1998 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI (DIESEL) Description Odometer: 81600KM=50950MI VIN# 3VWRF81HXWM209709 Engine: 1.9L 1896CC 116Cu. In. l4 DIESEL SOHC Turbocharged Transmission: Manual You are bidding on a very beautiful and outstanding 2-Owner 1998 VW Jetta GLS TDI Diesel (Canadian Model) with 5-Speed manual Transmission and 81KM=50K Miles all highway miles from the state of Connecticut and the state of Florida. This vehicle is powered by VW TDI (Turbo Diesel Inter-cooled) fuel system and is very fuel efficient with about 48 MPG Highway resulting in huge savings on fuel cost. It runs and drives very well with a smooth acceleration and shifts good from gear to gear without any hesitation. This vehicle has only 50K Original Miles and for a Diesel Engine it has many more miles to travel. This is a very Jetta TDI originally from Canada, it was imported to the state of Connecticut where it spent 14 years there and then came to Florida last year. I acquired this Jetta TDI from the Original Second owner as a trade in. He told that he bought from a dealer in Connecticut, he bought when it had 66km=38mi This vehicle comes equipped with Moon roof, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Mirrors, etc. It has a Green Exterior and the interior comes dressed in a very nice Gray Cloth Upholstery and in very good condition. the TDI's turbo charger does spin up pretty fast. However, there definitely is turbo lag. I'm not a trained driver and I've never even owned a turbo-equipped car. Still, I was able to tell the difference between the time I stomped on the accelerator and the time the car jumped into action. The turbo is quiet, but the term "no noise" does not apply. A very distinct whine is audible while the car is under load. I do feel smooth, steady power; however, don't expect seat of the pants driving below 1500-rpm. The car pulls steadily from about 1500-rpm to about 4200-rpm. Shifting any later than 4000-rpm is fruitless since there's much more torque to be had by upshifting and getting the rpm closer to 2000. TDI badge on the grill. The torque delivered from this tiny diesel is surprising. Even my die hard V8 friends are surprised at the TDI's abilities. Of course, none of them said they would switch to the TDI for drag racing. Nevertheless, they couldn't deny the fact that the little TDI engine has just as much punch as other cars in the 2-liter class. The TDI has been called "the diesel that doesn't know it's a diesel." It's peppy, yet frugal. If there are any unpleasant smells coming from the car (even at startup), they definitely cannot be detected from within the car. Besides, no car's exhaust smells like roses; and I've driven behind plenty of smelly gasoline cars, too. The clatter from under the hood is quite noticeable while at idle, or while driving around slowly in a quiet neighborhood. At highway speeds the sound is only Dash display. Notice the glow plug indicator? It goes out so fast that it took me a few tries to get the photo with it on.different, but not louder. As far as the glow plugs are concerned, you DO have to wait for them to warm up. However, the glow plug indicator is normally out within a second or two. Only on the coldest days will you have to wait longer. I once waited twelve terrible seconds in 15-degree (F) weather. Compared to the time it takes a larger diesel to warm up, that's nothing. Finding a diesel-selling gas station in your area certainly is not a hard part about owning a TDI. Once you start buying diesel fuel, it will seem like it's everywhere. Volkswagen's handy guide is good if you're in a jam, but keep in mind that it doesn't list the location of "just about every diesel outlet in the country." If it did, diesel owners across the nation would be in big trouble. I'm sure the guide doesn't cover even half of the stations that carry diesel. What the book does do, however, is provide you with a place to start looking if you have no idea where you are and how far you have left to travel on your current tank of fuel. Think of your fueling habits this way: Most cars are capable of driving only 400 miles per tank. If you make it a habit to refuel every 400 miles, then you'll always have a 200+ mile reserve. I would feel pretty safe on just about any road with that kind of cruising range. By the way, the furthest I've ever driven on one tank is 909 miles. I still had almost a gallon left, averaging 62.4 miles per gallon (US). Jetta TDI engine bay. With the exception of the engine and the fact that cruise control is standard, the Jetta TDI is equipped identically to the Jetta GL. Fully loaded, it's nearly the same as a Jetta GLS. I agree that the tires are too skinny for aggressive drivers. As stated by Keith Buglewicz, "they loose grip well before the chassis is through with them." That's not to say the Jetta TDI does not handle well. I took one of my V8 mongers for a test ride. He was fairly impressed by the acceleration, "�for a diesel," he said. However, when I cut the steering wheel at 20 mph and stomped on the pedal, the wheels just barely chirped. He was firmly planted against the door and I was feeling a little lightheaded as I straightened the wheel. The car didn't understeer at all. It probably would understeer in some higher-speed stuff, but I think it would take some foolish driving habits to break the Jetta loose from the pavement. If wider tires will improve the Jetta's handling, then the Jetta should be quite lively after an upgrade. The Jetta drives great on the road. My route to and from work has dips on the highway. Even at 70 mph, the car only rebounds once or twice. This may or may not be excessive. That depends on whether you want the car to drive like a rock on rough roads. To say the car "[bounces] for several beats after passing over [a dip]" seems to be an overstatement... perhaps not at 85mph, but definitely at legal speeds. My Jetta TDI interior. The interior is nice. There's plenty of legroom. I'm 6'1" and I cannot completely depress the clutch if I put the seat all the way back. The driver's seat height is adjustable, too. I usually sit one or two notches from the bottom, even though I could sit higher and still have plenty of headroom. For shorter drivers, the seat will adjust to such a height that even someone under five feet can feel comfortable. Beware of the sunroof option. Since it's motorized and designed to come down into the car and slide into the headliner, about 1-1/2 inches of headroom is sacrificed to make everything work. I opted to forego that option. The rear seat is a little cramped for adults. But what compact car's rear seat isn't cramped? The benefit? The trunk is a cavern! The Jetta has one of the largest trunks in its class. It makes the car perfect for couples that like to pack the trunk and go on a trip. The interior can be left wide open for kids (cats, in our case) or things that need to be readily accessible.
