This one smooths forward from a stop. What makes me a little sad is that it no longer sounds and vibrates like a diesel, the turbo sound is non-existent, and engine has new anti vibration technology.

I use the diesel for work commute, mixed highway. 2 hours each way, 8 times a month. I average over 50 MPG on the 115 mile trip with cruise control at 70mph. That’s over 800 miles per tank. My previous diesel, the 2013 averaged just under 50 on the same route, with about 700 miles per tank.
What kind of fuel injection does a Volkswagen TDI use?
This article shows the 3 basic types of direct injection diesel fuel injection used in TDI engines sold in North America: – the Bosch VE type injection pump, pumpe duse unit injector, and common rail diesel (CRD). Engine generations in Volkswagen TDI didn’t always change with body generations.
Why did Jetta change to common rail fuel injection?
The change to common rail was to meet 50 state and Euro emissions standards. Because of greater advertising/awareness, supply, and higher fuel prices, these TDI are by far, the most common. While the 2009-2010 Jetta sedan uses the same body as the 2005.5-2006 Jetta, it has a completely different engine/transmission and emissions control system.
