[Biofuel] Jetta TDI
I was just browsing through the VW website. They now have a brief blurb on Biodiesel and say that using B5 will not void their warranty. About two years ago I remember a discussion on VW and at that time they did not approve of the use of biodiesel. Here's a change in the right direction. Ken __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Jetta TDI
Hi, MY old car is dying a slow painful death and I was thinking about getting the Jetta TDI. Does anyone have any experience with putting biodiesel in Jetta's ?? All ideas welcomed! Thanks Slater Put it in and go. If it's new-ish it'll be biodiesel-proof, probably all Jetta TDIs are. The issue is whether there are rubber parts and seals in the fuel system, but this mainly applies to older vehicles, virtually all European cars have been biodiesel-proof since the early 90s. If it's new VW will cavill over the warranty, which they say covers only canola-based biodiesel (rapeseed), not soy-based. Canola does have better lubricity than soy and is a better oil, but any biodiesel has more than adequate lubricity. This probably reflects the difference betwen the EU standards, favouring rapeseed biodiesel, and the US standards, favouring soy biodiesel. You won't have any trouble though, as long as it's well-made biodiesel, so it's up to you whether you tell them or not.

Thanks Slater Hi, Slater - Go to http://www.tdiclub.com/ This is a VERY ACTIVE website for TDI owners. They have a number of Forums (Click on Forum on the top of the page). Then click on VW TDI Discussion Areas Then click on Fuels Lubricants You'll find LOTS of stuff there about running biodiesel in a TDI engine. There are quite a few people doing it -- it's tried and proven. You can get answers to your questions there -- people on this forum are pretty enthusiastic about sharing their experience.

Re: [biofuel] Jetta TDI
Keith, Thanks for the reply, what percentage of bio-diesel to regular diesel do you run, I have heard only 10-20%. What is the real number ?
