I had a Jetta TDi but way before any emission garbage.

I would really like to know how they did that.
Me to, I'd love one for my truck.
Do you have Diesel emissions testing in BC? Around here in Ontario it's just look for smoke in the exhaust, or so I'm told. But the gassers get the full treatment if you live in an urban area. We don't have to worry about it in rural areas. Imagine in California it's more rigorous.
Me, I don't mind the regs at all, having spent some time in European cities before they started cutting emissions. And after seeing on the TV how bad it can get in Chinese cities.
No we don't but it is illegal to remove them. I don't mind regs either and I hear you when it comes to European cities before and after emission controls but present Euro regs allow for at least one diesel option in any vehicle you can buy there. I can't help but think NA has gone overboard when it comes to diesel NOX limits.
