Here are some more information for Passat Jetta:

It is a brand name for a family of diesel engines developed by DaimlerChrysler, but BLUETEC [or bluetec] is now also being used by Volkswagen, AG as it, too, begins to market its all new diesel offerings. Why is this important? Because DaimlerChrysler realizes that the world can benefit much more if automakers market common technology instead of going it alone. Will you be one of those motorists to purchase a bluetec powered Volkswagen?

On the eve of the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show, an announcement was made that Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, and Jeep would be jointly using the BLUETEC designation to describe their new diesel engines. Mercedes and Jeep are DaimlerChrysler {DCX} companies while Audi and VW belong to the Volkswagen Group.

The announcement was significant because it meant that a term that was reserved for DCX companies would also be picked up by Volkswagen and used to describe their engines even hough separate, but similar technology went into their respective development. The similarity of all bluetec engines is as follows:

Bluetec engines are highly fuel efficient, clean, and they meet all current US emissions requirements which happen to be some of the toughest in the world.

Bluetec engines incorporate various nitrogen oxide reduction systems to reduce pollution.

Bluetec engines have improved torque and reduce fuel consumption by 20 to 40 percent over comparable gas powered models.

For Volkswagen, BLUETEC will appear across their model line at least in Europe where diesels make up nearly fifty percent of the market. In the US, where diesel demand has been lagging, the new BLUETEC diesels are expected to have a hand in raising diesel sales to an expected 15% of all new car sales by 2015.

Despite the introduction of bluetec, Volkswagen will slowly introduce new diesel powered models as the company gauges consumer demand. The Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Jetta are two models thought to have the best chance of seeing bluetec diesels with the VW

Touareg also under consideration.

The Volkswagen New Beetle may be the test car to introduce bluetec to the lower end of the market. The New Beetle has been a raging success in the US where it is perceived to be an environmentally friendly vehicle. Adding bluetec to the New Beetle will help the company decide whether it could power the EOS, GTI, Rabbit, Golf, and the soon to be released compact crossover/SUV, the Tiguan.

Price may ultimately be the deciding factor as to whether VW successfully markets diesel aspirated vehicles in the U.S. With hybrid technology prices slowly retreating, consumers will want to make certain that the diesel cars that they select compete effectively. Furthermore, American consumers still remember the polluting and belching diesels from the 1970s and 1980s; will they accept the current technology or pass on the chance to buy a Volkswagen car powered by bluetec technology? All of that remains to be seen, but the next few years should reveal just how far reaching BLUETEC technology really is.

WHats better, Jetta or Passat?

Im looking to get a Jetta or a Passat.. looking for a mix of MPG and performence.. so kind a looking at 1.8T. but will get whatever i can find for good price. Years roughly 99-02. Which one performs better and is more reliable? from what i know the Passat is roughly 400lbs heavier then the Jetta.

Based upon my experience at the dealership level, the Jetta has been far more reliable than the Passat. They aren't in the same class, of course, the Jetta being more of a compact, while the Passat is a mid-sized offering. But the big difference is the reliability factor.

Without question, the Jetta is far more reliable. It doesn't have the upper arm links which wear out (though the Jetta/Golf can wear the rear control arm mount), which is expensive to replace. In addition, in most cases, the Passat are better equipped with more electronics that of course, given the VW record on these, isn't good. Personally, I think the Passat suspension is too soft to do much on the road. The Jetta seems better balanced and is quicker given its lighter weight and gets (slightly) better economy. Most items are less expensive to service and repair on the Jetta and parts are easier to obtain. The Jetta has been the best selling European sedan (ok, in name only: most of them were built in Mexico).

If you need the room for five people, then the Passat is a decent choice, much roomier than the Jetta with a good sized trunk. But, the Jetta is the better road car and has more compact size to deal with city traffic and parking conditions. The Passat on a percentage basis (from original msrp) will be cheaper, but the Jetta retains a higher resale value. The 1.8 liter 4 cylinder requires premium fuel in either vehicle, make sure if you purchase one that it has a complete service history and that synthenic oil has been used from the beginning. The 1.8 motor has a history of building sluge, the 2.0 liter NON Turbo four is a low horsepower motor that is reliable, but uses oil and is only so-so with fuel (at least its regular gas), while the VR6 is power enough, but also requires premium fuel and when the timing chains need replacement, it won't be cheap!

If possible, buy a standard shift, though the 2004 automatic in either the Jetta or Passat finally had the various issues sorted out. Jetta's were recall prone, especially the turbo's, so have your vehicle Identification number checked by a local dealer to see if all the recalls have been performed. The front window regulator replacement/repair campaign was not a recall, but a warranty extension. Have the dealer check to see if the regulators were updated, it can save you a lot money and trouble later.

Hope this helps, a car nut.

Beetle mania: The bug bites Indian deep pockets, price no bar
The iconic Volkswagen Beetle has caught the imagination of well-heeled Indians who do not mind forking out a fortune to buy the bug. After all, it has a steep price tag of Rs 20.45 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). One could buy a Merc or the sporty BMW by throwing in few more lakhs.
