    Worst day ever

    The car will never be the same. Mine was hit, and it never drove right, never sealed up right, was never as quiet. Most importantly, I was never happy making a "new car payment" for an "old wrecked car". I sold it to the VW dealership for 3k less than I paid for it 41,000 miles prior. Seemed...

    Why do people disable DRL?

    He's Canadian. They still think their healthcare is 'free'. We won't win him over to the logical side - just get in on my group buy for deer whistles and be done with it.

    Why do people disable DRL?

    Wait. You want me to be responsible for YOUR safety by using DRLs but you don't want to be responsible for your safety by wearing a set belt? HAHAHAHaa. you so silly.

    Why do people disable DRL?

    More importantly, why are new cars coming with DRLs and not with Deer Whistles! Neither has been proven to be more or less effective than not having them, and neither is less effective than the other at reducing crashes. Deer Whistles are an important safety feature that have all of the...

    radio not holding FM station lock

    VW replaced my radio at about 3,000 miles because some of the features (speed sensitive volume) do not work. Now, my dash fascia is uneven and the new radio does the same thing. try your luck with the dealership, but make sure they get all of the panels clipped in properly.

    12 in for 09

    not needed = not mandatory ≠ not a good idea. I dose it up with 4 oz XPD every fill-up. I have a super clean fuel filter and get moderately acceptable fuel mileage.

    New 2012 JSW TDI Owner question about blinker

    I was poking around in Vag-Com , and it appears you can turn the noise off or on through the computer. I didn't experiment, though. But I would play around with that long before I let them rip my car apart for a new cluster!!!

    Scary Moment Today...

    I don't see any evidence of fire... did you crawl under it and look at the exhaust to see if there was burned plastic residue or something? Are you still driving the car?

    Underseat Drawer Install

    I have them under both seats. They are great for small stuff: wallet, sunglasses, etc. I use the dash cubby for fuel receipts.

    Dealer pricing...

    In all seriousness, my fail comment wasn't just about your story/actions. AND... look up omnipotent. Omniscient is clearly what you meant, I would know.

    Underseat Drawer Install

    It has been my experience with most car parts, from many suppliers and brands, that they do not come with instructions.

    Filling up and venting?

    Do some more arguing about the DSG! Next we can argue about getting gas and gas mileage.

    Good deal or so so?

    Take a look at Audi's European Delivery program. You could have your car and drive it around the Autobahn, too.

    Dealer pricing...

    they are trying to sell your car out from under you, and in this case they can get away with it because you don't have a contract - your agreement with them lacks consideration - next time put down a deposit... AT A DIFFERENT DEALER. And yes, 1000 under Sticker sounds right to me in this area...

    Dealer pricing...

    Pay the price you have from them in writing. If you didn't get the 26k price in the contract then you don't have anything to be upset about. It sounds like they have agreed to sell your car to somebody else (who doesn't want to wait) for more than you agreed to pay for it, and the...

    Odd Console/Odo behavior (11 JSW)

    I hate dealers. But even I would have laughed you out of the office for asking for a new cluster over an 80 mile variance (in your favor). You are very lucky they did not put it up on a lift and "Ferris Bueller" the damn thing for 80 miles.
