I've only owned my 2014 Beetle TDI premium for 8 months but the VW emissions drama and worrying about how much money I was going to loose along with reading 2014 Jetta TDI is now only getting $8k at auction motivated me to trade it in, take some cash out of my 401k and buy a 2016 Jeep Wrangler...

I wanted to put an end to the VW drama in my life so I traded it in for A 2016 Jeep Wrangler. It's time for an off road fun vehicle for me.

VW will probably sell Bentley and Bugatti I'd imagine Volkswagen will have to restructure... selling off Bentley and Bugatti.

Does anyone have access to Manheim Auction prices ? A friend of mine has a Manheim account. 2014/2015 Jetta TDI and Jetta TDI wagons are now averaging $8k at auction. When I saw that I traded in my 2014 TDI Beetle Premium before it's value hit rock bottom. I got $14k.. for a car that should...

Nooooooooooo! :eek: I'd fall asleep at the wheel driving a Leaf or Prius. very boring vehicles. Plus electricity is starting to skyrocket in south eastern massachusetts because we are losing our large coal & oil fired generation plant (Brayton Point) and Pilgrim Nuclear (same technology as...

I think a lot of us are thinking about getting a Qpro or equivalent to back up our ECUs. I plan on getting a lock for the ECU port too. I don't want VW tampering with my car.

Here's why my TDI only has 7k miles ... My daily commute to work increased to 120 miles/day. I traded in my Wrangler for the TDI. The TDI made sense at the time. My Wrangler had 34" wheels and the 60 mile ride up and back would get old at 15mpg. I Ended up finding an opportunity closer to...

Cool! At least I'll know when they want to access the port. This looks like the answer.

My TDI is getting high mpg (62mpg long road trips no traffic, 42 mpg 18 mile daily commute moderate/heavy traffic). I want to keep the vw dealers hands off my ECU. The vehicle is my property so I should be able to. Will Vagcom allow me to back it up and lock it ?

Yeah I got a lowball offer for my 2014 TDI w/7k miles. I told them to stick it up thier ass. it wasn't any better than what Edmunds lists my car for.. in fact it was lower. It was the BASE Trade in value. they didn't add for equipment, mileage, and condition. screw em. I'll get a Malone...

real world mpg 2014 beetle tdi premium edition it all depends on road conditions, fuel. mileage of road trip, tire inflation ,etc. My commute to work 18 miles each way.. 40% moderate traffic, 20% heavy traffic, 40% light traffic - 43mpg My commute from work to home 18 miles each way...

Here's what I get with my 2014 TDI It's cold outside.. 28F (-2C).. winter diesel blend out now.. 18 mile commute average 50mph. ---- 42mpg recent roadtrip (October 2015)300 mile drive to Bartlet, NH 62mpg It's going to warm up today to at least 10C. .. I expect to get around 44mpg...

Alberta-- isn't it cold outside ? when it's cold diesel is blended with anti gel and kereosene. mpg will take a hit. I still achieve 43mpg during the commute to work. During the spring you will see at least 25% improvemnt.. unless the emissions fix reduces overall efecciency.

it's better to be able to trade the car in at 30k miles and not loose your shirt Let's face it. VW service is expensive. If you buy the car at a good price, take care of it, and trade it in at a non VW dealership you should do great.. but you can't because of #dieselgate I didn't plan on...

I've got an RNS510 in my TDI. It's been working fine with my ipod touch connected to the mdi interface. Has anyone figured how to play video from the mdi interface ? I might try to create a folder with the same format as a DVD (TS_VIDEO, TS_AUDIO, etc. ) Has anyone tried this already ?

The cheating from VW is more like when when the smart kid is embarrassed so bad they don't have the answer that they fudge it. It's a matter of chemistry. CAT chemistry isn't too difficult, it's just getting the catalyst to scale down. I did some research about this after the initial ***...

You hit it on the money. Here's what I'm thinking. The NOx CAT get's too hot to work efficiently during DPF regen and takes some time to cool off to 300 degrees and start working well again. I need to setup dashcomm to monitor the CAT2 temp sensor and the temp sensor closer to the muffler...

I agree I agree 100% with the EV could be even dirtier due to coal fired power plants. Also Gas fired generators like in New England result in expensive electricity.. Winter it costs us $.29/kw plus it does not make sense at that rate. average charge for a Volt would be $5.06 allowing for a...

I think the Jetta was going up a hill during DPF regen LOL If anyone has VAGCOM they can do a test for us. Monitor NOx and the CAT2 temp sensor. I bet NOx goes up when DPF is running. Thats what the WVU report looked like to me.
