I purchased a used 2013 Jetta TDI from a local dealer recently. Previously, he had bought it after the VW buy back and reprogram of the emissions system. For the first week, the car ran well .. was getting great mpg, drove like the great German car that it is. Then, it threw it's first codes (check engine and "glow plug light") ... we took it to the dealer, he checked the codes and ordered the sensor that it shown might be bad. After driving it for another week, both lights came back on and this time the diesel particulate light came on as well. After checking into it again, the car was sent to the local VW dealer (as this is warranty emissions work). The car has LITERALLY been at the dealer two weeks and we are starting to worry that maybe this is a sign of things to come.
Has anyone bought one of these after buyback cars and NOT had issues with all the emissions systems? I'm wondering now if its time to call this a lemon law car and get my money back.
Any help or advice is much appreciated. Please note, we LOVE the car when its running correctly. This is the 3rd Jetta I've owned (5 cylinder, 1.8L GLI and now TDI). I'm a big fan of VW and what they've done, so don't think I'm just looking to discard the car for something else.
