Shifty Pony posted:I originally was going to note that you can easily get a TDI going without touching the fuel pedal at all without lugging, with just a slightly extended clutch release.  waitaminuteShifty Pony posted:The only other vehicle I've run into that would let you do it to anywhere near the same degree is a Jeep TJ with the legendary 4.0.  How would that work with, say, a poverty-spec Ford Fiesta, or something more powerful like a Mustang GT? Would the engine just die without being able to transfer enough power to the wheels?

veedubfreak posted:Well at least the 2010 was still the "good" jetta. Now if you were driving say a "new" jetta that might be a good idea. But living in Texas, it's probably easier to just ask someone to help you move big poo poo The current-gen Jetta Sportwagen is a misnomer - it's not a Jetta, it's an extended Golf, which didn't take the steps back that the new Jetta took (because they didn't change it at all).
