[edit] Badging

A small suggestion, but can someone add a "Badging" section or paragraph, explaining what the different colors of the "TDI" badging means? (ie. red I, red DI, red TDI, blue I, etc.)UrPQ31 (talk) 13:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Deleting this paragraph, for biased tone :

Due to outrageous EPA passenger automobile diesel emission requirements in combination with a complete lack of a crackdown of high sulfur content in diesel fuel has kept the U.S. behind most of the world in diesel technology. It makes one almost think the U.S. has something against VW since VW is/was the major (or only) seller of diesel passenger cars in America for a long time now.

[edit] VW biodiesel/warranty reference gone

I'm removing the following paragraph because the supplied link no longer says what is quoted and Google cannot an equivalent statement anywhere on vw.com.

Volkswagen of America does not endorse the use of biodiesel in high percentages. They state that "[s]hould the use of substandard fuels, or higher level blends of biodiesel, damage your engine or fuel system, such damage cannot be covered under warranty." Thus a high-percentage biodiesel user who encounters fuel system problems can reasonably expect difficulty obtaining service under warranty if the biodiesel use is apparent to the dealer.

Has VW changed their position on biodiesel? --Imroy 10:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

AFAICT the VW warranty says that they do not warrant damage from a bad batch of fuel, period. It's not a biodiesel issue, per se. Presumably refiners are less experienced making ASTM fuel from vegetable oil (and now, animal fat too! per the Tyson-Cargill arrangement) but AFACT that's a lot less of an issue. I think the comment about VW voiding the warranty is FUD and should be removed under NPOV. --206.79.158.100 (talk) 23:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
