x SF med,
How many miles do you have on the car? The reason I ask is that I've heard of issues with the newer VW diesels around 100k with the engine or oil pump from an acquaintance who works on VWs (mostly older ones). I thought it sounded strange since most diesel pickup trucks go up to 300k or so without major engine problems (from my limited understanding).

Have you had any electrical issues? I had a couple 1980s VWs that always seemed to have electrical issues and I notice a few newer ones with burned out taillights or headlights. Maybe I just pay more attention to the VWs since I like the fact that they are one of the only family cars you can buy with a diesel here in the US and I hope to someday get one.

Not to mention the possibility of running off vegetable oil in a pinch.
