gross they make on your car for signing you up at these rates. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences ...

We purchased a 2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI from a Garden Grove, CA dealer on Oct. 28th for MSRP. They were asking $2000 over MSRP, but we refused to pay it and they sold it to us for MSRP. It was the only Sportwagen TDI they had. Read More...

I would say yes and no. While I do not have any experience with the two that you have mentioned, (ok I had a 70 VW Beetle app 250,000 miles all but 10,000 put on by me, 78 Rabbit 95,000 miles, 03 Jetta TDI 110,000 miles) the latest 2009 incarnation Jetta TDI is a WAY better vehicle than the previous generations.

Service Mgr. at Wray VW in Columbia, SC says the TDI still uses a timing belt. Big mistake not going to a chain llike they did on the redesigned 2.0 turbo gasser. Read More...

bpeebles, I think you're correct that the '09 TDI Jetta uses a timing belt because I read an article somewhere that said they used a belt to help subdue any hint of noise that a chain might produce. VW wanted to make the TDI as quiet as possible, hence the belt. (I ordered my '06 NIssan Frontier with specific features, just like your Dodge. My truck arrived in six weeks, ... Read More...

Good. No, they are not as off the shelf. You might want to look at the vendor section of www.tdiclub.com for whom carries what and at what price. There are no specification differences between summer/winter oils for the TDI. The viscosity for the VW 507.00 specification is 0w30. I still run the 03 TDI specification oils and the viscosity is 5w40. Read More...

Actually (my .02 cents) the better. These diesels really like to be driven. Conversely once you drive them, one really likes to drive them. I had my TB/WP changed (100,000 miles) @ app the 4th year. You have probably heard by now the importance of the correct oil (as specified by the oem owner's manual, I believe yours is the VW 507.00 specification). Read More...

This can be a complicated question. For sure it is a 120,000 mile "major tune up". If it similar to gen IV products, $300. in parts and 2-6 hours of labor. There a a gaggle of special tools and it is best to get a VW TDI guru to do the actual work, when it comes time. Read More...
