It had never been "converted", all diesel Jettas up thru the 2006 model year are capable of running straight biodiesel with no modifications. Newer models cannot run straight bio due to the ridiculous emissions standards set in place by the EPA, all post-2007 diesels must have DPF's (diesel particulate filters) and the regen cycle that is needed creates issues with higher blends of bio. European diesels do not face the same restrictions, which is why they can buy cars like the VW Lupo that can get 80MPG on 100% renewable fuel while we cannot. So...we switched over to a hybrid, it actually works better for us because most of my wife's commute is in town where the hybrids are superior to diesels.</blockquote>
