My buddy had something like 2 NA Jetta diesels and 3 engines. Don't know if he was blowing them up, or if they just blow up. Wouldn't be surprised if they like to blow up since you have to run them WOT everywhere just to almost keep up with normal driving...

I suppose adding a turbo doesn't alleviate the wear of otherwise having to run WOT all the time.

Still, those old Jettas were the worst vehicles he's owned.
