    DEALER WOES

    It ran very well for 80k (was a certified VW)- The dealer put lots of parts on it this year and it runs great when it decides to run great - I am so excited for a car payment and higher insurance premiums - problem solved

    DEALER WOES

    Now I am super curious about VWs future offer on a buyback - The dealer offered me 6k on a trade - Assumptions dont seem to lead anywhere and thus I simply take in the facts and acceptance of owning a warranted car that NO-ONE can fix or even wants to try and fix - My last ditch effort at the...

    DEALER WOES

    VW has offered a buyback under their in house lemon law procedure - currently the car is in good hands with a european shop who employs actual mechanics - I am hoping VW will pay for my rental car and the repairs since both dealers in my city have truly failed me and proven to be incompetent -...

    DEALER WOES

    My 2015 has been to the dealer on numerous occasions - They have put many parts and sensors on the car - The cars runs quite poorly and hiccups - stumbles - sputters all the time - Very likely a fuel issue - The 2 dealers have not been able to diagnose or fix the car and VW has been involved on...

    Warranty NOT HELPFUL

    yea the car cut out 7 times on the way to the dealer - then the service tech rode with me for 25 minutes and it ran perfect!! my car is demonized and possesed - VW of America has expedited my case Hopefully the second dealer and only other dealer in my city can eventually figure out the issue...

    Warranty NOT HELPFUL

    I am not clear on PID and VCDS terminology - Does the dealer not have the ability to get accurate VCDS info?? At this point I was told to take the car often to the service tech for rides ( I drive) until the engine cut outs replicate for him - The computers and sensors are simply not helping...

    Warranty NOT HELPFUL

    4 PID items - losing power - I cannot get it to cut out for the dealer - I am so frustrated with this car - It cuts out for me all the time - runs perfect for the dealer I guess - a supernatural car? - the spiritual posession of my car knows the dealer sucks and will do whatever it takes to...

    cutting out

    UPDATE # 12.5 Well the dealer has claimed my car needs 4 additional sensors within the dpf - one of which is not available and backordered - going on 3 weeks of repair time - I dont expect to get the car back next week - I dont even even expect the dealer to fix the car properly but I guess...

    Yea my stepdad is the one who talked me into this bad #@* amazing 2015 TDI!!! UPDATE#4 Now the dealer has agreed to put on the crankshaft sensor (that I purchased and delivered on my pedal bike!) And the car coded for the dealer and it now needs a new DPF - It is supposed to be ready on...

    cutting out

    cool - I guess I could try - I am not a very good mechanic - I am a musician - some folks report that it is a 3 hour job!! but that it only takes 1 - so it would likely take me 4 or 5 hours - and I would break something most likely

    cutting out

    the dealer service manager has agreed to look at the car again - perhaps with a differnet technician he said - I guess I am just in high hopes of the dealer fixing my issues under warranty - I am broke after my timing belt replacement and buying new struts all around!! My mechanic said around...

    cutting out

    UPDATE #2 Well thanks again you guys - The engine still cuts out after the dealer worked on it for two days!! I payed them $200 to diagnose the car and they said they dont know what is wrong - Just throwing parts at it for the most part - they even even tried to place blame on my super cool...

    cutting out

    UPDATE - The dealer replaced my B1 S1 O2 sensor and did a regen (they burned up much of my fuel!) They said the O2 sensor was very gummed up and caked up - Warranty covered work - Now they claim the car is good to go and no issues - I ordered a crankshaft sensor just to have one on hand - We...

    cutting out

    very interesting - the dealer now says the car may not need an oil pressure sensor valve afterall (after they diagnosed and charged $200 to decifer my codes) - They are now doing a regen (whatever that means???) and replacing the B1 S1 O2 sensor all under warranty - we shall see how it runs

    cutting out

    I see - SO the sensor fails and causes the cars to cut out briefly and sporadically??? And the dealers wont fix this issue under warranty??? MY dealer is awful and they have been a complete joke and a waste of time and money - They seem to have many reasons not to cover the warranty and its...

    cutting out

    my engine is cutting out very briefly and it happens periodically and sporadically - seems to be getting worse - starts runs and idles great otherwise - only code showing is for an oxygen sensor - WOndered if this is caused by the oil pressure valve in the valve train or if it is the throttle...
