2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Clean Diesel

2009 TDI Clean Diesel feature highlights

Clean Diesel: sound like an oxymoron? Not these days. Let’s set some things straight about this efficient fuel that’s changing all the rules.

DIESEL MYTH #1: Diesel stinks.
Not anymore. Clean Diesel is ultra-low sulfur fuel. Sulfur was the part
that stunk. Ultra-low sulfur fuel has 97% less sulfur than other diesel fuel,
radically reducing emissions. And stink.

DIESEL MYTH #2: Diesel is dirty.
Nope. We call it Clean Diesel for a reason. The VW TDI Clean Diesel
engines have advanced emission-capturing technology, drastically
reducing the amount of CO2 they release. This means that what comes
out of the tailpipe is much cleaner than diesels of the past. The dirty
diesel smoke associated with old diesel engines resulted from unburned
or partially burned fuel. VW TDI Clean Diesel engines use
computerized fuel control and common rail fuel injection to virtually
eliminate this diesel smoke with higher injection pressures and therefore
better atomization.

DIESEL MYTH #3: Diesels are noisy.
Nein. Diesels of old have long been known for their loud clattering
engines, but clatter no more. Volkswagen TDI Clean Diesels use “pilot
injection” which quiets the engine, while the engine provides more
torque than equivalent gas-based engines with less noise than ever
before.

DIESEL MYTH #4: Diesels lack “oomph.”
Remember, the “T” in TDI stands for turbocharged. New Jetta TDI and
Jetta SportWagen TDI engines are quite fast, out-sprinting both diesels
of the past, and other alternative fuel vehicles of the present. The Jetta
TDI Clean Diesel models also deliver big torque, even more than
equivalent gas-based engines, at a whopping 236 lbs-ft of torque.

DIESEL MYTH #5: Diesel fuel is found mainly at truck stops.
No, truckers are found mainly at truck stops. With the growing
popularity of diesel-engine vehicles, more and more gas stations are
adding diesel pumps every day. Look for this trend to continue.
