Does anyone know if the Caliber 2 L TDI VW diesel is a common rail diesel or a 'older' variant with pump injectors?

On the back of the car is a badge with CRD so it's a common rail diesel

with around 140 hp and 310 Nm

This says the 2.0L TDi is variable geometry turbo diesel with high pressure fuel injection direct injection. The injectors are electronically controlled.
139hp DIN/100kW, 310Nm/229lb-ft.

6-8% better fuel mileage with the CVT over the standard 4sp auto.

Not yet. Maybe :grum: by 2009 if we are lucky. When ever the passat is able to bring thier 2.0L back into the states. That's probably close to when the caliber is able to bring it to the states.


Plus when you look at the MPG. Remember, it's UK gallons. Not US gallons.
I haven't done the conversion.
