Ok, I think we need to clarify the use of the term "TDI" in this thread.
The one I think of is the 1.9 L engine in the VW sedans that gets close to 50 mpg. I think some folks are using the same term to refer to the high performance diesel in the Tourag, which is a totally different thing, right?
Hmm, I just checked the vw site, the only engine option they show for the Tourag is a V-8, I assume this is what other posters meant about the diesel Tourag being very scarce?

Frankly, after my experiences with VW's, I wouldn't touch a VW with a ten foot pole. http/www.vwsucks.com

Your misfortune is probably more related to the dealership than the car. Your servicing dealer isn't known for having great service technicians.......

My problems involved multiple problems with the cars themselves, problems with the dealers, and problems with VWoA.
I thought that I had incredibly bad luck to get two lemons in a row, until i started reading about all the problems that VW was having. VW is at the bottom of everyones list for quality.
My TDI did get outstanding mileage, which helped when I was constantly driving back and forth to the dealership to have it fixed.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I have also read about VWs problems with quality and then i also read that of all the car manufacturers that they also have the highest resale value. That doesn't seem possible does it?
Dur )</font>The resale value can be contributed alot to the TDI's.IMHO VW's have a better driving feel than any other car in it's class
