I turned my car in back in December 2016 before Christmas. Should I be calling them and asking what is going on?

You don't say how many miles are on it. The DPF is covered under Federal Emissions Warranty. I had mine replaced for free before it was sold back to VW with over 60K on it.

Are you running E85 in it? That is really low. Hasn't it been really cold in IL lately? With the extra warm-up time that would make MPG drop also.

Turned in after 1600 on 12/30 I would say is not a countable day. Weekend days are not business days. 1/2 is recognized as a holiday since 1/1 fell on a Sunday. If you count the three business days I wouldn't expect to hear anything before 1/5 or 1/6. However, in my case I turned mine in on...

Final off made today and sent back.

If the other party is at fault I would fight with their insurance to get what the VW buyback would be for you vehicle.

Isn't federal emissions warranty 8yr 80k?

This isn't just old news, it is very old news that is cycling through a slow news cycle of another way to bash VW. I read about this at least six months ago.

meerschm- Do you have the number of this tech bulletin? I have a feeling a war is getting ready to start with my dealer.

A wiper arm puller is a cheap tool and absolutely works without flaw. I have used mine several times working on the Mother In Law's and Wife's Chrysler vans. Need to remove the wiper arms and what I call a bowl to get reasonable access to the firewall side of the engine.

I would put a fresh battery in the FOB. Mine has proven sensitive to a low battery at least three times. Replaced the battery and all of the problems I was having went away.

So you are saying in the afternoon when I park my car usually for the day and there is no rust on the rotor and come out the next morning and there are rust spots on it that my calipers are failing? I live in Tidewater, VA and it is a high humidity area. Every car I have owned since moving...

Many dealers give lifetime warranty on a repair you pay for. Even if you only paid part of it, I would think it should fall under that warranty if the dealer you went to has that policy.

I would push back at the dealer that the problem is getting worse. I had a similar with the lock module going bad and it was goodwill covered by VW because it was reported before everything stopped working on the driver's door. I see you spend time in Suffolk, VA. If you would like a scan...

You say you are in the used car business. Don't even try to play the victim! You knew what you were buying.

I would like to know if he has a source also. I happen to believe he is right about reliability being a problem though even if it is his own personal opinion.

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16683/P0299/000665 Here are troubleshooting steps from the Ross Tech site. I would pay particular attention to the part at the bottom about the CR-TDI and the exhaust flap known problem potentially causing this code. If you search this site for that...

Search the forums for PROTHE. There are plenty of threads about him on TDI CLub. Cheap parts and catastrophic failures.

Is the ground post on the battery itself loose? It looks like the battery case is cracked around the ground post in your picture. If it does move, then it is definitely a bad battery. If it doesn't it could still be broken internally and be bad.
