Total miles on new 2015 TDI's?

[leakslikasieve]

Mine had 78 miles when I test drove it.

173 miles, we lucked out because they were stored in a covered garage and driven from time to time. We went to see the cars before the terms for sale were announced, they didn't even have a list of what they had so we had to look at wheels and shifters to see what manuals and trims were on hand.
They were covered in pollen and looking sad next to the shiny Audis & Porsches. We started the two the salesman had keys for and they fired right up so the story of periodic driving appeared to be true!

Our new 2015 2015 Golf SportWagen SEL (with DSG) had 183 miles when we picked it up. I've added just over 80 since activating the insurance. It does appear the fob batteries are low already. Anyone else having the same issue?

They were supposed to change it, if you live close to the dealership you can go back but I would suggest just buying the battery and replacing it yourself, I did mine recently and took all but few minutes.

Got mine with 162 miles on it about 2 weeks ago, I have about 1050 miles on it now.

Key battery almost dead on mine, dealer is supposed to have mailed a replacement along with the "roadside assistance kit" that was listed on the window sticker but absent from the car.

Thanks. I was planning on doing it myself, so this is helpful. My 2013 had the same issue recently.

The ones I looked at yesterday all had over 200-salesman said they needed miles put on in order to reset the monitors so it could pass NYS inspection. They only had DSG's left in any model-I saw a Passat,Golf, and a few Sportwagens,but I don't know how many they had in back. I took a white GSW for a test drive w/DSG.

 

[deming]

I purchased a new 2015 Sportwagen S tonight with 50 miles on the clock.
Batteries in my two key fobs need to be replaced. Car is awesome to drive !!
Great deal.

42 miles on mine, a 2015 Passat TDI SE w/DSG. Got it from Jeff Griffin at Executive Volkswagen in North Haven, CT (Jeff, by the way, is one of the two easiest auto sales people I've dealt with in my lifetime). They have more.

Jeff told me the dealership had not done any periodic driving of the cars over the two years; however, the lot is paved and the car had been thoroughly checked out by the mechanics according to a protocol that VW had imposed. It looks like I got new tires--no flat spots! Car looks, feels and smells like a new car. I'm very pleased.

 

[ALL4AMD]

Mine had 84

 

[tdidieselbobny]

My GSW had 206 miles on it today when I picked it up....

 

[sloinker]

Picked mine up yesterday. Black wagon with DSG, S model. $26,635 minus $1,000 from the dealership and $5000 from VW. 72 payments @ $297 and zero interest. 79 miles on the clock. Have no idea if the oil is 3 years old or new. Same with the tires. The car looks and smells new. I pulled the dipstick and the oil is crystal clear but that probably means nothing. Happy with the deal. Happy with the car too. My daughter and wife have abandoned their own vehicles to drive the new one. I still have my '15 Passat w/6MT until the 30th of this month when I turn it in. I started looking for a replacement and ended up with another TDI....go figure.

 

[kevkor2002]

53 iirc.

in 18 days of driving I'm up to 2900 miles All mixed driving and getting around 44-46 per my manual calculations.

Last couple of tanks I've played more with the manual shifting and 'S' mode.

 

[Blue_Hen_TDI]

Mine had 750 miles on it, so I went over it like a border agent on Breaking Bad. I satisfied myself that it had no issues, but I hemmed and hawed to the dealer until they knocked an additional $500 off the $7500 they were already offering. So, purchased a $26,8xx car for $18,8xx at 0% with an 11 year warranty and have put another 300 miles on it in three days, averaging 55.3 mpg on the instrument cluster since the dealer fueled it for me. Couldn't be happier to own an example of the last of the TDI in the US.

 

[pmoulton5018]

Mine has 39k got it about a year and a half. Bought it with 63

 

[kevkor2002]

I average about 150 miles per day during the week. Its been a very happy purchase so far! A big step up interms of comfort and quietness. Its a decent step up in terms of MPGs. Happy motoring

so who knows what the tank capacity is on these GSWs? my GSW had just over 100 miles on it when I picked it up and it now has 2800 miles or so.

i've been filling up between 4-500 miles at 1/4 tank and have struggled to get over 10 gallons in it. fill it till it clicks off, then nurse fuel into it until liquid oozes out of the misfuel adapter thing. (too many years topping of MK4s I suppose)

I guess I need to know how much further I can go before I refill without fear of running out.

Unfortunately, we have the same size tank as the regular Golf: 13.2 gallons.

Without the old tricks like ventectomies, you're looking at usable capacity of 11-12 gallons (I've never managed to fit 12 in my GTI, even halfway into the red zone) if leaving yourself a safety margin for your HPFP.

I long for the old 25 gallon reservoir in my B4V.

They should have given us 18 gallons.

I guess that makes for cheap fill ups, but I am a little sad I cannot go 6-700 miles on a tank any more.. means I fill up every weekend instead of every two weeks like I could in my mk4 just so I dont have to deal with it during the week while commuting.

oh well, Ill get used to it.

 

[JDM Mike 02]

Picked up my '15 Golf SE this past Tuesday night, it had 59 miles on the clock. Looked/smelled new inside and out, I've bought my wife several brand new cars over the years but this is my first. Wish it was manual but the DSG is growing on me, paddle shifters are fun.

 

[The Tortoise]

I really wish the Canadian TDI's came with paddle shifters. This is something I may add down the road.

 

[jMone83]

Drove off the lot with 78 miles on it.
