 Don't be fooled by all the wonderful words out there on the world wide web about the VW TDI or the VW Jetta.  I have had nothing but problems with my 2004 VW Jetta TDI Wagon.  It has been in the shop at least 6 times for a multitude of problems ranging from a malfunctioning fuel pump/fuel gauge/instrument cluster to defective seats.  It has multiple rattles and squeaks that the dealership cannot fix for some reason. Amazingly enough, it doesn't meet criteria for the lemon law, yet.
