i cant back it up with a source right now, but i have heard that the 03 jetta engine was supposed to be the best engine, using the best injection system. i heard that they made many small changes to injectors and other components, but that the 03 is the best to look for. the 05's and below still need the timing belts replaced at 60k miles, and only the newest jetta (redesinged one) has a 100k belt cycle.


my best friend in college bought himself a jetta after he saw the diesel truth. he sold it 5 days ago to his brother and he rolled it yesterday trying to avoid a deer. so now that car is totaled but the engine works great still. i keep telling him to keep the engine so i can build a generator out of it.
