Welcome to
Vermont TDI Imports, a licensed, bonded and insured family business
in Vermont aimed at meeting the needs of drivers who are looking
for a high-quality "green"
automotive choice. In recent years (until the 2009 model year)
VW dealers were not able to sell new TDIs in VT, ME, MA, NY and
CA. We started our business during those years and right after Katrina
with rising fuel prices and a rising interest in more green automotive
choices. We specialize in late-model low-mileage TDIs still under
factory warranty.
We select only
VW TDIs with verified service records, especially selecting only
those where the correct VW spec synthetic oil has been used. We
do not buy auction cars which we consider to be "anonymous."
Our typical offering is a Southern one-owner TDI purchased directly
from the owner.

TDIs
and Diesel Cars in the News:
5/1/12 - "It's probably fair to say that many hybrids
ask you to sacrifice a little fun in your driving for the good of
fuel efficiency--neither the Prius nor the Civic Hybrid we've covered
so far are particularly fun to drive.
The Jetta TDI is different. With strong torque available from low
revs thanks to the turbocharged diesel engine, it really punches
through the gears, and even at freeway speeds it has plenty of shove
for quick overtaking. It's also a lot more fun when you get to the
corners, so even without considering economy the Jetta TDI has plenty
of merits." -

- "...the real story is that we might be seeing the start of
a golden era for diesel-powered cars in the U.S. In fact, clean
diesel sales were up 35 percent in the first quarter of 2012 over
Q1 2011, a trend – and it is a trend, since diesel sales were
up 27 percent in 2011 – that the Diesel Technology Forum (DTF)
says is due to higher fuel prices pushing people into the efficient
oil-burners." -"Diesel

- Diesel:
Greener Than You Think, from Business Week
"After a century of propelling highway trucks, construction
gear, trains, and buses, diesel technology is set to give hybrids
a run for the top spot in the green-car market. For consumers, this
means more eco-friendly options."

- From AutoWeek: Are
We There Yet? - Read near the bottom of piece. There is
a good comparison between Honda and Toyota hybrids and Jetta TDI.
This piece was written for Earth Day 2006, but the info is current
since the 2006 Jetta is the "current" car and the Prius
is essentially the same.
News about biodiesel
from the Burlington Free Press January 17, 2006. (archived
pdf of article)
Are
you looking for a vehicle that can achieve 50 mpg on diesel,
can utilize
biodiesel, is rock solid, fast, and fun to drive?
5/14 - We have our first 2013 Golf TDI arriving
this Friday: 2013 Golf TDI DSG 4-door Golf, cold weather package,
grey/black under 2k miles.
Engine
oil requirement for all Volkswagen vehicles: When
performing repairs, scheduled maintenance or other service
to Volkswagen vehicles that require the addition of engine
oil, whether topping off or doing a complete oil change, dealers
must use engine
oil that meets Volkswagen oil quality standards. *2004
to 2006 PD engines in the TDI must use 505.01 VW approved
oil. We use 5w-40 Castrol TXT. For the 09-12 clean diesels,
use
these oils.

We can
pick you up at BTV, Burlington, VT, airport, or at the AmTrak
station in Montpelier, VT. We also offer a free overnight
for buyers traveling from a distance.
Tire
Pressures: Tire Inflation
Proper tire inflation plays a large role in keeping vehicles
fuel efficient. For example, a vehicle with a recommended
pressure of 35 psi whose tires are at 28 psi will have increased
its rolling resistance by 12.5%. Read your label on the inside
of the driver's door. Most VW TDIs have a higher cold inflation
# than most of you would think...traditional thought being
32 psi.
If you
want to read a recent and thorough report on tires and fuel
economy, read
this report from the Transportation Research Board.
Low
sulfur diesel and lubricity issues: Hydroprocessing
removes sulfur/sulphur and significant amounts of polar and
aromatic compounds that give conventional diesel fuel adequate
lubricating capability. Low lubricity in diesel fuel can caus...e
engine problems unless treated with additives. *We use Power
Service, Stanadyne
or Optilube
XPD. The first is the most commonly available. |

no better time to be moving to a safe and comfortable vehicle

I am trying to get it remedied. The "accident"

in a parking lot due to door ding incident. There
is NO body work. All paint has been verified with
a paint meter. **I now have the actual report. It
confirms the event happened in a valet parking lot
with another vehicle backing into left rear wheel
well. There has been no repair as there is nothing
more than a slight "ding" in that area.

VW Touareg V6 TDI Executive 25K Miles
Our
second Touareg offering in the past month. 2011
Touareg TDI V6 Executive. This was a $60,000 Touareg
just a year and a half ago. Intead of listing
all of the options here, I have scanned the original
dealer window sticker. This is a Southern
car. I have completed the 7-pin VW wiring so she
is completely set for towing. Included in this
price is also a nice set of 17" Touareg rims
and new General Altimax Arctic winters in 235/65/17
108H. If you do not want the extra rim/tire package,
we can negotiate that reduction in price. I drove
her home from Salt Lake UT. 2,400 miles with cruise
set from 70-78 mph and did 28.5 mpg for total
trip. In local driving I am seeing up to 32 mpg.
The 2011 added an 8-speed tranny and lightened
total weight by over 400 lbs. The Dynaudio in
this Touareg is stunning. 600+ watts. A
very complete discussion of the changes for the
2011 Touareg.

Explanation
of the DSG transmission used in the 2006 Jetta TDI:
(also
a video review)
The Direct-Shift Gearbox or DSG (Direkt-schalt getriebe) is
an electronically controlled, twin-shaft dual-clutch manual
gearbox, without a conventional clutch pedal, with full automatic,
or semi-manual control. In simple terms, it is two separate
manual gearboxes, contained within one housing, and working
as one unit. It is designed by BorgWarner and initially licensed
to Volkswagen Group (which owns the Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT,
Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Škoda brands). By
using two clutches, fast shifts can be achieved, and the torque
converter of a regular automatic transmission is eliminated.
At
this moment, the DSG transmission is only available in transaxle-mounted
front engine, front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
A
twin-clutch gearbox or dual clutch transmission (DCT) is a
semi-automatic transmission with separate clutches for odd
and even gears. The outer clutch drives the odd numbered gears,
while the inner clutch drives the even numbered gears. Shifts
can be accomplished without interrupting power, by applying
the engine's torque to one clutch just as the engine's torque
is being disconnected from the other clutch. Since the synchronizers
that select an odd gear can be moved while driving the car
in an even gear, and vice versa, DCT's have been configured
which shift more quickly than Formula One and other cars equipped
with single-clutch AMT's (automated-manual transmissions,
a.k.a. single-clutch semi-automatics). Also, with a DCT, shifts
can be made more smoothly than with an AMT, making a DCT more
suitable for street-driving.
A
twin-clutch gearbox eliminates the torque converter used in
traditional automatic transmissions. However, dual clutch
transmissions that are currently on the market use wet multi-plate
clutches, similar to the clutches used in traditional automatic
transmissions. Versions that use dry clutches, like those
usually associated with manual transmissions, are rumored
to be in development by several manufacturers. A 7-speed,
dry DCT will be introduced by VW in the 2008 Golf (product
codename DQ200).
