I recently took a plunge and bought a 2005.5 New Jetta with the
5-speed manual transmission. For my old car, the documentation manual listed recommended shift speeds, but I can't find that information anywhere. A friend of mine told me that, at least on her '99 Jetta V6, it was recommended to her by multiple independent source to keep the RPMs in the 3000+ range in order to keep carbon build-up down. Does that piece of advice remain true for the engine?I can't really tell much of a difference in fuel economy with the instantaneous readout on the in-dash computer....
