The new Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen has been out for about a month now, and TDi diesel models should be arriving at a dealership near you this month (August 2008). The TDi is available at the SEL trim Level and the base price is $25,990. (more…)
When the First Concept for the Tiguan came to the U.S. it had VW’s new 2.0L Clean TDi engine under the hood. So its no Surprise we will be able to buy a Diesel Tiguan with that same engine soon. (more…)
The Audi Q7 won’t be the only Diesel in Audi’s line up for 2009. The Audi A4 should follow the Q7 later in the year, using the same 3.0L Diesel producing around 240 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. of torque. (more…)
With the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta TDi available, I can’t help but wonder if the VW 2.0 Diesel will become available in other VW/Audi cars and suvs that share it’s platform (Tiguan, Rabbit, Audi TT). The 2009 A3 will have some changes over the previous year. (more…)
There is quiet a few diesel performance motorbikes being built by enthusiasts. The most advanced one is the The Star Twin ThunderStar 1200 TDi. It uses the engine from the Volkswagen Lupo, it’s putting out 100hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. Not bad for a Three Cylinder. It also gets a incredible 150mpg. This motorcycle was built in The Netherlands, by Star Twin Motors.
Mass production here we come. Remember the 1.8t it powered everything from a Passat to a Audi TT Quattro. If Diesels really start selling well I have a feeling Volkswagen’s new 2.0, 50 State legal Diesel could find it’s way powering most of VWs line up as a Diesel option. (more…)
Volkswagen pulled all it’s Diesel cars except for the Tourag for 2007, They needed the time off to make a new engine that would pass stricter emissions. (more…)
