well after 96K and 6.5 years the battery the car rolled off the lot in 2017 needs to be replaced... what has everyone put in their cars? i've always been a lowest spec possible kinda guy

I just had the dealer do mine, WP, etc about 2K with "15%" off. all in all not upset, OE parts, would be frustrated if an aftermarket part failed

I had my TB/WP and all associated parts done at a VW dealer with a "15%" discount and it was 2K. I figured 2K every 5-6 years isnt a bad deal, I've done all over maintenance myself including oil changes. OE water pump at VW ~ 460!!

this is the same issue i had never a code on it tho.. mine was related to oil pressure the final "fix" was something obstructing the flow. was to the dealer 7? times totaling 4 months. started at 55k and they "fixed" it a year ago at low 70's. my problem only happened on a cold engine on a...

knock on wood just turned 86k on mine and despite me smelling coolant(likely a water pump) and 7 trips to the dealer for a mystery problem that seems to be remedied.. I wouldnt change cars for anything.

I seriously doubt it.. dealer services religiously. Mine is about 85k 5.5 years in and i'll keep it stock through the 11/162 which with my current commute will more or less hit it on the head. i've tried to convince friends this is the best daily out there. one is driving a 200k manual FJC...

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/c7ee9d2e-d3cf-411f-888b-f97019f1c847/ dealer serviced to boot! i'd love to see another long hauler get it and see how far these components last!

few small issues... first, sometimes the driver auto down/up doesnt work. No big deal, very minor annoyance. Lately the car does not see the key in the car to start or turn off, sometimes several minutes locking unlocking opening closing the door clutch in clutch out. frustrating esp when...

in a strange way it is the car i am most attached to and we have an interesting collection. I can't see myself parting ways with it. Being a manual the value stays strong

The day these went back on sale I rounded up the wife and at the time my son and we went to the dealer outside philly in our(her) jetta. They had 3, decided on blue and put down a deposit. She couldn't understand my urgency. While we were there another guy walked in and put a deposit down and...

if im close to 70k should I wait? benefits?

thanks, fortunately I am in a metro area, unfortunately I have not had a good dealer experience here or Albany NY where we came from before. The dealer closest to where I work in north jersey tried to schedule me weeks out for warranty work. VW of shrewsbury where I ended up bringing it didn't...

My car has been to two different dealers 3 times for warranty work. One at maybe 30K and the other two at 50 or so. I have inquired every time about the phase 2 fix and it feels like the dealer just doesn't want to deal with it. The last time he gave me a number to call. Car now has 63k on...

I have as many unsolicited offers to sell mine as i get on my S2000... There was a white one on CL here a few months back stick and all.. don't think they knew what they had I wanted to buy and flip

hand calculated. I don't find the MFI to be terribly inaccurate though. I lost 15-20% on my R56 cooper with just the bars and bike bits up there, adding bikes took even more.

Filled up yesterday, pretty incredible to me with a box whistling on the roof and a bike on the back. I had a hybrid fusion and the bike rack put highway mileage into the high 20's!

they must right? worth a call at least. sign says they've been in business since 1968. I've moved around a ton so i've never been anywhere long enough to have a good shop and my cars run the gamut so a specialist in one doesn't necessarily work for all.

There is a VW/Audi shop in highlands around the corner from my house. My car is under warranty so im being held hostage by poor dealer service but will likely look into them in the future for non warranty work that I either don't have the skill or time to do myself.

best of my knowledge here in NJ it is just emissions... which explains why you see what you see on the road here

you guys know the "complimentary" estimate... 40k service 595! That is the only * i give people when i recommend this car, you need to do the service yourself otherwise you pay the man and the diesel is harder to justify with tax its a little more than 60 dollars per 10k driven. add in DEF and...
