Good info Tim, thanks. Yes, i forgot how small the injectors are on a diesel. That definitely gives me some relief. I may email VW anyway. Worst that can happen is they say no. Maybe ill get lucky and have an extended powertrain warranty for free.

i agree. Great commuter car but will still hold 4-5 people with ease or 15 bags of mulch!

Ok, we just got the car back today. Of course, it was on empty. We called VOA and they are mailing us a $50 visa card. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_y2poGjBe-tRk8wRFp2dGRMV00/edit?usp=sharing This is the link for the repair invoice. It ended up totalling $5300. I noticed they...

We just have regular diesel here in Memphis. Car is supposed to be ready Wednesday. I'll scan the service receipt when I get it

Well, we finally heard back from the dealer. Dead fuel pump. It's ordered and should arrive next week. Is there anything else i need to ask for or be aware of that might be a future issue from a blown fuel pump? Could it have sent any shrapnel into the lines or engine? Update: Got a minute...

What happened when the fuel pump died? I was driving my wife's '12 this weekend and it died about 1 minute after startup while idling at a light. It felt like it ran out of fuel to me and i recall a slight clatter as it died. Im concerned when you said it sprayed metal shrapnel through the...

thanks! i had actually typed the whole **** post out and accidentally clicked some little button on the side of my mouse which took the webpage back so i had to RETYPE the whole thing lol. I was kind of perturbed and in a hurry after that. yes exactly. Unfortunately, it was the VOA roadside...

I live in memphis... people here will steal anything, working or not !

My wife and i kind of did the same thing. She previously had an audi S4 six speed and was kind of tired of the stickshift (i dont understand but whatever). I can say that for an automatic, i really enjoy and am impressed with the DSG although i would still have preferred a manual trans. It's...

jetlagmech, thank you, i re-read the title and see how it could be interpreted as "dsg died", i meant to give info on the car type so i edited that to clarify. It was the engine that died while idling at at a stoplight. Good news! the dealer found the car, the tow company had dumped it on a...

2012 Passat DSG - engine died shortly after start up. added repair invoice Car info: 2012 Passat DSG with approx 18,000 miiles on it. Dealer serviced car. It had about half a tank of fuel in it when it died. We usually let the fuel light come on before fueling it up. We had just pulled out of...

is afarfalla still complaining? good grief. he reminds me of grumpy cat...

so how are you getting an extra 600 miles out of 1 more gallon? i stop at the click, thats consistent.

you are right. i work for a large rental company. The manufacturers used to produce several million excess vehicles that were sold to rental, fleet and government agencies at stupid cheap prices. Our new car costs have skyrocketed as well.

well, my sales rep told me and my wife that the car didnt have glow plugs... go figure.

Happy with my DSG considering it's an auto. Really wanted the manual trans but the wife had an audi S4 manual before and got stuck on a hill just a few weeks before we got the passat. Sure, you can confuse it, it isnt quite as perfect as a manual trans but it's as close as you can get right...

Im getting 38.9mpg and approx 600 miles per tank (just refilling when the light comes on). That is with 60-70% city driving/short trips so i am not complaining at all.

why fill up at all? im hiring an 18 wheeler and am going to have it direct pump into my tank

looks great!

yeah i understand what he is saying but name one turbo car that comes with a timer of any kind installed from the factory? there isnt one i know of and probably for some liability or legal reason. It would be nice to at least know when a regen cycle is starting and its estimated time to...
