    Trading in your VW TDI? What will be your next car

    As of right now I am selling my '13 Jetta back. I will most likely take over my wife's '13 CC so she can get the Subaru she loves and misses.

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    2 weeks ago car wouldn't start, sure looked like a battery or starter. Long story short intercooler water, burned out starter and some temp sensor replaced. VW paid for all of it except for $122 for labor to replace the started. Car is over 71k miles. I think it helped that I am a long time VW...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I should make my wife read all 200+ pages of this thread. She made me sell my A3 with 384k on it rather than fix it. I gave it to my daughter and it started blowing white smoke. Never the less.... I miss blowing black smoke at other obnoxious drivers and rue the day I bought a TDI that doesn't...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Not wanting to read through the 100+ pages since yesterday I will just post that the Chairman has resigned and in the article it says VW is seeking criminal investigation against someone, employees? :rolleyes...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Shame on VW for cheating ALL of us. Shame on the EPA for not doing their own testing and catching this. Maybe my last VW too. Mileage isn't that much better then some of the new gassers. We pay premium prices for diesel but I am not getting premium mileage like my A3 did. Any word on Audi...

    Airbag Malfunction Recall - 2010+ VW

    I got an airbag recall for my 2006 Tundra. The temporary fix is to not have a passenger in the front seat until they can come up with the fix.:eek:

    I wonder if she is a member here. I am sure someone can look into it, maybe offer her a complimentary membership.

    what's wrong with the mpg computations? It appears that there is nothing the dealer will do to smooth out the DSG, esp. from a stop. Is that correct?

    Stories when filling up at "gasoline station"

    Haven't had anyone say anything in a while. My problem is when I drive a non-diesel vehicle. A couple of weeks ago I was on the motorcycle and pulled up to the same pump I get diesel at (dual pump) and grabbed the diesel and took a few seconds to figure out something was wrong. In my defense, it...

    I am taking my 13 Jetta in next week for it's first 10k oil change. There are a thread, which I can't find, that had suggestions for things to get programmed by the dealer. I think one had to do with the fob and locking the doors. Maybe a sticky thread would be handy for these suggestions.

    FS: 1998 Jetta 5 speed northeast Ct.

    It is time to say good-bye to my friend. Lots of miles and smiles. She has around 380k miles and something went last week and it started billowing smoke. Not sure if the turbo went or maybe rings in one of the cylinders. Not worth it for me to repair anymore as I recently bought a 2013 Jetta...

    How does it work in CT with buying a car out of state like this? did you have to get temp plates to bring it back?

    The Case for and Against Buying a Diesel Car

    The only times I have hunted were because of my laziness to stop and fillup where I was. Sometimes high mpg can be can be a disadvantage. :eek:
