    Anyone buy an extended warranty?

    First of all, I'm not bragging - I was sharing information as to what I paid, so that others (who are considering) an extended warranty can negotiate with their dealers or buy from Chris. I think it is worse for those that post here about how crappy it is to buy an extended warranty. At least...

    2012+ Passat TDI: What did you pay?

    Just picked up a 2013 TDI SEL PREM at 31K, it was more than 8% off MSRP (msrp=33,745). Also bought extended warranty (platinum) for 6yr/100K for 1829 (still deciding if we'll keep that). And financing through PenFed at .99% for 60 months (or .49% for 48 months).

    I put unleaded gasoline in my TDI - now what?

    So guys - I paid $410 for the repairs. The dealer matched the other dealer's price. I still think I was ripped off, however.... what they did was drain out the tank, replace the filters and a gasket. yadda yadda yaddda. $410. I did not have them replace the fuel pump, which would have...

    How-To: Defuel 09 Jetta after misfuel

    Quick question - I just got a call from my dealer. He said that VofA recommends that they put in a new fuel pump (at $380). Even though the car was never started after the unleaded gas was pumped into the car (3.22 gallons only), that's what they recommend. Do you guys think I should pass on...

    I put unleaded gasoline in my TDI - now what?

    OK, question that hopefully you guys can answer (quickly)!!!! The dealership just called me, they are charging $410, which is fine. However, they said that VofA technical support said to replace the fuel pump in addition, which would be another $384. Question - does this need to be done, or...

    I put unleaded gasoline in my TDI - now what?

    Today I pulled into a Shell station with my new TDI. I 'thought' I was paying attention and I pulled up to the pump. Someone else pulled in behind me - so I looked at the pump ahead and thought I saw a green pump, so I pulled ahead. I promptly started to fill my tank and after 3 gallons, I...
