I am also playing the waiting game, but I honestly don't think it will come as VW is done with the TDI power plant in this country so there is really no over reaching demand that they come up with a fix that will work.
Does anyone in Coastal Carolina doing a buyback have a set of 17 inch alloys with tires they would trade for a set of 17 inch VW Vision wheels and Continental DWS tires?

JSWTDI09, Thanks for the quick answer. It worked. Too bad the VW Owners Manuals don't go far enough. I replaced the fuse, closed the sunshade and then held the button in the close position for 20 seconds, shade partially opened, paused then closed. All is good. Thanks so much for the assist. :D

dr61,
U Haul sells the class 1 hitch kit for Jetta's. They are actually made by Hidden Hitch or Drawtite. Funny thing about it is I had the same concerns you had but got over them as I use my class 1 hitch for two reasons, receiver for bicycle mount and my little red folding utility trailer...
Wow,
You guys are lucky, $3.60 here this morning. York, PA. But we have it easy, I was in Belgium over the holidays, it is the equivalent of $6.55 a gallon 3.78liters.
