Has the VW TDI engine been retired?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that VW removed it from new US-spec vehicles due to the EPA's changes in diesel emissions and low-sulphur diesel fuel. (California's emission requirements are even more stringent than the federal limits.)

I believe that VW is working to certify a CDI (common rail diesel injection) engine, like Mercedes-Benz and a few other European auto companies are developing. (A CDI engine uses very high pressure injectors, producing more power, lower emissions and sound levels. They also have additional emission components in the exhaust system. M-B is developing, and VW may be licensing, the so-called Bluetec urea-based emission system to clean up diesel soot particulates.)

Answer 2

no, it hasn't. They stopped producing it for now so they could meet the new emission standards in the US. They should be back out the end of 2007 as an 2008 model
There is one VW that has a TDI in the US for 2007 and that is the V10 Toureg.

Answer 3

VW TDIs are the future as well Audi TDIs that are almost the same thing

Answer 4

Answer 5
