2003 VW Jetta TDI diesel acceleration test 0-60

Testing the Jetta 1.9 ALH TDI 5-speed on the Tune up hill in Mexico.
300-yard acceleration test. 0-60 and beyond.
Note: This is the baseline test. Upcoming mods include performance injector nozzles and a matching Stage 2.5 tune. We will repeat the test with each upgrade.
Here's how the TDI compares to the others in the garage:

Love how these things run forever, third owner of my TDI, has 365,000 miles on it!

[@gregs_garage]

kids describe this $2500 car as our best car. everything works, unlike our much newer more expensive cars which always have issues... I would drive this TDI to Alaska or Florida tomorrow no worries.

Hell yeah looking forward to see what you do with it, awesome how it's a clean slate stock car, im in BC, Canada my 01 jetta tdi 5spd has 514,344km and still going strong, all stock except for malone stage 1, egr delete and a full straight pipe, just trying to keep it alive as long as possible at this point slowly replacing original parts mostly just preventative maintenance 🤙

[@gregs_garage]

excellent car you have. run it forever. This one spent something like 10 years in Victoria which is why it's so clean. Nozzles and tune are coming and Malone stage 2.5 maybe. I need to ask Mark.

That was down hill lol but these are great cars, we've had a ton of them and I'm probably going to pick up another!

[@gregs_garage]

Nozzles and tune coming. Amazing cars even 20 years later still good on the road.

[@gregs_garage]

Nozzles in. Video editing now. Tuner in the mail

when you upgrading the nozzles g

[@gregs_garage]

Back burner. I want to soon but everything is apart in the garage.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

It sort of reminds me of the New Beetle, but with extra doors.

[@vukmitrovic687]

Are you going to put the gtb2260vk turbo on your 1.9

[@gregs_garage]

i doubt it. probably a cheaper 17/22 or something.

[@rotherin3316]

How on earth do you set the cruise control? I got this kinda car and I can't make the light go in but can't figure out how to actually set the cruise control on

[@gregs_garage]

Steering wheel button

[@brandondehart]

Neeeeed an update lol, need to decide if it’s worth it, and what nozzles and turbo I should go with!!

[@gregs_garage]

I want to do an update badly. But I have a broken ZR-1, and broken Fisker, a broken E30 BMW, and more going on. The time is coming I keep saying...
