I am contemplating buying a Jetta TDI, but I am unclear how the 2006 diesel regulations might impact Jetta TDI owners. I notice on the web there is disagreement as to whether there will be a fuel shortage and price spike at that time if the refineries aren't ready for it. Talk that the refineries will wait until they know new engines are good to go, while some don't expect engine manufacturers to be able to "get it together" in time. Meanwhile, I would guess that diesel engines in Europe already comply with the standards embodied in the 2006 US regs?? Is the current Jetta TDI already capable of handling the new fuel? If not, how hard will it be to get the right fuel for the Jetta if pumps are changing over to a new one? Etc. etc.
Thanks in advance ...
