    2015 GSW Fuel Gauge is Inaccurate!

    So I purchased my 2015 TDI GSW brand new after it sat on the dealer lot for 2 years awaiting release from the Dieselgate scandal. The very 1st thing that I noticed and has annoyed me ever since has been the inaccuracy of the fuel gauge. The gauge can show well over a 1/4 tank of fuel left...

    ALH motor, BRAND NEW, not rebuilt ZERO MILES - Virginia

    Ok, I kinda of understand now. These engines could have been used by the EPA to test for emissions correct? I mean why else would the US Government need a bunch of VW diesel engines sitting around? I guess they could have used them for generators.......

    Ahh yes, Denim Blue! I have the exact same car, except mine is a DSG and a convertible! I have 80k on mine and it performs flawlessly! I am thinking of doing an APR tune on it. Suppose to give it 20 more HP and 40 more ft. lbs. of torque.

    Well, to be honest with you, it only had 8000 miles on it less than a year ago and that's when I decided I needed to drive it more before something stupid happened and it was out of warranty. So, I got rid of my 2004 TDI Jetta and got this thing on the road, and have been driving it daily ever...
