Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not but here it goes. I am starting to see the 2012 - 2015 TDI Passats showing up in Dealership lots across the country. Not sure how long this has been occuring. VW is giving these a 2 year 24,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Just...

Sold. Thanks!

Yes the card has been activated. I have already spent the $500 non-dealership debit card.

So it is non-transferable? If this is the case, I will have to sell it to someone local and I will meet them at the dealership to ensure that the transaction will work.

I have the $500 Gift Card that from the VW Goodwill Promotion that is redeemable at any VW dealership on parts, service work or as a down payment on a new vehicle. I do not own a VW any longer so I cannot use this card and am offering it for sale. I am looking to get $400 for the card. $100...

Great tip, thanks!

I am in somewhat of a pickle here. My 2012 Passat was totaled recently and I have not had a chance to use my $500 dealership card. We are probably not going to buy a new Passat at this time due to the value of my 2012 being much lower than I had hoped for. I am now stuck with this dealership...

How far does the power train warranty go to? Did VW extend this due to the known turbo issue? If so, how far? TIA!

Performed the DSG service, new air filter, DEF top off and new fuel filter this weekend with no problems. Fuel filter very easy: unbolted, removed old filter, added new filter, topped off housing with PS. Cranked right up. Get the VW 1/2 gal adblue bottle for the DEF. Great design and...

Great. Thanks.

Got it. Much thanks.

Starting the DSG service on my 2012 Passat. There is one bolt that connects the battery tray to the air box that has a star shaped rubber top. Not sure how to remove this "bolt" with a rubber top. Any help here would be much appreciated. Those of you that have done the DSG service will know...

Interesting story. We went from a brand new 2011 Pilot to a 2012 Passat TDI. The tranny went out on the Pilot at 5k. Ok, random event. Got an extended warranty out of it. Then at 7k, the r&p steering went out. Ok, not random. Incompetent dealership destroying r&p during tranny install...

Plan on doing this tomorrow on my 2012. The only thing that I am unsure of is getting the airbox out of the way. After watching this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMbchti7Qjo I have a better idea on how to get it out of the way. I know its a Jetta but looks identical to my Passat...
