A VW rep told me with a cold air intake and DPF delete you can pick up an additional 10+mpg. When the warranty is up i plan on giving it a try.

As soon as we can get the bluemotion wagon we will be getting two of those. They should arrive in 2015.

Matt you gave mine a spin anytime you want to swing by.
I appreciate the generous offer and may have to take you up on that when im on your side of town.

Looking forward to the bluemotion but im definitely grabbing a tdi in the near future.

Charrigan125 is infamous around these parts
I suggest doing research on the dreaded hpfp failures before buying one.

I would wait until the next generation of tdi's to buy.

You are thinking of the previous generation motor. The current set-up has has had no failures that I have seen on the TDI forums.

There have been failures on the 12's. even a couple passat failures.

There have been no significant changes to the fuel system in 09-12 tdi's to deem them less failure prone.
