Hi all, it brings me great regret that I must inform you that I have traded my 2013 Passat TDI SEL Prem. in for this.......
Since my turbo failure, I was having hard time trusting my Passat again. I couldn't take a chance that myself and/or wife and kids could possibly get hurt if the turbo failure happened again on a busy interstate again. My kids and I were lucky we didn't get hurt the first time.
Onto the new car, its a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit w/ the 5.7L. I was having a hard time deciding whether I wanted to get the Ecodiesel or not. In the end I chose gas, mostly b/c my daily commute round trip is a whopping 12 miles. And they didn't have any fully loaded Summits with Ecodiesel and the Blu-ray entertainment. lol!
But just wanted to say Thanks to anyone I have gotten help from over the past 2 years. I have learned quite a bit about TDI's Thanks to some folks on this forum.
I also have a few things from my Passat that I won't be needing anymore...euro headlight switch, 85%+ left of a 5 gallon pail of Optilube XPD, quite a few headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs for the Passat, Passat Car-go mat and blocks and 2 VW emergency kits, and a Passat trunk net, and there may be more I'm forgetting. If anyone is interested in any of those items just PM me, I am in the Northern VA area.
Thank again! I'll still be here on the forums, just mostly a lurker for now on, lol!
