I let them "fix" it at the last minute in december. Couldn't pass up the money and warranty. HPFP warrantied to 420k now. It's tolerable, but to this princess and the pea, VERY noticeable. Might stage 1.5 it after 420k to get those good vibrations back. All right, no more questions for...

I've been a bum. 400,000 mile update forthcoming. :)

Sober customer in daylight guessed <95k mi on the odometer just this morning. People don't believe 339k mi on front brake pads is possible either. :D I heard Atlanta was 80-90 routinely. Morning is worst here. I've had pick-ups fly up on me at 85 in the wet, even when I leave the hammer...

I was trying to force a regen in my car recently on 270 for many miles at 64mph so 5th would be at about 2050 rpm. EVERYONE passed me. :rolleyes:

Anyone think they may balk at my 2micron filter kit? HPFP is original at 337k miles.

On a 2009 sure, since it gets one anyway. On an '11, will they make you pay for a new dpf and egr (if defective/broken currently) in order to get their fix or would they to have eat that in order to make the car compliant?

Thanks guys. Fingers crossed.

Can I get a free exhaust system before August?!? No don't close the thread yet! I'm still hoping....for.....closure? :D What I really want to know is: Can I get a free exhaust system for my 2011 before August?!? :eek:

BTW, I wish to reiterate the gathering tomorrow is informal. I think the term used was "Irish Wake." (new to me, too) So you all know. :)

Your poor TDI! ;)

Update: The family requests any donations be made to the Lowe Syndrome Association on Nicholas' behalf. www.lowesyndrome.org I know Oilhammer is grateful for all the support of this community, it is a heart-warming thing to see.

Hello everyone, I've received a couple messages about getting donations to the family. For anyone who would care to PM me, I will be glad to provide an address where your contributions can reach them. Thank you. :)

I regret to announce the sad news of the passing of renowned TDI Club member Oilhammer's youngest son Nicholas from complications of his condition. He was only 12. There will be an informal memorial gathering this Saturday April 22nd in St. Louis, MO, (Affton MO more specifically) at the...

Why not offer 50 or 75% down payment and ask "how risky am I now?" ;) Could you get the $5k off with a VW "high risk loan"? If so, who cares what they call it, or the interest rate, you got the money to get their loan and quickly pay it off, screwing them out of most of their interest profit...

I didn't, I had to buy a whole set, others just not pictured. ;) Don't even need them, believe me, I've ranted about not being able to buy a single driver's mat for ages. It's a blatent waste of resources and money. Complaints about single occupant cars started decades ago, so how hard is it...

Was the number of units originally sold about 490,000? Here 475,000 is cited, so might that indicate about 15,000 of the '09-'15 TDI have been already been totaled-out or otherwise dismantled through natural automobile death causes? Where do these count in the 85% goal- would 85% of the 490k...

*floor mat :p Happy 'Fools day ya'll....

Yeah, don't know what I was thinking posting this...too much Wayne Carini I guess! :rolleyes:

"TDI" monster mats discontinued/superceeded If you want a new set, ever, best get some now, IF you can. Be careful though, if you ask for TDI ones they may hand you generic model ones, in my case "Jetta"....two dealers tried to pull this and I turned them down. 6 dealers in this town, I checked...
