I received a scam email telling me that my computer and router had been hacked and all the disgusting porno I watch will be sent to everyone in my address book. lol. At least that's what I think it said - it was in Katakana and Google Translate is sketchy. Their evidence is the login email...

EDIT: it went to the landfill.

There never was a plain "sunroof" option on the JSW. The only roof modification was the panoramic sunroof and it was only factory installed. What the hell did she think a "big roof package" was? A popup camper? I think you need to escalate your complaint. The CSR was clearly poorly trained.

They paid me extra I was paid the "base amount" with no modifiers. It wound up being $60 more than what I'd calculated using the diesel settlement calculator, because they didn't debit me for the manual transmission and credit me for the panoramic sunroof, I guess. If your car was loaded...

Just to follow up - I uploaded my acceptance on the 4th. It was accepted on the 5th, and the earliest appointment in my area available was the 22nd, which I took. Regarding the uploaded document, we have a fancy printer at work that double-side scans from a feeder into a single document. I set...

Doubtful. The 2009 - 2014 was MkV. 2015 is MkVII. The contact points of the barrier are very specific. It has two arms that hook into floor tiedowns that are of an exact shape and location.

Just to clarify, I'm willing to ship the pet barrier. The other stuff is available for cheap, local pickup

Hey all - I'm wondering about the typical timeline of the buyback. I received an email two days ago saying that my uploaded documents have been preliminarily approved. About how far out should I expect my turn-in appointment to be, and what has been the typical timeline for the Bosch payment?

VW OEM cargo / pet barrier. Works with pano roof, unlike Travall. The top half of this guy: https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen__/Cargo-Partition---Not-for-USA---Black/54005743/1K9017221.html. Paid $320. Works fantastic. $150 + shipping because this is a discontinued item and good luck...

Okay thanks guys. I checked cars.com and there are two TDI S sportwagens with manual transmission at my closest dealer for a pretty darned good price. If I want to travel 300+ miles there are some GSW SEs with manual and pano roof. Not sure I want to do the whole fly out and drive back...

Hey guys - is there anywhere online where I can check local inventory of 2015 TDIs? Also for those who have bought one - how is the engine performance after the fix?

When I say I looked at the Niro, I mean I went to the dealer and had them open the hatch. There's hardly any length to the cargo area behind the rear seats. No room for one big dog, let alone two. I'm also interested in the 2018 Chevy Equinox. Diesel engine coming later this year...

I've looked at a bunch of cars. Nothing hits all the checkmarks that the Sportwagen did. I need in sorta descending order: sufficient rear compartment for two large dogs, not too big to fit into our garage (which is a little short), manual transmission unless a hybrid or simply not findable...

I've had the car back for over a week now. No additional fault codes. Looks like the new wiring harness did the trick. Hopefully this will be the end of the issues that started with the turbo failure. Turbo failure --> bent rod --> new engine --> re-used, probably damaged in...

There's been a substantial price differential between diesel and gas since 2008 when I started paying attention. I'm still waiting on that swing. I'm thinking the price differential is structural.

I'm starting to think that. It's a nice car, but ultimately it's a VW and it's looking like it's going to have VW problems. It isn't like it's 2008 and it's the only car on the market that ticks off all the boxes any more. The now permanent price differential with diesel is making the newer...

DPF replaced, got the car back, and a day later the glow plug light comes on blinking and the car goes into failsafe mode (loss of power, no turbo.) I take it back in and it's throwing intermittent codes. They check all the grounding points - they're fine so they tell me. Upshot - internal...

Can you point me to information about the newer version? Part number or some other way to distinguish it from the older version? Thanks!

Hi all, long time no see. This TDI Sportwagen owner experience keeps getting better and better. At 23K, turbo fails, sucks all the oil out of the engine and bends a rod. New turbo, new engine. Now, at 43k, the DPF needs replacement. It probably should have been replaced when the turbo...

They mentioned that it was difficult to check compression with oil everywhere. I'm not a mechanic, so my bs detector is uncalibrated for this. It does seem like they put the turbo on, threw it out the door and hoped for the best. In software terms, that would be using your customers as beta...
