    Long Time - Back w Q - Which TDI Would You Choose?

    Long Time - Back w Q - Which TDI Would You Choose?

    For her... She is stuck on the beetle... She says "it's cute". Did they put the TSI in the beetle? I loved my 2003 ALH Beetle 5 speed. Now I drive a Rivian 😂. It was TDI that got me hooked on torque. Now I have 908 lb ft and quad electric motors 😎 Daughter refuses to drive an EV.

    If I can't have a VW TDI - I'm going full electric

    Everyone has their own opinion and I don't let it bother me. I'm doing well with my Hyundai. I'm happy with my choice to go to a plug-in hybrid. 15,000 miles into the ownership.

    1 Gallon of VW Coolant 1 small bottle of DEF 1 Air filter All of these were purchased for my 2015 Golf TDI SEL which was turned in to VW back on 12/23/2016. If nobody wants them I will toss them during spring cleaning.

    How long after buyback closing is a bank loan paid off?

    This is so aggravating. I called VW claims on 1/4/2017 that they told me "lein holder payment received" was the status as of 12/29/2016 at 9pm. They contacted VW for a tracking number and told me that I should call back as they don't know how long it will take VW to respond to them. I did my...
