I am now out of warranty on my 2009. During the warranty period, I had to have a glow plug replaced three times (I think the harness replacement is causing issues). I also had the EGR replaced and, interestingly enough, the electric fan replaced.

I got mine on Thursday of last week. 2009 JSW fixed ~08/17.

On my 2009 JSW, MFD was saying around 41-2 on my 30 mile commute to work. Now it is lucky to be 36-37. Hand calculated tank averages pre-fix were 33-38 depending on conditions. First three tanks after the fix were 29.3, 35.1(only 10 gallon fill), and 33.1 (running on fumes). Performance wise...

No, it was covered. I paid for nothing, just had to wait.

Don't regret it at all. Even with the decrease mileage, the restitution payment buys a LOT of diesel. For me, the buyback pricing was TERRIBLE. The restitution payment you get regardless, so the buyback option is really just the wholesale trade value. On a 2009 JSW, that was about 8500. I would...

BTW, the spare is a full size steelie with Michelin tire, not a donut.

I would love to swap my spare for one of the wheels if no other takers. Would rather have 5 identical to do a true 5 wheel rotation. Live in North KC off I-29. Let me know if you don't find other takers before your swap date.

First impressions, I agree with the Beetle driver, car FEELS different. Mine is a 2009 JSW with DSG. Acceleration from start feels more delayed and the impressive on ramp accelerations at speed aren't as snappy. When you could feel the turbo kick in, it used to launch. Not as same. Will admit...

Dropped car off last night. Loaner turned out to be an Enterprise car. Spent 1.5 hours between time I pulled in to dealership and had keys in hand to drive off. Late this morning dealer called and claims my 2009 needs a new glow plug harness as part of the emissions repair and it is being...

All bought back cars with an approved fix are allowed to be fixed by VW and resold. Where, when, if they fix and resell is yet to be determined, but VW doesn't have to crush any cars as long as there is an approved fix, which seems to cover 98% of them in the US now.

There are threads dedicated to that question. My reading was there was a little play that could make the braking and acceleration a little jerky (think slack in chains when pulling a car as the slack disappears and appears). Giving towing is already a risk compromising situation, I would prefer...

WOOT WOOT!!! This news is fantabolous. Been putting off spending anymore money on my TDI till I KNEW there would be a fix. Now I can add a hitch and taillights clip just in time for my move next week. Only question now is whether I can find a euro style trailer in the states with a 50mm ball so...
