VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 2009 spec

[aristo08]

I'v bought today th JETTA TDI 1.9 DSG 6 WET CLUTCH.

I don't think you will find the jetta has the 1.9L, it will be the 2.0l tdi.
The new model TDI Jettas will not have the new DSG7 due to the torque.
However the new Audi 1.9tdi has the 7 speed DSG.
I suspect its only a matter of time before we see this motor and box in the Jetta.
Its going to depend what you want the car for.
What are you planing to do with this vehicle, suburban or hwy driving.
If its just going to be around town and you only plan to keep the car a few years
I think you will be better off saving your money and not paying the extra for TDI
It sounds like your planing to tow a 36 foot cruiser with it up hills.
If your sources are correct and their getting 600-700000k's out of these boxes
I doubt we will see to many reach this distance in Aus.
Don't worry to much about DSG as soon as you get one you will only think how great they are.
Your best bet is go test drive the TDI 6 and the TSI 7

Thanks for the advise.
I bought today the JETTA TDI 1.9 DSG 6 (wet clutch).
The dealer told me they dont have DSG 7 (dry clutch) on the TDI.
It will be supplied in about two weeks. I was consulting several drivers and have passed over some drawings of both DSG construction ( the 6 and 7 ).
I need the car for about 30,000 km a year in an mountain side and in town.
The car must stand heavy traffic up a hill in stop and start mode which need high torque in low rpm.
The wet clutch DSG fit more for heavy duty purposes. and there is no doubt about it is better than the dry clutch when high torque is needed and under heavy duty conditions.
Experienced JETTA DSG 6 (wet clutch) drivers told me they have made 700,000 kms with this kind of gearbox under heavy duty conditions.
I'll let you know about it after getting the car.

Have been driving POLO CLASSIC SDI 1.9 for 7 years.

I have been driving VW POLO classic 2001 SDI 1.9 (no turbo) mannual transmission for 7 years. Have done 250,000 kms with the POLO.
The car is very reliable. No problems at all except for window fixing.
But it does not have the excellent dynamic behavior of the jetta turbo. Needless to say that the jetta is bigger and more comfortable.
VW has had problems with the automatic gearboxes till about 2002 when they replaced it by the DSG 6 tecnology which became a great success.
It is followed nowdays by the DSG 7 . Any way there is not much experience with the DSG 7 dry clutch because it is a young technology ( about 1 year on the road)
I'm getting the Jetta TDI 1.9 DSG 6. colour is white.
I have looked but not seriusly at the ALPHA 159 jts 2.2L which has 8.7 sec for 0-100km/h. and 234 N-M torque at 4500 rpm. By the way the jetta 1.4L TSI DSG 7 has the impressive 8.5 sec for 0-100km/h. and 240NM torque
I feel more confident with the VW technology, so I wasnt seriusly looking at the competitors products.
The DSG 6 wet clutch technology is a proven technology since it is running since 2002 . This kind of gearbox will continue being installed on high torque VW cars. At the moment DSG 7 cannot stand torque higher than 250N-M.

ARISTO,you obviously do not live in Australia.
Where do you live...
I think the Jetta will be a big upgrade from the Polo,and probably far more reliable than the Alfa.
Good luck,and report back.

Enjoy the Jetta.
I would love you to tell us about the car market in Israel.
My sister was there recently,and said a lot of the taxis are brand new Jettas.
I also recently saw a gangsters hire car was blown up,and the pictures in the press showed that it was a once lovely new White Jetta...
I seem to remember that the Bora was popular there too,as well as lots of Passats...
