We sold Mrs. V's 2012 Sportwagen and my 2015 Passat SE back to VWOA during Dieselgate. After a couple of years of driving a 2013 Fender Beetle 6M chipped out to 261hp, last June I found a 2015 Passat SEL TDI Premium CPO car with low miles and I couldn't refuse. No regrets. One of my sons...

Good news...VWOA replaced the clock spring, gratis, as per the Dieselgate settlement w/USDOJ. Thanks for the response. :D

It seems that MANY of us who own 2015s are experiencing clock springs failures at about 2.5-3 years of service. My son's failed earlier this week. No warranty. This is no different from the clock spring failures of the 2012, 2013, & 2014 model years with the exception that VW is not...

Is there a notable difference in time from turn-in until remittance for those with clean titles when compared to those with liens to clear? A pal turned in his TDI locally last Thursday (1/26) at 1500L. Clean title; no note. EFT completed early this morn (1/30).

One can only hope that VWAG's long term reaction to this debacle does not resemble that of General Motors after their 350cu diesel disaster from decades ago. VW's engineering is sound in comparison to when GM slapped diesel heads on a gasser and declared, "Voila! It's a diesel!". It wasn't...

All of the "required documents" for both of our TDIs were submitted on 9/29. They are still "under review". Mrs. V and I are keeping both. The complete maintenance histories of both are well known to us as I purchased both TDIs new. Only 50K & 17K miles on the clocks, respectively. Both...

Request made on 11/13. Both packages arrived yesterday morn (12/8). I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas...and a NOx-ious New Year! ;)

MOTORWEEK will evaluate the 2013 VW Beetle Convertible during their 5/28 broadcast on Velocity Channel at 8PM ET. Should be interesting...

Pedro: All you do is show up at a GTG. If you need work done on yours, it should be coordinated in advance. At Marty's, workspace is at a premium with the amount cars that usually show up. The hat is passed to help support Marty & Sandy's always excellent effort. Bringing a dish to pass...

Congrats, Kirk. Good luck with the move... Such a wonderful time of year to do that. lol Could be worse...when Deb & I moved here from Duluth (this is for you, Lew!) on 1/29/85 as our convoy pulled out of town the bank thermometer was showing -29F...in the shade! North Plainwell here near...

Good catch, Marcus. Thanks for putting it up. This model is sooooooo tempting. Some retro paint options would be cool. Probably, have to go custom for that. And they said, years ago, that VW would never market a TDI ragtop in NA. HA! Bring it on!

How 'bout some nice SPY-PICS of the New-New Ragtop? Dunno if these are posted elsewhere. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/02/2013-volkswagen-beetle-convertible-fully-revealed-in-spy-photos.html http://garagecar.blogspot.com/2011/11/volkswagen-beetle-convertible-2013-spy.html...

3 cheers for S & M! Wait a sec...that didn't come out right. Once again, another great GTG with weather that will never be better. Thank you, Sandy & Marty, for your Michigan hospitality and for tolerating all of us one more time. p.s...did anybody get a pic of Lodo? I'm attempting a...

Looks like we have a deal with a forum member here. Thanks all, for looking. V

Here ya go... Here is the dent on top of the left pax door windowsill. This is the only rust on the vehicle. A bubble started above the left front fender. One recent paintchip about half the size of a raisin. Injection timing (taken 5/5/12) Top of the...

Working on it. On duty today...

>Five and half years later and still waiting for one of these. Couldn't wait any longer. Bought one last summer from R90SKirk's nephew. Sweet ride!

All of your wheel bolts torqued? Good place to start eliminating possibilities.

Fer free! Come and get it...about 15 gals. All veggie oil, mostly peanut. Let me know...
