any TDI owners out there?

[koabi at seeohdee.com (Koabi Brooks)]

I have had mine just about a year now (98 Jetta TDI) and have gone through a
glow plug rail, glow plugs, and the most recent issue that I've yet to
pinpoint is some relay that's burning up...i think - everything electrical
seems to be working fine...

Car starts fine at -15F once the glow plugs were replaced.  It started at
freezing pretty well when my glow plugs weren't working well, but not at -15
:p

I bought the car at 113k and it now has 152k - I consider the issues thus
far minor (well, we'll see about the current one soon, perhaps).

I switched to B20 biodiesel 3 pumps ago and that's working pretty well, too.
B100 is $3/gallon here for some reason, so I am holding off on that.

The older TDIs aren't everywhere, so keep your eyes peeled!

Hey are there any high mileage tdi owners out there? 
How do you like the tdi?  Are they reliable?  Do they
start well in the winter?

With the price of gas going through the roof & the
fact that I put 20-25K a year on my car, I need
something that gets some decent mileage, so a TDI is
looking like a good option.  I am going to look for an
older passat or a3 (hopefully a wagon) to replace the
SUV...  Just wanted to get your thoughts on them and
what to watch out for.  

Thanks,
Tony
