I think I got this right. I'm getting hit for the mileage, man. 2015 Golf SEL, 56,000 miles Base: $29,546 Mileage adjustment: 9X1042=9,378 , 56,000-9378= 47,622 Adjustment=$2,040 29,546-2,040=$27,506 buyback Loan amount remaining: $18,570 Amount I'll have in pocket: $8,936 Am I getting this...

Exactly my sentiments

I'm in the same situation. Exactly. I have a 15' Golf with 35K. I don't want a car that runs differently or gets less MPG. But I also hate the idea that this car is polluting more than it should. And I hate the idea that VW screwed over it's customers and workers this way.

Selling a mint VW TDI SEL with DSG auto transmission. Private sale. On cars.com for $24,800 (obo)Loaded. Been dealer maintained. Runs amazing. Fun to drive. No problems. Ever. Comes with 100,000 extended VW Gold Warranty which was purchased with car. AND it comes with extra set of Wheels and 8...

"I've written VW and response was that there are plans for any upgrade." Wait. Are you saying that VW told you there ARE plans to upgrade? Or did the post have a typo?

Yeah. Can't hurt to try and see. Car is mint and I DO love it...Just feel a little bummed about this whole thing ...and I usually change cars every couple years anyway. Might be a good time...or not :) Might grab a used glk250 to replace it.

I'm aware of the official discussion about emissions... but this seemed like a fairly specific topic/question and I think warrants a separate thread considering the users of this particular forum.

I was thinking of selling it if the market is hot for them right now.

So. In light of the VW emissions debacle, anyone care to weigh in on what the resale value will be for TDIs? Will it plummet or maybe even increase since no used or new TDI's can be sold through dealers? I got a 2015 TDI SEL, which I love...Just wondering.

OK so situation resolved. And I have a feeling this may be important since I was told that what was wrong was not "caused" by anything I did or driving. So, it may end up being "a thing." So there are apparently TWO sensors/igniters. One near the belt tensioner and at the other end of the...

Haha. Makes sense. Update: The dealership has been great but it's frustrating. VW says their are only 2 parts in the USA. One in NJ and one in Milwaukee. I have to wait for this wiring part to come in...Maybe 4 more days! So it's been about 10 days..Could be TWO weeks over this stupid little...

Update: "Bad wiring" Ordering new wire harness for sensor in seat and seatbelt. Hope this is the fix.

Airbag Warning/Failure - VW stumped for a week- In loaner still Just a courtesy post to fellow 15' Golf TDI drivers. Noticed that airbag warning was showing that BOTH airbags were not working. Took car in for 30k service, Inspection sticker, and troubleshoot. Was told code showed I needed new...

Meh. Probably. Yeah. I'd say 5. Significant enough difference so yeah. I'd say. 3-5ish 0r 4-7ish. Before It was tough to get over 475 for a tank. Now there have been times where I get 525-550.

I have a 15 Golf TDi SEL. Got a flat within a month with 18s. Also thought the ride was harsh. Swapped out with a fellow TDI club guy. I took his 16s and some cash for 18s. Amazing difference! The ride quality is significantly better. Also, I am a driving enthusiast and love a great handling...
