Today on our 2005 Volkswagen Jetta new body style we'll be installing the Putco PURE High Performance H7 halogen light bulb part number P230007SW. First we'll go ahead and show you the old or manufacturer's bulb. Now we'll go ahead and replace the manufacturer's bulb on the passenger side. To do this we'll open up the hood, then remove the rear headlight cover by turning it, unlocking it and setting it aside. Then we'll grab the bulb socket, twist it to unlock and remove the socket and bulb. Now we can go ahead and remove the bulb from the socket, install the new Putco PURE High Performance headlight and then reinstall the socket into the headlight assembly. Once we have the socket locked back into position we'll go ahead and reinstall the cover and lock it back into place. Now we can close the hood and we can go ahead and compare the two bulbs. We'll have the new Putco PURE High Performance bulb on the passenger side and the old or manufacturer's bulb on the driver side. As you can see our new PURE High Performance bulb easily replaces the factory headlight bulb. Now, to match the passenger side we're going to go ahead and we're going to do the same process on the driver side.
Especially in a direct comparison of generations five and six, it becomes clear just how much the new Golf has changed. The team headed up by de Silva and Bischoff sought to crystallize out the "essential DNA" of the model series and send it on a trip to the future. These stylistic characteristics include the clear front end of the first generation and the C-pillar that was perfected in the fourth generation. The roof section now rests - similar to the new Scirocco - on a dominant filled out shoulder section. Responsible for this is a prominent curving line that - like a muscle trained down to the last fiber - extends from the headlights back to the taillights. In its side profile, this line - which Volkswagen Design calls the "character line" - also gives the new Golf a fuller, lower stance on the road from a side perspective. All body surfaces are generally more relaxed, more athletic. In front the new car takes up the horizontally aligned radiator grille trim strip between the headlights of the first Golf generation; the grille itself is high-gloss black. The lines of the bumper match those of the radiator grille.
Beneath this is an adjacent section with another air scoop. Also arranged on a black background are the chrome light housings of the dynamically styled headlamps. In the rear too is characterized by a dominance of horizontal lines. The taillights - very wide now - are identified among other things by an unmistakably unique night design. Stylistically - with their crystal-clear lines for the turn signal and backup lamps - they bear a resemblance to the taillights of the Touareg. Overall, the image of the new Golf - in the interplay of all of its design characteristics - is one of a significantly wider, flatter and even more high-end car. The car's exceptional value also applies to the newly designed interior, whose refined surfaces and features completely transform class distinctions, both to the touch and visually, especially in the cockpit area. The appearance and layout of materials and details such as brushed chrome accents and round instruments derived directly from those of the Passat CC leave the impression that one is actually sitting in a car of the next higher segment. Ergonomic properties of the car's interior were also further developed.
For example, all operating controls are even easier to use. There is a common thread here: Volkswagen's typical attention to perfection of every detail in the car. The new Golf is characterized by first-class acoustic properties. A special damping film in the windshield also reduces driving noises, as does the newly developed seal concept for the doors and side window guides. The new shape of the outside mirrors also significantly reduces wind noise. Furthermore, special modifications were made to acoustically isolate the engine and passenger compartments from one another better. Very quiet rolling tires and new engine bearings round out the noise reduction package. Making a significant contribution to the pioneering acoustic properties are the exceptionally quiet TDI common rail engines being used in the Golf for the first time. Two balancer shafts also put an end to undesirable vibrations. Plans call for a TDI power range extending from 66 kW / 90 PS to 125 kW / 170 PS. Right at the market launch, Volkswagen will be offering the Golf with two 2.0 liter TDI engines; they output 81 kW / 110 PS and 103 kW / 140 PS. Always there as production equipment: a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
