Vermont TDI Imports

Welcome to Vermont TDI Imports, a licensed, bonded and insured family business in Vermont aimed at meeting the needs of drivers who are looking for a high-quality "green" automotive choice. In recent years (until the 2009 model year) VW dealers were not able to sell new TDIs in VT, ME, MA, NY and CA. We started our business during those years and right after Katrina with rising fuel prices and a rising interest in more green automotive choices. We specialize in late-model low-mileage TDIs still under factory warranty.

We select only VW TDIs with verified service records, especially selecting only those where the correct VW spec synthetic oil has been used. We do not buy auction cars which we consider to be "anonymous." Our typical offering is a Southern one-owner TDI purchased directly from the owner.

"After a century of propelling highway trucks, construction gear, trains, and buses, diesel technology is set to give hybrids a run for the top spot in the green-car market. For consumers, this means more eco-friendly options."

3/22/08 - From AutoWeek: Are We There Yet? - Read near the bottom of piece. There is a good comparison between Honda and Toyota hybrids and Jetta TDI. This piece was written for Earth Day 2006, but the info is current since the 2006 Jetta is the "current" car and the Prius is essentially the same.

Engine oil requirement for all Volkswagen vehicles: When performing repairs, scheduled maintenance or other service to Volkswagen vehicles that require the addition of engine oil, whether topping off or doing a complete oil change, dealers must use engine oil that meets Volkswagen oil quality standards. *2004 to 2006 PD engines in the TDI must use 505.01 VW approved oil. We use Castrol SLX Professional 5w-30 or 5w-40 Castrol TXT.

We can pick you up at BTV, Burlington, VT, airport, or at the AmTrak station in Montpelier, VT.

Tire Pressures: Tire Inflation
Proper tire inflation plays a large role in keeping vehicles fuel efficient. For example, a vehicle with a recommended pressure of 35 psi whose tires are at 28 psi will have increased its rolling resistance by 12.5%. Read your label on the inside of the driver's door. Most VW TDIs have a higher cold inflation # than most of you would think...traditional thought being 32 psi.

If you want to read a recent and thorough report on tires and fuel economy, read this report from the Transportation Research Board.

1/7/12 - Check out the "coming" section above. Our last three Sportwagens sold prior to our getting pics up on our site. Don't hesitate to call or e-mail to ask about your automotive needs.
