    2.0 Gen 1 post fix impressions, issues, etc.

    Reporting back after 1st partial fill since the Fix. Decided to fill up after 470 mi and I hand calculated at 39.8.

    2.0 Gen 1 post fix impressions, issues, etc.

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

    Before bought a Tdi I test drove a 3 and was not impressed, the biggest fault I found was the steering was too quick with oversteer. I felt it would be much more comfortable driving the jetta longer distances from a handling standpoint. I was right I like the handling of my mk6. Sent from my...

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

    Maybe already posted but this dealer says it well. The fallout will be much worse than us owners, it will be from all the lost jobs real people will have to endure, just hope they find work soon. It is hard to believe software engineers thought they could get away with this in this day of hacks...

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

    People get so bent out of shape over this, funny! Compared to the emissions most other vehicles have in the past and many presently around the world. These are much better even if not as good as advertised, you can chose to get the recall done "flash" or not. At least it may help with future...

    Curt Hitch Info

    Thanks to tjdeerslayer37 I just installed Curt hitch C11410. Had a problem trying to line up outboard frame holes and had to take it down and grind down the top of frame mount plates approximately 1/8", maybe due to my 2012. It is tight fit, but once you get it up in there I think it is good...

    Shopping For Used MKVI Jetta TDI: What to Look For?

    Hi, new member here with new to me VW Jetta Tdi 2012. I think that is pretty good deal for 16k, I paid a little more, but I still waited for about a month to get them down, luckily no one else took it. Depends on the area and dealer for turnover. From what can tell is manuals are always harder...
