Well, I took it and and got it back the same day. Turns out it was a "failed" exhaust bracket, nothing more… well I'm glad that's all it was, but feel kinda sheepish for how big of deal I was making it (what else is new in my life? hah.) Also good that it was marked to be taken care of under...

Alright. Sorry it took so long but here are some vids (audio is more important) and thankfully the sound does come through, despite the normal engine sounds. I did two and even though they're about a minute or less a piece, I didn't edit them...

Thanks for the responses. I'm fairly positive— I test drove several TDI JSWs the day I bought mine, and I may be getting my wires crossed. I stopped by the dealership this morning on my way to work and filled them in. Hopefully I'll get a response today. Yes, I'm hoping to get it all worked...

Greetings, all. Just bought a 2012 Sportwagen TDI as my new daily. Hoping to wrench on it after a while—not so much for modding, but for maintenance. Not new to car work, just new to VWs; and by all accounts their tolerances are quite tighter than what I'm used to, so I'm going to take it easy...
