That hit the nail on the head in my case. VW bought the car back and now it's sitting on a dealer's lot for sale.

A 2011 JSW which was repurchased by VW under FL lemon law is for sale at a dealer locally for $24,700. 39k miles.

I don't believe the speculation that using a higher ash CJ4 HDEO will shorten the lifespan of the DPF by 40%. From 0.6% to 1% is an additional ~3.5g of sulfated ash per L and in a new engine that does not burn oil through worn rings but only sees the normal crankcase vapour routed into the...

I used Delvac 1 in the 2011 JSW I had for 40k. Al and Fe were about 1/3 of those using 507.00 TBN was always around 3 at 10K.

I got rid of mine because no amount of wheel & tire replacing, balancing, aligning, cv shaft replacing, steering rack replacing, subframe bolt replacing, pontificating, "it's the way it's suppose to feel", "you've got a bad tire", "they all do that", "hmm, odd never seen one do this before"...

Here is a 2011 JSW for $24,700 which was purchased new for $26k and recently traded for not much less than their asking price. http://www.boastvw.com/VehicleDetails/used-2011-Volkswagen-Jetta_SportWagen-TDI-Bradenton-FL/1968597513

That's okay, the dealer kept the key to the locking lugs during one of the many visits to fix a vibration in the 2011 JSW I had. Found that out on the side of the road with a flat tire once upon a time also.

Delvac-1 ESP will be going in the car (11 JSW) for the 3rd time coming up shortly. UOA at 30k showed wear metals all lower than Blackstone's claimed averages... Fe was almost 1/2 of their average. DPF is still there.

What noises/symptoms did you notice? I've got a 2011 that makes a rattle/grinding noise on the 2-1 downshift as it comes to a stop. Dealer said it was normal, nothing to worry about earlier this year but it's clunking from 3-2 and the rattling noise from 2-1 while stopping is getting worse. :(...

The 11-12 LML Dmaxes no longer use the CP3 either... they switched to the CP4.2 which I have heard is very similar to the CP4.1 used on the CR VW's. Pretty sure the 11-12 6.7 PSD uses it also. In the Dmax world, I know the CP3 has supported 90-120hp tunes without a lift pump before it would...

The Dmax used the CP3 on the LB7, LLY, LBZ & LMM engines 01 thru 10(?) IIRC. The '11-12 LML engines use a CP4.2

^^I wonder how much of that can be attributed to the oil and/or how much the wear results are a characteristic of the engine itself?

One case is enough for three oil changes.

At a local wholesale fuel and lube distributor that doesn't mind making the occasional retail counter sale.

I can assure you it's Delvac 1.
