    FYI - Got a letter from VW today

    My letter also includes a reimbursement form for any expenses incurred before the policy change. Any idea if this letter would go to former owners who have since sold their VW? Someone could have shelled out $$$ and might not realize that VW is willing to pay them back.

    I got mine back today with a $575 bill. While it could have been a much more expensive repair without VW good will, I am still not happy that such an expensive part fails just over 60k miles. When I was paying I overheard tech calling a customer saying the an add blue repair was needed for a...

    UNOFFICIAL Adblue Heater Element Failure Thread

    VW customer care said they would cover the parts and the dealer would discount the labor. I was told it would take the original $1760 quote down to about $530. Dealer said they would need a couple of days to get parts. Now they say they need a couple of weeks. I didn't want a loaner so I have my...

    New shoes! ContiPureEco

    Has anyone had any experience with cooper tires on the passat. I have had good luck with them on other vehicles. There may have been a mileage reduction associated with coopers though.

    40K service checklist

    My dealership quoted me $530 for my 6m. I haven't been happy with them to begin with so there is no way I will go there for the 40k.

    Failed for me. Sounds even worst than before. I will be flipping it back and adding insulation.

    FIXED: 2012 Passat Microphone Quality

    I just did the mod. Hopefully it improves things. Btw, I found it odd that there was no insulation or some kind of sound barrier between console and roof sheet metal. Off to the left or right of the console I saw foam insulation. Curious if rain and wind hitting up against roof is magnified into...

    So I go into my dealer for my 20k service and the diesel only sticker recall. As soon as he starts writing me up I say I think they missed the adblue at 10k. He gets all high and mighty saying that's impossible and if I idle a lot the full tank can be used in 10k. He is clearly insulted that I...
