Then again...

I drive an '02 VW Jetta TDI (direct injection turbodiesel).  The curb

weight

of this car is within 100 lbs of the 2.0 gasoline car.

Thats about right. 25% more engine weight. What is the RPM red line for

this

engine?  HP rating?

In US trim, the engine produces 90bhp @ 3750 RPM.  Torque is 155lb.ft @
1900rpm.  Redline is 4700rpm.  approx 50mpg on the highway

In some European models, the same block & head will produce 150hp @ 4000rpm
& 236 lbft @ 1900 rpm.  The euro version uses a different turbo & injection
system (Pumpe Duse-- integral fuel pump & injector assembly).
