Stephen Arnold Music I was going to say there is no way my car has 200hp!

True not 200, My XRS matrix barely makes 200hp after tuning

I know I’m like stfu and just tell us about the car please

Do you check tire pressure in cold weather? How fast do you drive? Traffic on hwy is really combined mpg. I have similar issue over wintertime bec of fluctuating temps and effects on tire pressure. Also are you always on highway at same speed or combination of local and hwy? Best I got was 52mpg hwy by myself, no AC and 43 mpg hwy when loaded with 4 passengers, luggage & constant AC use & 70-75 mph.

How’s it going now?

Ricardo Buchanan just bought one

@@aaron___6014 How is it? Im thinking on getting a 2012 sportwagon with around 90k miles you think its worth getting it with that kind of milage?

@@carlitos119199 Its been love hate so far. The driving position isn't the most comfortable to me given the bulge in the transmission tunnel where your knee goes. Its also going in to have its DPF replaced and maybe EGR, but that'll be covered under the extended warranty. The vehicle has a stiff ride as well when compared to a corolla or camry. I also replaced the rear shock absorbers. Take your time test driving. My car has a slight exhaust drone which is most likely due to a cracked dpf. Most of the expensive parts are covered by the extended warranty but read around the tdiclub.com forum.

John Doe I’m on the verge of pulling the trigger on a manual tdi, what are the usual maintenance done on a diesel car? Never had experience with one.

@@bhadz100 dpf filter, glow plug, is really all of the overall maintenance that you will need besides typical VW stuff. Make sure that you get a manual with the car and follow the maintenance schedule. Also make sure that you look into the TDI extended warranty an extra 10 years 160 k warranty that covers about everything that could throw a code besides tranny and clutch. They don't have spark plugs so you don't have to worry about that abd depending on the year the timing belt is a must to do on all vw and I can say that my 13 sportwagon is recommended at 130k. The good thing about TDI is that you will have very few issues with them besides the flywill on the clutch, the two fans which isnt a hard fix or expensive if you don't know what you are doing. These tdis do have the Regen on the dpf filter and does get annoying that they do it to clean the fuel system every 300 miles or so. A good tune like malone or kerma goes along way with these cars especially after the recall fix where they basically detuned them and if you do tune you just need to remember to take the 15 mins to tune them back ti stock for warranty work. I'm at 85 k on my 13 and really havent done anything besides typical brakes, flywheel, and both fans. The dpf filter was replaced at recall and they do replace them at time of maintenance at VW along with egr valves. Def make sure that you get the 6 speed as the dfs can be faulty and expensive upkeep on that. Also beware of getting that beautiful big sunroof because you may run into leaking issues as many have. Just love the car if you get it but do get ready for little a petty things like door locks and latches and window issues which are usually actuator issues as most VW end up with these problems at some point. Also try to stay away from mk5 vw unless you get a really good deal because honestly they are ugly and hold no value other than tdi, gli, etc.

It has 140 hp

Stock yes but very easy to get 2?close to 200 hp and 280+ torque with a stage 1 tune

@@JohnDoeDeadhead420 yes and void your warranty

@@carlosloyola4585 a person is only afraid of losing there warranty if they can't do there own work which doesn't apply to me whatsoever. With that said there is no doubt that 99 percent of the people who own mk6 TDI are going to have there cars at the stealership replacing dpf filters as well as fixing egr's. My wife gsw is in the shop right now dealing with vw and the whole dpf on unknown backorder while I'm deleted on both egr and dpf and tuned and am not worrying about it on my jsw. Though I still drive my mk4 golf alh with 415k a lot more than any other vw I own

@@JohnDoeDeadhead420 Hi John. So this is honestly my 1st MK6 SW TDI. I've always had WRXs or STIs. So I'm aware of tuning for better performance. I have been doing alot of research on these TDI's before purchasing one last weekend and they seem pretty bulletproof as long as maintenance is done on time...now, it seems like you'd recommend deleting the EGR & DPF to avoid the headache. Seems like a great option, but what happens when something goes wrong with the emissions like sensors, cat converter, etc (just had a CEL, came back with bad 02 sensors; fixed under warranty)...warranty won't touch it unless you put it back to stock. I'd like to do the de let's and get a stage 1 tune w/a DSG tune, but I'm very green when it comes to VW's.

Over 200 foot pound of torque

Yes, it has 237 ft Pounds of torque.

Bout to go buy a 2014, they look and drive amazing. Everything I hear about it is that these things are tanks as long as you do the maintenance as soon as it needs it.

Manual is always a lot more fun to drive. Especially in terms of vw and if you are getting any TDI and want ut to last 300-400k then you go manual always.

@@JohnDoeDeadhead420 How realiable is the diesel fuel system ? I hear with all the dpf systems they are troublesome.

@@qualitylandscapeandhauling7710 luckily the dpf, dpf filter, fuel rail, egr, turbo, etc are all covered under the extended warranty on the mk6 TDI. I haven't had a problem though with mine at 80k. Vw has done a pretty good job after the recall with the dpf coming on and doing it's thing around every 300 Miles or so. You will run into issues if you turn off your car while the dpf cleaning is happening. I strongly suggest that you look into the extended warranty before you get a mk6 TDI for sure.

Also I have never gotten the 50+ that these people claim to get after the fix to be honest before I tuned it.

@@JohnDoeDeadhead420 Oh ok. Sounds too good to be true.....50 mpg. Lol.

Horribly, muggy, humid weather... vicious goats, killer rabbits, menacing cats, and savage birds

UNFORTUNATELLY,,,IS MY CASE,,,NASTY,,,DRAIN PORTS!!

Lol

TeenageShutdown01 Counterpoint: I owned a 2010 JSW TDI (6-spd) and it was unquestionably the BEST car I ever owned. I bought it new and drove it 110k miles with nothing more than a new battery, tires, and yes, the factory stereo died. Why would you pay $800 to replace that worthless thing anyway when you could put a nice aftermarket CarPlay unit in for half the price (like I did)? The VW buyback was a no-brainer for me but I missed that car so much that 2 years later I bought another (2013 model, picked it up yesterday). I love these cars.

Still driving my 2001 Golf TDI 320k and runs great, just picked up a 2013 JSW Tdi today I am a VW Diesel fan.

@@kenmorris5055 Ken has the JSW been reliable for you?

The sunroof was leaking because YOU never cleaned the drains

Right, it's 147 not 200, c'mon Bill!
