My close friend just bought a 2002 Jetta TDI. It has ~100k miles if I remember correctly. He drove it back from florida last week and had no problems at all, claiming 49 MPG. Is there anything he should know about these cars that someone on here can impart to us? Thanks in advance. ---

diesels are terrible for the enviroment, are a little noisy and sometime smoke, however they get insane mpg, and generally last a lot longer than gas engines because the heat levels in the engine are much less ---

Did some searching on the vortex… > My RC 3 and big nozzles from Kerma put me at 147whp and 281lbft at the wheels. > Both Upsolute and Rocketchip make chips for the PD. I don’t know what the power output is for the Upsolute, but I’ve seen the Rocketchip dyno’d in a PD and it made 151 HP and 274 lb/ft. That’s with stock injectors, intake, exhaust, everything. Just a chip. > But 2002 is not a PD. Found a bunch of other threads showing about the same numbers. Looks like a good chip and injectors will put the car at 120-150 whp and 250-300 ft-lbs. :tup: ---
