    Battling dealership with p0401 after fix

    This is correct. You couldn’t do mail in registration. You need to go in to an office to register. Either DMV or AAA office to renew Your registration. You still needed to pass smog readiness. Meaning only one readiness not set. In order to pass smog.

    Battling dealership with p0401 after fix

    ???? You knew what the problem most likely was, but decided to let them change unnecessary parts?? Instead of taking your car to a competant dealer. You let them do the unnecessay repair. And then want refund, after taking the car home, because it didnt fix the problem? Sounds like you were...

    State of MA will start failing non-fixed TDI's

    Seems like an easy cross reference of fixed cars vs current registrations. Calif has been flagging VIN’s for two years now. But Calif, has approved the exemption. And registering without fix is doable. Just have to go into the office. No online or mail in registration works.

    Dilemma. What to do, what to do!!

    Times have changed since 2012. I bought mine, after selling my 2005 Duramax CC. At the time, the Passat was the largest interior, mid size around. Add the 45+ mpg on the hwy and it was a no brainer. 2018, the Passat is now, the same interior size as the Civic. Cars have grown. Add, some are now...

    Buyback Lessons Learned

    Man I’m on the fence about buy back. I made my decision to do the buy back when this first started. As, I’m coming down to the wire, doubt is setting in. Although I did buy a gas guzzler as a replacement. It’s not exactly a daily driver. With no payments, and 40+mpg, I’m seriously reconsidering...

    Proof of Acquisition requirement?

    Strange, just uploaded my documents. Only asked for 2 uploads. Govt ID, and registration. Nothing for title. I paid off the loan a year ago, so I own it. The portal says my documents were accepted and under review. I’ll wait and see. Edit: I even went back on to the portal, to double check if I...

    Terms of Settlement Agreement: Buy End of Lease?

    Thanks again. And to be clear, registering the car, i.e. $1000 gift cards. Is different than, opening a claim and filing for the lease money.

    Terms of Settlement Agreement: Buy End of Lease?

    Sounds good! My sister has a car on lease, and we'll be doing the sale option in a month or so. Thank to all for the advice! Did those who did this, and already had planned a turn in on lease, need to cancel the claim before the sale?

    If the Chevy Cruze passes emissions, we have nothing to worry about w/our Ad-Blu VWs

    I've got a 2015 gas Cruze for my step daughter. The steering is very touchy. But the interior is just too small for me. They need to put the diesel in a bigger car. I'm seriously looking at the Malibu/lumina, just because of interior room. The car is fine for my daughter.
