Sooo....what sort of high mileage numbers are you 238d owners seeing and what sorts of issues are you seeing?
Love my GSW but have been itching for a 328D wagon for years......
I agree.....I suspect that a lot of buyers are going to go full retard because they fear this is the last of the TDI's forever
Well....if its the last of the TDI's then parts are going to get scarce really fast...and I dont want to be left holding that bag.....its like owning a Saab right now
My local dealers have gone full retard and one has stated they are planning to sell 2015's for full msrp
I laughed really hard over the phone and he got defensive
Personally I think I'm going to turn in my 2015, take the cash and get something fun for a couple years and see what happens in...
I bought a 2015 with 4k miles on it after dieselgate started.
I'm eligable for the settlement but only get half of the fun money portion of the buyback/fix
I've got a dealer I have confidence in so.....
When you combine the simplicity of the fix with the extended warranty to 150k on emissions...
I wouldnt bet on the diesel engine going anywhere for decades
The primary reason for this is surprisingly emmissions imho
Diesels are cleaner in every way except for NOX and NOX is fairly easily mitigated....lets not even get into the manipulation of standards by the epa and others over what...
IIRC it was pretty minor and it was predicated on feasibility/validation of durability of the fix.....if plan A works then G2G....if its proven not to be durable then they need to do more.......or something along those lines.....any way you slice it a 150k warranty sounds good to me
My only...
Yea, they cannot be exported as is....either they fix them or they drill holes in the block and cut the frame/body of the car to render it inoperable
What a flipping waste
Mods, would it be possible to add an option to new posts function to allow folks to see new posts while filtering out the dieselgate noise?
While there are a couple with real info the overwhelming majority are just noise and detract from the greatness of the site
There's no confusion
The overwhelming majority of threads on this forum are now exclusively dedicated to people complaining about what VW is not doing to compensate them sufficiently for their hurt feelings on top of any issues with the car.
Wish there were a good way to separate out the...
After periodically checking in on the dumpster fire thread that went on for months and the persistent whining of a large number of folks primarily new to VW and diesels in general.....Its become apparent that no matter what VW offerered for buyback/fix that the overwhelming majority of folks...
The butt hurt is strong in this crowd
Does VW need to include a "Safe Space" or "Hurt Feelings" clause in the settlement?
The settlement as outlined is pretty darn fair.....the expectations of some is not so realistic unfortunately
Bingo!
I get DRL and nothing else
If you have any other suggestions I'm all ears.....is this something I should be able to validate with a simple connectivity tester like I should expect power at each side of the relay?
The sport wagons are one of the most popular/successful models that VW has come up with
I wouldnt expect that to go away.....nor do I see diesel vw's going away either....VW diesels will simply return to the smaller niche that it was circa 2006
Still a profitable car for VW going...
Having trouble with my 2006 PD BRM
Car sat for a month, ran great previously
Turn key, no glow plug light, no guages, no check engine light etc
Car turns over and begins to start but wont continue to run
Appears to clearly be electrical but so far I cant find a bad fuse
Any...
Resurrecting an old thread.....
With Rich Tremblay no longer in new boston/weare I have to give a thumbs up to Noyes
They did what they said they would do for a fair price.
Their advertised prices on timing belts isnt bad either
I know a couple other people with TDI's that have used them and...
