Turned in our second TDI on Saturday. Now we are also without a TDI. We do have a GLI 6MT that is also a blast to drive but will not be buying a diesel ever again. Different power band than the TDI but just as exciting when you get on it!
I have an exhaust flap assembly that was removed serviceable if someone is in need of one. I'll donate but recipient covers the shipping.
Update:"Donated the entire system to a TDI club member"
Thanks for the information, me thinks that the easiest solution is to pull the loose mirror glass off and apply some epoxy to secure it. Did the same on my old Z4 when I clipped a pokey buzzard on an old country road last year. Shattered that glass.

Thanks for the links, my local dufus scrap dealer is clueless. My wife is currently contracting for Delta in Atlanta so she can drop it off at the recyclers for me.
Took the whole stock exhaust system to the scrap dealer and he wouldn't take any of it. Said that it was worthless? I would think that the cat, resonator, exhaust flap, and DPF would have some scrap value but dude said that it was worthless! Any thoughts out there?
I've got a complete exhaust system sitting on my shop floor too. Removed it from the 2011 Jetta during the Stage 2 Malone tune. Kept it just in case I had to put it back on for the buyback, but it was not needed. Going to take it to the scrap dealer. Removed it because of a cracked DPF, cheaper...
Anyone out there have any experience on removing the side mirrors? My 2012 Jetta is being turned back on March 25th and I am thinking of swapping the side mirrors between that car and my 2013 GLI. The GLI came with loose glass in the mirror and a free solution is to swap them out.
Anyone out...
Keep your tags, you paid for them. Return them to your local tax collector for a refund on the remaining time left on them. It is VW's problem after you turn it in.
Wow these cars just keep paying out! First the gift cards and dealer cards, then the buybacks, and now the Bosch settlement. These cars are like ATM's or broken slot machines that keep paying out. What's next?
I had a call from my local VW dealer offering to buy my GLI from me that I just bought last month. Told dude that if I needed something that I would call him. First cold call I have ever gotten from them.
That tail number was N406FE - A310-200 and was scrapped in Victorville 5 years ago. Beer cans now I guess. That AC was the tail number for one of our flight simulators that I was an engineer on back then. I have moved on to visual models now...
The credit union does overnight payoffs too, for a...
Last week I called my FedEx Employee credit union and asked them to fax over the payoff amounts to the VW claims dept on both VW's that have been waiting an offer letter since Nov 4th. We have gotten offers on both cars in the past 10 days. Coincidence, I doubt it. I don't believe in...
got this email last night around 21:00 CST. ***? I read that they needed me to get the loan payoff from the credit union sent to them somehow. No instructions on where to send the payoff letter either. Waited on hold for eternity this morning for the claims weiner to tell me that I didn't need...
Picked up my GLI replacement. Now still waiting on offers since Nov 4. Talked to the TDI specialist at the dealer today about the long wait and she advised me to call the claims line and pitch a fit on the phone. It has worked for others she said. Not really my style to yell at people though...
