    ^ by any chance were you able to take pictures of both 1.6 manual and 1.4 tsi?

    i have a colleague from mexico who owns an older generation jetta and recommends the product, matibay daw talaga. his model is a 2.0 manual and says that for VWs, anything below 1.6 would be a no-no. he hasn't tried the 1.4 tsi turbo though (which apparently replaced to old 2.0 slow engines) so he really can't say. as for me, 850k for a diesel? maski manual pa yan, that's still the price of a gas subcompact now. i'm apprehensive also about repairs for special auto engines later on (DSG, CVT, etc) so i guess diesel manual would be best and most practical choice.

    any experiences from current owners?

    Didn't take pics but they look identical from outside with the exception of parking sensors on the 1.4 TSI.

    They looked exactly like this:



    The nice thing about the 1.6 TDI, like all CRDi turbo diesels, is that it's very easy to add more power to it with a simple ECU piggyback, unlike naturally aspirated gas engines. So while 105 hp is merely adequate, pouring in 40k can turn it into a pocket rocket of sorts.

    The 1.6 TDI Pure White Jetta I got a week ago was the newer model to the one posted in here. It doesn't have Cruise Control nor Parking Assist but that is fine with me. Build quality is a plus--you can easily appreciate German "attention-to-detail" if you are that meticulous. It feels solid. We had it for a long drive to take the 1.6 TDI engine to the test, and at speed, it is stable & remains planted even at high speed turns [it's got ESP]. For the price of P800K+, it is already a very good deal. Audio is from a Blaupunkt system & sounds pretty good also. The VW Sales Consultant told me that they are clearing inventory of 2014-2015 models so that by next year they can make room for all 2017 models including the new Tiguan. Thus the reason for the sale. The branch even have 3 VW Caddy demo models but sad to say those three already have owners though not yet released.

    I read on an article that VW PH's maintenance is every 20k. I'll try to look for it and link it here as it was just mentioned, but I'm wondering if its true. Anyone?

    It is 15k KM or 12 months, which ever comes first. The same applies for either turbo diesel or turbo gas vehicles. They do offer free inspection midway thru that period.

    After almost 4 months and clocking in 7k+ kms, im highly satisfied with the performance of the 1.6TDI DSG.

    Frugal, comfortable, and powerful

    Ayos na ayos paps, it accepts road imperfections nicely, very stable on the corners din.

    Both my senior citizen parents used the car several times going to Daet and havent heard any complains from them.

    VW offers AT tranny in DSG (dual clutch) for all Jetta models locally (2.0L TDI, 1.6L TDI, and 1.4L turbo gas). All versions of the Golf, the VW Beetle 1.4T, Tiguan TDI, and Passat 2.0T also use the same DSG tranny.

    That passat turbo is fast. Faster than the golf GTi. I was a skeptic at first but i confirmed it when i drove both.

    Maybe they tuned the engine for a higher output. We all know how easy they can tinker the output of turbo engines.

    Couldn't figure it out myself. The Passat is really quick against the clock, despite both having the same output on paper.

    Hmmm... wonder if I could get both down to Speedlab for a dyno-check.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    That 2.0L TFSI engine being shared across VW brands is more capable than the 220hp tune on the Golf GTI. In some applications, the engine is good for 300hp and 400Nm. Maybe the Passat 2.0L TFSI is rated 220hp at the wheels. hehehehe.

    Anyone knows what is the minimum fuel RON rating for Jetta 1.4 TSI? The sales agent said 97 to be safe, but I get mixed response from various Volkswagen forums.

    Thanks.

    I guess to be safe you can use a minimum of 95RON fuel for 1.4L TFSI engine. Ford recommends 95RON for their Ecoboost engines and Subaru also recommends the same for their turbo engines. I use Shell V-Power Nitro+ for both my Fiesta Ecoboost and Forester XT. Medyo tricky kung minimum of 97RON kasi limited ka lang to Shell V-Power Nitro+ Racing, Seaoil Extreme97, at Petron Blaze. Sa 95RON, dami ka options.

    Small rant on my end, sayang lang free gas card ni wifey sa office nya kasi Petron Xtra lang yung free. Di kasama yung Petron XCS.
