Just purchased 2011 Touareg Exec. TDI. Love it! Just noticed that it has 18" tires/wheel and the door placard shows it should be 275/45R20XL. Does anyone know why previous owner would change size and do you suggest going back to original as stated on placard? Thanks

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Greetings, My Check Engine light came on (solid yellow). Took the car in to a nearby Pep Boys, and they came up with a P2002 code. Took the car in to the dealer the next morning, and they diagnosed the cause of the fault as a leak in the boost hose (going to the intercoolor) and a leak in the pressure hose (to the equivalent of the throttle body). ***OFFICIAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR YOUR VW [PDFS INSIDE Springfield, VA.

LET'S TALK ABOUT REFRIDGERANTS: R-12A OR R-134A? R-12 is a chlorofluorocarbon that is obviously banned and is bad for the ozone layer. R-12a is a Red Tek product that's a mix of hydrocarbons and is supposed to be a drop in replacement for R-134a that is superior and completely compatible with R-12 and R-134a

systems.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE DIESELGATE WARRANTY COVER? Good Morning - I have been looking at used TDIs. One was touted as having, due to the diesel emissions fix, as having what amounts essentially to a full drivetrain warranty for 4 years, 48k miles from the fix or ten years, 120k miles from the date of purchase. Another dealer cautioned that

While diesel cars are available in many countries around the world, Volkswagen has been the only manufacturer selling diesel cars in Canada or the US (other than the Mercedes E320 CDI starting at $52,000US).  Sometimes the TDI is considered a  "niche" product and I've venture to guess that is one reason there is such a unique crowd of members.  Where else can you say economy and performance in the same sentence?  With this economy, one can also get great range. While not typical, here is an example of someone getting 1400 miles (2254km) on one tank

of diesel.

There are three main generations of TDI's found in North America. The first generation was available till 2004 used a distributor-type fuel pump and are designated VE engines and were 1.9l in size.  After that VW introduced the Pumpe-Düse (unit injector) engines (PD for short) that were sold in Canada and the US from 2004 till 2006.  The third and latest generation of TDI engines which finally arrived in 2008 are common rail and call a 'Clean Diesel'.  As you can see there was a bit of a hiatus on the avialability of TDI's during 2007 which was due to changes in US and Canadian emission regulations. The VE engines were found in A3 Jettas, B4 Passats (1995/1996), New Beetles (till the end of 2003), Jetta IV (till the end of 2003), and Golfs (till the end of 2003).  The VE engine found in the A3 Jettas and B4 Passats were rated at 90hp and 149ft.lbs of torque.  The A4 Jetta, New Beetle, and A4 Golf were rated at 90hp and 155ft.lbs. The PD version were available in New Beetles (2004 - 2006), Jettas (2004 -2006), Jetta Wagons (2004 - 2006), Golfs (2004 -2005), B5 Passat (2004 and 2005), and the 2005 V10 Toureg.   The PD found in the New Beetles, Jettas, and Golfs are rated at 100hp and 177ft.lbs torque from a 1.9l engine.  The B5 Passat with it's 2.0l TDI pumped out 134 hp and 247 ft.lbs of torque.  The king of power is the 5.0l 310HP V10 Touareg that puts out 553 ft.lbs of torque. As for the Clean Diesel Common Rail engines they became available in late 2008 for the Jetta wagon and sedan.  The engine displacement is slightly larger at 2.0l vs the previous 1.9l, but power jumps to 140hp @ 4000rpm and torque is 236 lbs-ft between 1750 and 2000 rpm. Shortly after the 3.0l V6 version rated at 221hp@ 4000rm and 407 lbs-ft between 1,750 and 2,750 rpms became available for the Toureg 2.  VW has also announce that the 2.0l TDI will be available for the next version of the Golf in early 2010. Demand for TDIs is extremely high.  An example is in 2005 Canadian sales of TDIs accounted for over 50% of models where a TDI was an option.  Another example is in 2006 the Jetta wagon was ONLY available as a TDI, they didn't even bother with other engine types. In Europe the selection is much more advanced from the 1.2l Lupo that gets 2.9l/100km (81USmpg ) up to the 313hp V10 TDI with 553 lbs of torque and everything in between. LATEST TDI RELATED NEWS
