I got a notice that phase 2 is available for my 2015 TDI. A day later, my local VW called to set up an appointment to have it fixed. I deferred for the time-being.
Evidently they replace the Diesel Particulate Filter, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, and Selective Catalytic Reduction Converter in this fix assuming your car has enough miles on it. Mine is at 84K. Please tell me if I'm wrong here, but it seems clear to me that the entire emissions system is stressed more with the tightening of the tailpipe emissions. Considering anything to do with the emissions system is not a cheap fix, why would I rush to get phase 2 completed? The longer I wait, the longer the "new" equipment installed under Phase 2 will last.
The only negative I can think of is that I don't get the remainder of my settlement until I have Phase 2 completed.
Thoughts?
