Wow! Congrats!
I am holding off on the fix until next April, when my car will have approx 110k miles. Let’s hope they have problems fixing mine while the mileage is between 110k and 130k miles.Amazing indeed! Considering the number of high mileage 3.0 vehicles under emissions warranty and dealership service incompetence, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more stories like this. One more reason not to “tune” your ride until the warranty has expired.
Well I wish they extended the olive branch right when 30 days was up to save lots of frustration, instead of after the customer's panic and desperate search for a way out. We all know there will most likely be no good will without the lemon law provision."as a gesture of good will" (not to mention in compliance with the express requirements of the settlement agreement)...
I was pretty close to drive the car out of the 18 months/18000 mile reoffer period. Car was 16k something miles when the HPFP went out. If it had been driven one more month, I would had been out of luck.I am holding off on the fix until next April, when my car will have approx 110k miles.

After the fix I may also look for the worst fuel possible.I was pretty close to drive the car out of the 18 months/18000 mile reoffer period. Car was 16k something miles when the HPFP went out. If it had been driven one more month and it went out, I would probably had been out of luck.
You'd better drive the car relentlessly, non-stop, day & night right after the fix, like there is no tomorrow
Just be careful and don't squeeze the gasoline nozzle in the tank, LOL.After the fix I may also look for the worst fuel possible.
BINGO! One of my friends just got a phone call from Audi stating that they'll buy back their 2014 A6 TDI for $53k with 50k miles on the odometer.Amazing indeed!

Unleaded gas nozzle will physically not fit into diesel filler. I found this out after I accidentally grabbed the unleaded pump handle and tried for a full minute of me trying to fit it.Just be careful and don't squeeze the gasoline nozzle in the tank, LOL.
Yeah, and many here believe the restriction device that prevents that from happening is a piece of crap and should be removed so that any size will fit. After all, they are TDI guys and would never accidentally put gas in a diesel, they are way too smart and super competent at all times. Just ask um.Unleaded gas nozzle will physically not fit into diesel filler. I found this out after I accidentally grabbed the unleaded pump handle and tried for a full minute of me trying to fit it.

A bit off track, but I wonder if they would even bother to remarket this vehicle? As a lemon/buyback, wouldn't corporate still be required to warranty the emissions system?Took back the car this morning, waiting to meet up with a buyback specialist to do the inspection next Monday.
By the way, they replaced 3 different HPFPs, total cost was over $25,000 plus a new battery, plus the loaner Macan, $80 a day for 90 days. The car is barely worth $16,000 on Kbb after the repair if there is someone who wants it.
I would send it straight to the crasher instead of resell it. There is still close to 3 year/31k miles worth of warranty to cover. The potential repair cost could well surpass the selling price, yet again.A bit off track, but I wonder if they would even bother to remarket this vehicle?

I would rather know it's impossible to put unleaded in and use a fill adapter for the odd outdated diesel pump, rather than knowing unleaded could get in by accident.Yeah, and many here believe the restriction device that prevents that from happening is a piece of crap and should be removed so that any size will fit.
