    problem with regens

    Does anyone have an idea of how to get the TDI to do a regen when you do a lot of short trips with out going on a 100 mile run every few weeks. Most of my miles are on long trips several times a year,but in between I use the car for 5-10 miles trips. I get a CEL every year .

    Any ideas for a INDY along CT shoreline?

    I would like to find a good TDI shop in the Eastern CT shoreline for work on a Treg and JSW. I have used Old Saybrook VW,but would like a shop to do some basic service at rates better than standard charges for example $600 for 40K mi Treg service, $400 DSG service on the JSW. Thanks for the help.
