VW Jetta and Golf Sale

That passat turbo is fast. Faster than the golf GTi. I was a skeptic at first but i confirmed it when i drove both.

Maybe they tuned the engine for a higher output. We all know how easy they can tinker the output of turbo engines.

There's AT for both 1.4 turbo gas and 2.0 turbo diesel. I got the gas AT.

VW offers AT tranny in DSG (dual clutch) for all Jetta models locally (2.0L TDI, 1.6L TDI, and 1.4L turbo gas). All versions of the Golf, the VW Beetle 1.4T, Tiguan TDI, and Passat 2.0T also use the same DSG tranny.

Couldn't figure it out myself. The Passat is really quick against the clock, despite both having the same output on paper.

Hmmm... wonder if I could get both down to Speedlab for a dyno-check.

That 2.0L TFSI engine being shared across VW brands is more capable than the 220hp tune on the Golf GTI. In some applications, the engine is good for 300hp and 400Nm. Maybe the Passat 2.0L TFSI is rated 220hp at the wheels. hehehehe.

Anyone knows what is the minimum fuel RON rating for Jetta 1.4 TSI? The sales agent said 97 to be safe, but I get mixed response from various Volkswagen forums.

Thanks.

I guess to be safe you can use a minimum of 95RON fuel for 1.4L TFSI engine. Ford recommends 95RON for their Ecoboost engines and Subaru also recommends the same for their turbo engines. I use Shell V-Power Nitro+ for both my Fiesta Ecoboost and Forester XT. Medyo tricky kung minimum of 97RON kasi limited ka lang to Shell V-Power Nitro+ Racing, Seaoil Extreme97, at Petron Blaze. Sa 95RON, dami ka options.

Small rant on my end, sayang lang free gas card ni wifey sa office nya kasi Petron Xtra lang yung free. Di kasama yung Petron XCS.

Thanks bro. I'll start with 95 and observe if there's any knocking (I hope none).

You won't hear any knocking since most modern engines have anti-knock feature ...
