    The settlement as proposed is complete BS

    I'm actually happy with what I'm going to be getting back ( unless my calculations are wrong )... I don't like this car and I can't wait to get rid of it...

    Will we owe taxes on the settlement benefits?

    Random, but it's strange to me that your car is at 69 fuel-ups and so is mine. My name is also Shawn...

    Will we owe taxes on the settlement benefits?

    The way that I look at it is I'm the seller and VW is the buyer. I've never paid taxes to sell a car before. So I can't see how they would be able to tax us on this?

    Just a heads up, I received a letter in the mail for my 2013 Jetta TDI that says they have extended this to certain 2012-2013 2.0L TDI models. I already replaced my flap out of my own pocket so now I'm going to try to get some money back...

    Engine Exhaust Flap Warranty Extension

    Amazing news! This was just extended to 2012-2013 vehicles! I just received the letter in the mail. Now here is my question. When I called the dealer before they told me it wasn't covered, and at the time I guess it wasn't. So I just went on eBay and bought a brand new flap from a VW dealer (...

    Cheap Wiper Blade Refills for MK6 Jetta Sedan

    Thank you! Did this last night. $7 shipped with Amazon prime you can't beat it. A little tip that worked better for me though: When you remove the end caps and slide the littler retainer clips off just pull the old rubber blade out. It's not being held in by anything other than the mounting...

    What did you do to your mk6 Jetta today?

    Replaced this thing... I have a 2013 which isn't officially included in the recall of the part. And all of my local dealers are weeks out on service appointments. It wasn't worth the time or hassle. So I said screw it and just bought my own.
