Lol, that doesn't surprise me one bit. They'd lose their head if it wasn't stapled on. That said, I'm happy they didn't drain my 800-mile-old Liqui Moly.
I had the same experience. Tech just said there were a lot of variables and some cars needed more parts than what the kits had. Considering some cars are getting DPF assemblies, it's understandable they don't want to stock such an expensive part for what may or may not come through the door. But yeah. They gave you a loaner right?So I was told today they had to order some parts kinda crazy they don’t have the parts ready ahead of time.
I tried that route right off the bat and the system tells me that my VIN is 'ineligible for additional compensation.'Perhaps you just need to submit a claim? Who knows, you could get paid for Phase 2.
.Service tech said original owner cars get a new DPF/DOC regardless of miles. Remarketed cars only get the new sensor, for now.
Makes sense. But somewhere in all that legal mumbo jumbo it has to spell out precisely who gets what. I'll attempt to search the court documents and see what I can find concerning the original owner, subsequent owner stuff.I've read between the lines that phase 1 was getting the emissions to meet compliance, phase 2 is about longevity of the emissions components to meet the serviceable life of the car (150Kmiles)

Mine had 2,800 miles on it when I purchased it.
Important as here in the Seattle area Reg Gas has jumped up to $3.49/gallon and diesel is up to $3.39 a gallon and up.Last year I surrendered our 2010 manual Sportwagen with 220K miles. I was surprised that they paid me $12K for it. I mentioned how I would love to buy another TDI sportwagen.
The salesman said that they had permission to sell their 20+ 2015 TDI. We suddenly jumped on the opportunity. After 10 months of driving, we have logged 27K miles and we haven't gone on any trips yet. My wife was a bit reluctant about the automatic, but she enjoys it now. Around town we are averaging 48+ mpg. Time for me to get back to my 2003 'wagen with 310K miles. it needs some new vacuum lines. I loves these cars!
humm... Interesting... I'm the 2nd owner of my Passat and Phase 1 was done while I was the owner. Hard to figure out exactly what the document says about my situation. I may just wait until I hit 70,000 (manual trans) miles and make it a one time service visit. I've not heard of any time limit for having phase 2 completed.Have you seen this thread? http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=5404905&postcount=81
It spells out a little bit more than the Phase 1 warranty supplement booklet does.
For instance, I purchased my car "new" last May as one of the stop-sale cars that were fixed with Phase 1. According to the mailer (and my car is a DSG), if I bring my car in now with less than 40K miles, I will get the Phase 2 flash and a second NOx sensor only. I should then return sometime after 70K miles to receive the new DPF, DOC, and SCRC.
Sounds like a logistical nightmare for VW, but that's how I read the document.
Going to the train station this morning, just since my last post, Chevron raised the Diesel price to $3.69 a gallon!!!!!!!Just heard oil hit $70 a barrel for the first time in quite a while. Prices may be rising soon.
Why is the west coast so expensive? Is it just because of three liberal states and their outrageous fuel taxes or are there other forces at play? Refining capability?Going to the train station this morning, just since my last post, Chevron raised the Diesel price to $3.69 a gallon!!!!!!!
Holy you know what.
Beave
Both...Why is the west coast so expensive? Is it just because of three liberal states and their outrageous fuel taxes or are there other forces at play? Refining capability?
I noticed absolutely no difference, except it seems to regenerate less with the new DPF.Does anyone have any post Phase 2 impressions?
