My Jetta 1.4 TSi arrives....

[boogz]

Just wanted to share with the joy of the delivery of my first VW!!

[BL33SU]

congrats... so its a 1.4L?

[tinto]

Congratulations I enjoy my 1.4 TSI.
Same engine as the GT Sports? i.e 170hp twincharged?

DSG or manual?

I can't see the 1.4 Jetta listed on the VWA site.

that radio looks different also.

What country you in, boogz?
We only get 2.0 litre Jettas here in Australia.
And yes, that's a head unit I've never seen in Oz.

Nice one ... well done ... good luck ... and welcome

1.4's are now replacing the 2.0L donk

Welcome to the forum

Thats cool photography BTW

What RNS unit is that ?

[boogz]

Yeah, funny story. About mid October I had on order the 2.0L FSi but my dealer rang to tell me that they we're no longer taking orders for them. He said it was being replaced with the 1.4 twincharged motor instead. The head unit is the first of it's kind in Australia too, I quite like this one as the one in in my dad's Jetta didn't really appeal to me. I went the DSG, due to my wife refusing to drive manual but to make me feel better it's now 7 gears!?!?!

I've owned it for nearly two weeks and have clicked up 800km!!! I'm finding it a joy to drive. A bit bumpy with the 18's (which is to be expected) but the pull on this thing blows my mind for such a small motor and the body it's pulling.

Compared to the 2.0, I find the 2.0 has like a slingshot momentum as compared to the 1.4, it just hauls a$$!! I've surprised a few other Jetta owners around Sydney as they look at the TSi badge with curiosity and realise this ain't no ordinary Jetta. But I'm sure over time they'll get popular and common.

No suprise in the fuel economy, as mentioned I've done about 800km and only filled the tank once since delivery. The day I picked it up it had about 3/4 tank in there.

More pics to come when I get around to it. I'm a photographer by trade. My friend took those photo's the day I picked it up, he owns a 2007 Golf GTi. He was very impressed.

I wonder what badge my TFSI will have when it arrives in a couple of weeks? The other TFSIs I have seen have had a TSI badge like yours on it. Surely they cant use the same badge on the TFSIs as well now?

[boogz]

I'm still new to VW, but I'm guessing TSi being Turbo-Supercharged Injected is the intended acronym, where as the meaning of FSi is Fuel Stratified Injection. Your's would be a Turbo FSi (which would be ton's of fun). I don't know the answer to that, but would be keen to see what they do...

Mate those rims are awesome. Congrats on the new car

[VW Convert]

Nice car boogz, sure you will get plenty of enjoyment from driving it. We look forward to a detailed review once you have run up some more Ks. Will be interesting to hear how the 1.4TSI and seven speed DSG perform.
Just curious, assuming you have driven a 2.0TFSI Jetta, how would you compare the two cars?

Originally the 2.0 TFSI had a "2.0 FSI" badge, these were replaced by the "TSI" badge quite some time ago, maybe 12 months or more. I'd guess they will continue to use the "TSI" badge on the 2.0 TFSI as well as the 1.4TSI. Confused? I'm sure I am!
Don't ask me the logic, to me there is none!

Cheers

Are you the boogz that used to have the Fast Fours Proton?

[BarneyBoy]

1.4's are now replacing the 2.0L donk

Pity the VWA website isn't up to date...

Welcome boogz! A Jetta with the TSI donk? Fantastic!
You're right - they sure do PULL!

You'll need top post the obligatory pics next! (ie more than you have - we'd be interested to see what other things they've changed.

[WEDEL.1]

Congratulations!! I have to say I like all the VW range at the moment.

A black Jetta certainly is a great pick up!!
