Any car can turn it's wheels on the dyno at least in a simulated manner, just need to give false input to the ecu from the steering sensor so the ecu thinks the steering wheel is turned. Just a thought.

Just make the payments like you normally would until the buyback happens. If you don't your credit will get dinged big time and it will cost you a lot more in the long run. Think higher insurance premiums as insurance companies look at credit scores to figure out risk. Every payment you make...

Same problem here, no reset for me yet. If VW can't run a website it doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence that they can build a car correctly:D

Did that as well, sent an email to the clerk, who knows if it will get to where it needs to go.

Well I just filed a complaint with the FTC so I guess we'll see:rolleyes:

So I got the email telling me that one of my documents was not accepted. The car is registered in my wife's and my name. When I first signed up I signed up in her name. The info on the portal needs to match the registration. The email directs me to edit the info to correct it. Only problem is...

I smell some crony capitalism between California politicians and Idle Air. Who really cares what companies VW invests it's sin money in, as long as it meets the goal of reducing emissions. It's things like this that could delay buybacks and fixes for a long time. I think we have waited long...

Well if cars are gonna have to be in 100% compliance for on road emissions, don't complain about steep price increases and further complexity in vehicles. It is just not practical to attain 100% compliance at the allowable emission levels today. We have pretty much reached the limit as far as...

Any one see the irony here, Equi"nox":D

There is a difference in what you are saying. If I put a $3k tans in a 10 year old high mileage car, most owners at this point are thinking, heck the engine is burning a lot of oil and if I spend the money on a new trans, how much longer can I expect it to last. With an electric, just drop in a...

EV's will be a niche car for a while yet. Even though the range has gotten better they are still not there, sure they will work fine for most work commutes, but long range family trips, just not there yet. Many families don't want the payments on an extra vehicle with limited range whose only...

Alright guys, I was not praising the Prius over the TDI, nor was I saying the TDI is a bad car. In fact I really like the TDI, the repairs are probably just a fluke, after all there are plenty of 2015's on the road that have not suffered a failure. I'm not trying to convince anyone that any...

Just sharing my opinion of the vehicle. What makes the site go downhill is when anyone who expresses an opinion other than the TDI is the best in the world, they are looked down on. That's ok, the car fits my needs and I'm happy with it. The turbo was in fact done for, excess bearing play...

Well I'm just giving my objective opinion of the vehicle. I plan on driving it till the wheels fall off, overall I'm very happy with the purchase.

Yes still under warranty but not for much longer, it has 33k on the clock and I drive 600miles a week. It's still at the dealer, been there a couple of weeks and they still haven't started working on it. They finally got the fuel test results back and there was nothing in the fuel, now they...

Thanks all, it's funny because I swore I would walk before buying a Prius but after test driving it, it kinda grew on me. It handles decently, although it drives and handles more like an appliance. I will certainly miss the handling and driving experience of the TDI, but at this point in my life...

I guess VW will bring their technical knowledge of controlling diesel emissions to Navistar. What could possibly go wrong:eek:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-navistar-partnership-idUSKCN11B1BH Now this is a unique development.:D

So I'm going to do the buyback and have just purchased a replacement vehicle, a 2016 Prius 2. I'm gonna park the TDI until it gets bought back. It's at the dealer right now getting a new fuel system as the pump grenaded, this happening one week after the turbo went. All this at 33k miles! I must...

Now that's funny:D
