Lucky for them, mine wouldn't. Not good to hear that the TSB didn't fix the issue. I tried to go through 338 pages but there was so much banter about nothing that I couldn't find the needle in the hay stack.

This happened to me a couple days ago and the dealer found water in the intercooler. I got the car started but not after some trouble. Thought it was a bad battery issue or starter issue I was dealing with. There is 77K on my 2011 TDI and the TSB won't be covered under warranty. There were...

I had been averaging about 42mpg last fall in similar temps on 100 mile round trip. Granted the vehicle was brand new then and its got 15k on it now. Not sure if this is signs the motor is breaking in or what. I was tickled pink that I saw these numbers on my commute home after a fill up. I...

Basically just don't baby the damn thing.

first tank I got 39mpg, 2nd tank I got 42.6mpg driving the exact same route. Think there was a little break in there? hahaha Following the break in procedure still. 1200 miles on it.

I filled up for the first time 2 days ago at 525 miles on the tank which averaged out to about 39.5mpg. I haven't been babying it and haven't been pounding the snot out of it either. Just getting onto it after leaving stop lights and varying rpm. Hopefully it just keeps getting better. 39.5...

Burnsville VW was a pleasure to work with. I made the insurance claim and had it hauled to one of the dealerships body shops. Signed off on the repair and after the claim was processed I went and picked up the Golf. It could have been a real ugly mess of paperwork to deal with, they could...

Today's trip in. Up .6 mpg from yesterday to 44.1mpg. And that's with me accelerating hard from about half the stop lights on my 49 mile trip into work. I can definitely live with 44mpg. Anything over the EPA 42 its rated at is a damn nice perk. Its also nice seeing 300 miles on a half tank...

Just got my 2011 Golf and got this on the way into work. Its 75-80% highway and the rest city driving. I did not have the cruise set and was varying the speed/rpm for the break in process. 55mpg on posted roads and 65-70 in the 65mph roads. Varying about 5mph as i drove into work. This is...

Thanks for the info. **** you deer. On my way into work this morning I hit a decent buck. Was taking off at noon to go to the VW dealership to get my golf and give this to them... not so much anymore. Soooo tired of dealing with this random **** that keeps happening to me.

BYE BYE WRX! Picking up the Golf tomorrow. You were fun and will be missed but damn it your bar tab was to expensive!

What speed are you driving? Any hypermilling to get that or is it just hopping on a free-way and setting the cruise?

Great, what the hell did I just get myself into. Has this issue been resolved on the 2011+ Golfs? I live in MN and can see this becoming a huge issue.

I wonder if a dealership would actually do that. I'll have to try that approach when I go pick mine up later this week.

I have a couple bottles of ZDDP sitting around that I use in my 1970 Dodge Dart to help protect the cam and lifters because of the reduced ZDDP content in the oils. Is this something I should add to the oil in the 2011 Golf TDI i just bought?

yep, I was readying the process earlier today. Sounds like after 1k on the clock I can start the spirited driving!! Not beating the piss out of it, just giving it a few legs stretches and throw in a couple hard workouts. I've never understood why people baby any new motors. If you don't seat...

Ever find yourself missing the WRX? Its a damn fun car to drive and I would love to keep it but pumping premium into it twice a week costs $$$, as your well aware. I might as well be driving something that got great MPG if I'm going to be buying expensive fuel. I totally agree on the Focus...

Damn, this would have been a great way to meet the local TDI crowd and learn a bunch. I'll keep my eyes open for next time if there is one.

I'm now a owner of a 2011 Golf TDI. I traded in my 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX because I need something that gets better fuel economy then 25mpg. Long story short I ordered a 2012 Focus Titanium and the dealership screwed up the order and it came with the wrong wheels. I walked away from the deal...
