The Volkswagen Golf TDI
From March 2000 through December 2002, I owned a 1999.5 Volkswagen Golf GL with a 1.9 liter Turbocharged Direct-Injection Diesel engine (TDI).  During that time period, I kept this site pretty well updated with the problems, maintenance adventures, and fuel economy that I encountered (along with pictures and such which I have taken out - it's not my car anymore).

This site contains information about my experiences with the Golf, as well as general information about Volkswagens and the TDI.  Hopefully it will educate you about diesel technology, and help you decide whether or not the TDI is right for you.  Enjoy!
