    Buy Back Spreadsheet - Track our buyback status

    My 2009 JSW gets turned in tomorrow at 3:00PM EST. the agreed upon price is $16096.73... I will drive my 2014 Passat until they insist on my taking action; at that point I will take the buyback option on it, as well.

    Radio turns itself on when car is off

    It does, but it is just as apt to turn on again. Only cycling key will shut it off; but not always, and not permanently. I'd expect there might cut one of several power leads to the radio although it's now turning off while driving and I can't turn it back on without cycling the key. i...

    Radio turns itself on when car is off

    Been away for two weeks. While I was gone, I pulled fuse on radio; wife thinks car will burn while we are gone if radio turns itself on. When I got back, I put fuse in, turned on key and turned on radio. Shut off key. One minute later radio turns itself on. Can't turn off from head end. Tried...

    Radio turns itself on when car is off

    The event Thursday was the first time in 14 years. Unfortunatly it has happened twice since. Odd that I've had only two mk4's and they both exhibited this behavour with the radio. Took 14 years to affect my wife's car, though. If it continues to happen as frequently as this, maybe I can...

    Radio turns itself on when car is off

    My vehicles with this issue were both MK4's. (No iPod; not even a CD). It seems evident that this has plague VW radios for over a decade; despite the service writer saying he's never heard of it. I have not had this happen in my sportwagen, but apparently Brianth has.

    Radio turns itself on when car is off

    With my 2002 golf I would resolve this by pulling the fuse by drivers door. The car is long gone; destroyed in a crash. It happened infrequently, but I had the fuze position memorized at the time. However, my wife still has a 2002 golf and it happened for the first time last night. Once in...

    Rearview Camera Mandate by 2014

    I really like the backup cameras. I've used them, they work well and I welcome the improvement; just as I'm pleased with the TPMS mandated 2009

    recall on #2 fuel line and vibrations

    Got the letter, but think I should wait until my dealer has done a few of these. Sounds simple, but my dealer is not very capable.

    My "fling" with JSW TDI is over, no regrets...

    You know I've had a real pleasant experience with my CR Sportwagen too. I've had a few VW diesels in the past ('02 Golf, '04 Passat) and they've all had some issue, not this car though. I gotta say it I think I'll have this one for a long time. I agonized over whether to get the DSG, but, in...

    Performed MPI, really?

    So MPI = multi-point inspection, not magnetic particle inspection, eh? Yeah, seemed unlikely that they did an oil analysis. I have to say, having VW service my car does make me nervous; it is free though. Certainly saves me time and money. Don't know why they have to overfill.

    Performed MPI, really?

    Had my complimentary 10,000 mile rotation/oil change. They overfilled oil BTW. Anyway job 2 is listed "performed MPI inspection and provided results" What's this? magnetic particle inspection? really?

    The one year, 0 problem thread

    Just over a year; 13 months. I've not had anything go wrong. I can tell you there were gremlins in my B4 passat and A5 golf by this time in their lives. Service reminder lamp came on, so I took it in for the complimentary 10,000 mile carefree service. Cool.. Tire rotation, Oil change, no...

    5 Speed Manual vs. 6 Speed DSG for A5 Jetta TDI?

    I like my DSG. Had a B5 Passat TDI w/ conventional fluid coupled automatic and it really sapped the power and the fuel mileage (didn't care for it). I also previously had a A4 golf TDI with a stick, a very nice ride and 50 mpg, wiped out while sitting at a red light. Wish I still had it...

    09 Door Locks Set to Open When Key is Removed

    Yeah, your right. They usually always open, if you've programmed then so.. some other condition isn't being met. You haven't started and moved the car, something like that. Not sure.
