And the approval is official!


Still goes back to on bought back cars anything over 10k/year, salvage title, and bad cosmetic damage gets crushed, but still it's good news!

Mother of god... The dream has become a reality. Get fix, collect restitution, "un-fix" car with said restitution, drive until the wheels fall off.

Manuals are much harder to control emissions.. That is a main reason why most dont offer it anymore. Low sales + extra emissions expense means not worth it.

I just called and had my account changed from buyback to fix. Had not sent in my docs yet. I've been patiently waiting for this news. Love my TDI.

You forgot the "void whatever warranty offered" part.

Some may not care if they are driving the wheels off, but some might not want to bank the payoff for the HPFP repair that's waiting for them just to undo the fix.

Or if the fix is good enough, skip the un-fix step and spend the money on something else.

Meh, we don't need no stinkin' warranty. Take the money, slap on a cp3, and tune to our hearts content . Life is good.

CP3 pump upgrade would be included in supporting mods.

You have a point flargabarg but the stock emissions components have a finite lifespan and I never planned to put new ones on when they died.

10k a year?? So a 2013 like mine with more than 40k miles gets crushed? That's insane.

Also, no word on performance degradation.
Letter says no change in performance.

Upon completion of the emissions modification, other than as described in this letter, customers should not notice any adverse changes in vehicle reliability, durability, or vehicle performance (for example, 0-60 mph time, top speed, etc.).

Yeah, I know the letter says that, I'd just like to hear some real world field data from owners.

Excellent news that I'm very happy to see. Not having these cars on the road would put a huge dent in the community for the TDI enthusiasts. These 09+ cars for what they are, are simply great cars.

I don't know about you, but I'd ride out the included warranty first. Then if it turns out you have big high mile problems they will be on Volkswagen's nickel instead of yours. It's your car and your money, though. I'm the sort of person who has replaced catalytic converters on more than one car, and not minded that it's the dues for having cleaner air for all of us.

I agree that is probably the best choice. Still trying to figure out the extended warranty after the fix. My car is currently just over 7 years old and has 150,000 miles on it.

OR -


5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date and mileage of Phase 1 of the emissions modification. At the time of the subsequent Phase 2 modification, the extended warranty will be honored for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date and mileage of the completion of Phase 2.


The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or “company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service."

^ That is for generation 3 only. Gen 2 automatic transmission is 4 yrs 48,000 mi past the time that the fix is installed, which is what was in the consent decree. Gen 1 should be the same.
