It was not my intention to be combative to you. I tried to use arguments,
and point on the controversy between what I know works and what some studies
says don«t work. I don«t invent them, and tried to give you some examples.

Yes, and this has what to do with the question at hand? The original
poster is clearly in Canada or the US as the Jetta is only sold in North
America.

I suspect that the B2-B5 alternative has nothing really to do with going
biofuel. Logically it only have any meaning for the automotive industry as
a preparation on going ULSD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel), where it serves as
an excellent and necessary lubricant. Since the US industry does

Since 2004 VW models in Europe are certified by VW for use with RME, the
question should not be about blanket use of biodiesel. Keith once posted
effects of different feed stock on biodiesel and this is maybe a question.

Mel,
VW is certifying all their new diesel engines for use with RME (Rape based
biodiesel) in Europe. Your chat pages are wrong, if you want to belive the
VW engine specifications in Europe.

Biodiesel as a fuel I have bought a new 2004 VW Jetta
TDI. I have read several postings from various chat
pages that the new TDIs shouldn't run Biodiesel.
Biodiesel's no problem, SVO/WVO is something of a controversy. See:
