Thanks for this info. Exactly what I was looking for.

Dead for you maybe.......I'm currently looking at buying a new car. So climb back under your rock for another 6 months. And where I live our power is produced by hydro so it isn't a concern to me.

Wow! Just wasted too much time reading 10 pages where most of it is bashing and BS. Hoping to get details or opinions on buying an electric car to replace my TDI but guess I should look for a new site. I personally don't care how my electricity was made and here in Canada plugs in garages and...

Yes luckily I came across someone's post directing me to that page. Thanks

Agree with your reply but.........if there wasn't so much BS in this thread and it was strictly about facts on Canadian scandal I'm sure everyone would read each post. I just logged on for first time in awhile and seems like endless pages of useless banter and not too many facts. But that's...

Yup I would consider buying one again. That is if the economy is similar and reliability is good. No I don't like being lied to but it happens in all our day to day lives and just hope VW mans up and makes me a happy VW customer again. PS I'm sure my F250 spews more pollutants on start up than...

I personally am hoping for a buyout because my 2013 Passat is at 65,000km overdue for DSG service and running out of warranty. Even if no scandal I would be looking to trade this car in soon as I work out of town lots and need a "reliable" car on warranty for the wife because she drives Hwy...

I prefer to do most maintenance myself. Well I didn't get free service while on warranty up here in Canada so made the choice easier. My Passat was in dealership for over two weeks and hate to think of what could be wrong. I hope you found everything that they missed.

Well 14+ days in dealership for turbo,oil pump and catilitic converter replacement and now back. Fan worked on way home last night from dealer. This am wife takes to work and no fan for the 40 min hey drive. Went out 15 minutes and videotaped for dealer and still no fan. 3 hours later went out...

Crappy pics but that's what they sent. [/URL][/IMG] Trying to add pic from turbo failure. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Well been 14 days in dealership so far. New turbo came in from Germany and they replaced oil pump also. Noticed lots of oil in exhaust and into catalytic converter so they have now ordered one and should be here Monday. He is also figuring will need some sensors as will be oil fouled. And...

Thanks guys. Will try.

Yea I don't pay them for oil changes. This will be free or nothing. Will try to get ahold of VW Canada next week.

I have read the first 20 pages but maybe someone can give me their advice. My turbo "blew" last week and when I asked if they are changing my oil the service rep says for $120 they can. I figure that should be covered under warranty with the turbo change to make sure no FOD in the oil. They...

I agree must be excess humidity in car. Are floor mats wet? Or frozen and then when warm up a bit wet and causing excess moisture. Up here in Manitoba when it is -30 and I wash our car or bring it in heated garage it fogs up instantly on inside when put outside. Need to crack windows or leave...

Link dosnt work on my phone but will give a try on my computer. Also had those fuse box washers/whatever done while new block heater install. All went well and seems to work. I didn't take it in for the pre-recall where they glue the flap ****. Figured it to be waste of time and don't want to...

Weathertech's are awesome. Never move around. Trunk liner fits like a glove. Will never go back summer or winter.

Same issue I had with tire rack and 1010tire. No steelies for my passat. Ended up getting 16" alloys so I'm not just swapping the rubber. Night and day over the Hancraps

Better snow tires. We have snow here and my car dosnt even spin with my Nokian snow tires. I waited until after first snow to switch wheels so I could feel the difference once again. Good set of winter tires perform better than my F250 in 4x4.
