Apparently, the B5.5 Passat will be offered with a V6 TDI in 2004. Yay!

it can, it will just smog lots. that diesel comes in different options, most likely the 130. those are fun to drive, lol.

somewhere i heard those engine break on US diesel, most others say they just pollute too much and wont pass emissions. i gotta do some racing at race city, get vw to sponsor me, bring me over one of those engines to throw into mine, a chip on the 130hp engine gives 160hp and 299torque, ahahahaha.

Read somewhere (can't remember where) that VW is working on a special filter that will allow the 130 and 150 hp powerplants to be available over here. Let's hope!
