Golf and GSW. The '15 Jetta is still on an adaptation of the MKV/VI platform.
VW screwed us all up my making the Mk6 Jetta unrelated to the Mk6 Golf (which was a tweaked Mk5). The Mk7 Golf redesign did not affect the Jetta, which only had some styling tweaks. We hope and think that order will be restored with Mk8 due in 2019...Just to clarify . . . does the MK VII designation apply to 2015 Jetta's or just Golf's?
Is the Jetta scheduled for a major redesign for 2019 MY?We hope and think that order will be restored with Mk8 due in 2019...
What's "MQB"?I believe 2018. It'll move to the MQB platform that all VWs will eventually use. I've seen some spy photos and it doesn't look a lot different than the current car, but underneath it'll be a big developmental step.
I have a MY2010 Jetta TDI Cup Edition, 80,000 miles, haven't replaced the HPFP yet. Mine was built on 3/2010. Do I have an early Bosch HPFP, or do I have one of later HPFPs having unannounced/undocumented design changes that is leading them to failure?3. The original poster's Gen 1 - if the HPFP hasn't already been replaced - is one of the early ones before Bosch started making unannounced/undocumented design changes to them.
I found the information pertaining to the 2013 recall, which showed the parts that needed installation in the filler neck, and a pic of what it looked like after install. I have "most" of that installed on mine, but am missing the spring-loaded flap insert (which sort of makes the rest of it useless). I suspect what is installed won't count towards VW honoring the HPFP extended warranty, so I'll have to see if VW can put in a new spring-loaded flap insert, or a whole new replacement misfuel guard. Glad this was brought up - I'm sure I would have been negatively impacted by this part missing should I experience a HPFP failure in the future.If you have (A) A big yellow sticker "diesel fuel only" surrounding the filler neck, and (B) an attempt to insert a gasoline filler nozzle into your filler neck fails (you don't have to turn the pump on .. just try to insert the nozzle) because of a little gizmo down inside the filler neck, you have the misfueling adapter.
If a gasoline filler nozzle can be successfully inserted without restriction, you don't.
This was a recall/campaign at some time during the HPFP debacle, but a lot of people ripped the misfueling adapter out again because it was a nuisance to use.
Unfortunately, buyback and replacement purchase are structured as two different transactions with two different entities (you sell back to VW, you buy from the dealer). I think the states wanted to make sure they got to double-dip on this deal.......
Also, if the buyback and purchase are done at the same time, has anyone found that that's calculated as a trade so sales tax would only be paid on the difference in price? If I'm paying tax on the full price of the 2015, that makes it much less attractive.
I just got a kit for the parts involved in the 2013 mis-fuel prevention campaign, which has the flapper unit that I am missing. Also got that special hard-plastic funnel that works with this kit to be able to use on the large nozzle semi-truck fuel pumps (in an emergency) and to easily put in additives, like DieselKleen. Just put 2,500 miles on it in the past week, using the DieselKleen, and it worked great. Back home, there is a nearby Cenex dealer that sells Roadmaster diesel, and the specs on that diesel are much better cetane and lubricity ratings that most diesel stations, and about equal to the diesel fuel sold in Europe, so I plan to use that Cenex Roadmaster diesel w/o DieselKleen when near home, but will carry the DieselKleen on longer trips. Also, I have a bumper-to-bumper warranty on my 2010 Jetta TDI Cup Edition that takes me into May 2018, and with about 82,500 miles on the clock now, will run the car w/o the emissions fix as long as I can to get the best utility of the emissions fix warranty extension.I found the information pertaining to the 2013 recall, which showed the parts that needed installation in the filler neck, and a pic of what it looked like after install.
