Hey y’all, just wanted to share my experience with my new-to-me 2010 JSW. Bought it from a lot a month ago for $6700 with 117k on the clock. Fix done in December of 2017 with 105k on it. I verified with VW that it had the extended warranty prior to purchase.
On the way home, cel came on. Bank A below expected threshold. EGR flow. Reset both codes, drove it another few hundred miles. Codes came back, and MPGs were well below expectations.
I am halfway between Lancaster and Bakersfield dealerships. I had heard not so great things about the Lancaster service department, so I schedule an appointment at Bakersfield. 2.5 hours waiting for word, and they came back as needs a DPF and filter. They gave me a 2018 Passat SE and sent me onnmy way.
A week later I picked the car up. No questions asked about warrranty, loaner, and zero hassle. No CEL after 1000 miles and MPG’s up a little. Still going to chase down some other issues to get the mileage up where it should be, but I’m a happy camper.
