    What would you do?

    When you consider that most (quite possibly all?) car makes/models have a timing chain that NEVER requires replacement, I consider that a factor and routine maintenance. Yes, a software download is not technically a "physical object" for phase I of the "fix". Phase II, different storey: new...

    What would you do?

    Ahhh, fair enough a VW fanboy, they are still out there. No, there is not a comparable car that has imploding HPFP's that send barely visible metal fibres though-out the fuel system inherently destroying that system repair costing anywhere from 3 - $8,000, turbo fuel injectors that routinely...

    What would you do?

    What would I do you ask? If possible take the buy back.

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    I have yet to receive this book. A pre-fix trial maybe something that I am interested in. Although I am leaning toward taking the buy back. I will call VW dealer tomorrow and see what they say, then add a grain of salt to their answer. Something to consider if you go and roll the stage 1 fix...

    2017 Alltrack Information

    The Golf has the 1.8 TSI engine in it, same as this VW Alltrack you are looking at, CR gave the lowest reliability rating for that car.

    Who's keeping, who's selling?

    I'm in that boat as well. Still no "official" offer from VW here in Canada due to the different legal process, or so I have heard. So, I am just driving and enjoying the car until there is a valid offer on the table. Call VW Canada and you just get a well trained saccharine PR voice. Had...

    Who's keeping, who's selling?

    VW Canada finally apparently came through with an offer comparable with the US. Well, just in the news reports as of now, still no "official" word from VW. So I have until March 2017 to decide. Looking at the Toyota Corolla IM, comes in manual, nice looking hatch...

    My hope for the future...

    Here's one example off the top of my head. For me personally, i do not enjoy the process of purchasing a car, worst financial investment anyone will ever make, trade off for "freedom", ie. hey, i'm gonna drive up north for the weekend. Put a significant amount of time, thought and research...

    My hope for the future...

    Firstly, i am not a new member who joined after dieselgate to whine on this forum, been kicking aroung here since 07 i believe. Secondly, it is not "free" money that VW is issuing to parties affected. It is compensation for depreciation as well other items factored in by individual VW owners...

    Who's keeping, who's selling?

    Just like the title says, wondering who is taking the buy back (if so, what are you going to replace the car with), and who is going to keep their MK7? Personally, undecided. Cheers

    "Service Car Now. Put in Park" Message while driving

    Is your car a DSG or standard? I don't think you specified in OP.

    40k service due soon. But plan on selling car back

    You think that you will still get 500+ miles / tank after the "fix"? What about reduction in performance, possibly one of the reasons that you "love" the car.

    VW Settlement in the US

    VW wants to buy back my 2015 Golf, purchased appporx one month prior to the dieselgate swindle?? S-O-L-D!!!!! The price better be right. Had it with diesel and possibly VW. May consider a TSI, maybe even automatic.

    EA288 - A diesel way forward?

    The man-up thing to do, the honourable thing to do, the owning up to the fact that you royally fu&%ed up and screwed over 1/2 million people is to buy this cheating, illegal car back from me a face value. Diesel cars in NA are DONE!!! This is not a good comparison, but I going to make it...

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    Rear window defog/frost not functioning. Due for 15,000km service next week, so hopefully it can be repaired. My fingers are crossed that it is just a blown fuse. Although my check of the fuses did not show anything.
