My 2009 JSW has 144970 miles on it. It's about 10 miles to the dealer. I seem to remember 145,000 miles was the next mileage bracket that results in a lower buyback value. Am I confused though since I am not doing more miles than the allowed monthly amount (it's basically been garaged). If I...

If you have comprehensive insurance it might be worth asking insurance to cover the repair. I had the same thing happen (second HPFP in 143000 miles). The dealer tried to negotiate with VW but they wouldn't help. THe dealer then suggested we ask insurance. Evidently they convinced the insurance...

Just got the scan from local mechanic. 4 codes relating to cylinder #2. Their advice is "OK to drive for now but it if starts running rough then bring it in. Doesnt seem like something that will fail disastrously (like HPFP, turbo, DPF) codes C5074,c5073,C5075

Yeah, maybe I can ask my local mechanic if he will get the code as a favour since I just spent $$$$ getting him to rebuild the engine on my other car (1967 Buick)....

After having the 2nd HPFP failure fixed a month ago (covered by my AAA car insurance), I thought things were looking up, until yesterday when the check engine light came on. I still need to drive the car around a little bit until my other car is fixed. ANy thoughts whether it's safe to do so...

Very happy with my Volvo V60. Won't be returning to VW any time soon. Good riddance HPFP failures! I was sad I was not informed of the European delivery option but happy to be able to get a great deal on a CPO with 7 year warranty. the V60 is a wonderful car, no doubt the 2017 model will be...

V60 has considerable deals it seems at the moment. I got mine CPO with a few thousand miles for $29k including 7 year bumper to bumper extended warranty,registration paid for a year, full tank of gas, premium edition. Cheaper than my JSW when I bought it for "only" 2k above sticker when it first...

Love it so far. Though I don't love the mpg very much but you can't win them all. The Volt was on the list but I foun the interior kind of cheap. High gloss and all but I didn't see it wearing well. I was also put off by unfinished bits of rubber around the mould joins for the plastic/rubber...

Haha it's true I have never looked at the price of the Camry, it is quite a bit cheaper for sure so I guess a lot of car for that money. It's more of a quantity than quality kind of thing though quality is probably a misnomer given Toyota's legendary reliability. It had all the bells and...

SO while my ill fated JSW 09 was in the shop for the HPFP issue (which was then immediately followed by malfunctioning keys and ignition coil) the dealership gave me a loaner 2016 Jetta TSI. It was interesting comparing the two cars. I got used to the TSi driving it for 2 weeks waiting for the...

I paid $29950 for a 2016 V60 Drive-E premier edition, heated seats, no backup camera, no blind spot or parking sensors (I prefer to rely on my own senses for these things). Came with 7 years, 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty. I think it was a good deal given that I didn't haggle at all...

I bought the Volvo V60 and couldn't be happier so far. Plenty of power, more snappy than the TDI. Sure mpg is not very close but it's pretty decent for gas given the power. Way more luxurious and more beautifully finished. Going back to a Jetta Loaner TSI seems so cheap in comparison though it...

It maybe off the road but it's still pretty unfair situation, especially given the HPFP is such a fiasco in itself. Having a car that could fail at any time, multiple times resulting in a 5k-9k repair is totally unacceptable in my eyes especially as it's due to a design flaw (VW not putting in...

For anyone with an out of warranty HPFP failure that is not covered by the car insurance and wondering about the buyback scheme, the class action lawyers are currently looking into this issue. I called the class settlement hotline and left a message in August and received a callback yesterday...

After my the total fiasco that has been VW service and reliabilty this last few weeks I will never touch another VW. It's a shame because I love my 09 JSW but the HPFP timebomb is too expensive to ignore. In addition I have now had issues with the keys and ignition cylinder 2x, both time car...

OK this is getting ridiculous. In March I took the 09 JSW to the dealer to fix a leak in the sunroof. Prior to that they had had to replace the wiring harness because it mysteriously failed exactly at the time it was in the dealer's shop (never had a problem before it went to the shop). During...

I just bought a CPO Volvo v60. I was about to get the Outback but tried a Volvo moments before and it was just so much nicer inside, so much better put together. Of course it is a lot smaller than the Outback but very close to the JSW in size inside and out. The trunk seems smaller though and...

AFter my HPFP died for the second time, this time not covered under warranty I would say park and get rid of that time bomb before it's too late. You never know when that failure will happen and once it's done your's screwed if you have more than 120k miles. If it's under warranty though, keep...

If your'e interested I can give you the details of the lawyers I was using, before AAA said they would cover the costs. I had already signed up with them a few months back as a sort of insurance policy for this very eventuality. I figured I had nothing to lose. I can't really speak to their...
