Therewill be some updates to features and the look for 2010. The engine/emission system as a package is all new for 2009. The emissions filters like the DPF have been used previously in Europe and DPF technology has been around for a while. I think the NOx filter is all new for the TDI. The emissions system is a combination of DPF,
Thissame fuel will load up your diesel particulate filter to no end in city driving. The 3rd generation TDI Touareg with the 8 speed transmission is a model of efficiency, if driven properly for MPG. However, if you use the acceleration it is capable of, be prepared for a huge hit in fuel economy. Thenthere is the 1.8 tsi which is probably OK, and those engines take chiptuning quite happily too, but even without any the 160 PS seems adequate and is actually more economical on paper than my current 2.5 tdi! Then there is the V6, but oh so thirsty. So really it would only be a choice between the 2.0 tdi and the 1.8 tsi. Asof now I have driven about 50k on the new stage 2 tune. This was a must I read around the forums, and as you can imagine no one was lying haha. Everything feels better in the car now, throttle is crisp, no surge of power, the power stays on the whole way. Half throttle is comparable to full on the stock tune, its just far more fun to driveOwainmalonetuning said: Yes not bad for anyone doing board level repairs. stage 1 is a fair bit more than 30lb-ft, more around 50-60 at the crank depending on fueling. I get 38-40mpg in the city with a bew on 225 tires driven aggressively, ALHs do better.
Theyare 2.8 cm lower, with better aerodynamics yielding a drag coefficient (Cx) of 0.29, down from 0.32. The two cars I tested were in Highline trim, and the base prices were $29,495 for the TSI
Dieselfuel injectors are very often the main problem of diesel cars. In a Volkswagen or Audi vehicle with the 2.0 TDI under the hood, you will likely have issues with fuel injectors at about 150,000 miles. And you will have to replace them which may cost you approximately the same as buying and installing a remanufactured engine.. #2. Probably the "Chuck Norris" of the TDI world is the ALH+manual, 2000-2003. So, you already have that. A close second, and could probably
Novem. In the 31 days of October we drove our long-term 2013 VW Passat TDI 1,079.4 miles and used 27.7 gallons of diesel in the process. That's an average of 39 mpg, which is much
