- Before I get started I want to thank everyone who responded to
- my "Those annoying lights" post -- many helpful suggestions
- were sent and I appreciate them all.
-
- Now on with the post. I had heard that VW would offer a 75-hp
- turbodiesel as part of the new generation Jetta awaiting
- importation, but other conflicting reports said the diesel was
- being consigned to history. a dealer I talked to BS'ed his way
- out of the question, so I wonder if anyone here has any info?
-
- Also, how do earlier Jetta/Quantum turbodiesels (esp. '84-86) fare?
- Given all the pluses (bulletproof engine, gas mileage) and minuses
- (power? what power?) unique to diesels,
- do the turbos fare any better or worse in durability or
- reliability?
