Just picked up a 2010 with Lux & Tech package. This is an awesome vehicle! The way I see it, I would rather have the last in the older generation as opposed to the first in the newer generation...I figure they will have most of the bugs worked out by that point??

I vote for ball joints. Any creaking when turning?

Plan on spending $2-4k to bring the car up to snuff...there's a reason it's cheap! Other than that, they're great cars and will run forever if treated right.

I built a false floor for mine so the folded rear seats are flush with trunk floor...

I've always wondered why I don't see more auto ejects on this forum. Great feature to have up North...

This is a PITA! But my car shifts like new after doing this and the shift turret bushings on top of the trans.

Man, I have replaced every serviceable valve and/or seal on the injection pump (with great apprehension at first).But, it'll save you buying the whole pump...and so far I'm at 340,000 miles on the original IP...food for thought.

When I worked at a VW dealer, we had a customer trade her 2006 Jetta TDI in on a diesel Cruze & she loved it. Still running it daily pulling a small trailer around for her business. Can't remember what year that was...maybe 2010 or so?

Do you have kids? We used to see a lot of cars where kids put coins in the CD slot...

Man, I literally cut my fuel bill in half when I got a TDI!

Beast!

I should also add that I have managed both parts & service depts. in a VW dealership, so I have dealt with these guys on both ends without issue.

DSG seems to hold up fine if you maintain it. The clutch pack may need replacing after 200k or so though...

I would check the shift cable ends at the transmission and also the levers that they attach to. How much slop does the shifter have inside the car?

I did this a while back(for off road use, of course). I have to say, that was the easiest cat i've ever removed! It was off in about 10min. It took quite a while to clean out, though...that's some Tuff material! I'd say give it 1-1.5 hours due to the difficulty of cleaning out the cat.

My new Kenwood runs hot too! Check your battery voltage...I noticed my HU getting really hot when I first installed it. Turns out my battery was just about dead from having the stereo on for a few hours while working on the car. So when the voltage got low,that sucker really heated up.
