    If VW buys back your JSW, what will you replace it with?

    The more I thought about the debacle, the more pissed I got. So I’m going for the buyback. The replacement is a 2014 Audi S4. 30K+ of existing Factory Warranty. Every time I drive it I have an ear-to-ear grin. Check out the youtube reviews. In every driving review the reviewer smiles when...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    2015 GSW TDI cruise control disengaging

    My cruise control has disengaged 3 or 4 times on me. If memory serves they all happened when it was raining or wet out. Not 100% sure though. It’s been maybe 3 months since it’s happened. I’m at 20,XXX miles.

    Performance

    I installed the DTUK box this morning. So far, so good. I’ve only tried level 1 & 2+2, which pulls nicely. Still more testing to be done.
