There's a few exhaust pieces swapped out... that's it. Plus new software.Any noticeable differences in vehicle behaviour or performance, fuel economy?
it seems there are considerable parts replaced for the fix
- entire exhaust gas after treatment system
- entire fuel system
- exhaust gas recirculation system
- air intake, air cooler, etc
- turbocharger
- glow plugs
- on board diagnostic system
Not sure if it makes sense to get the fix or take buyout instead?
Everything you list there is covered by the warranty, but you aren't getting a new turbo or fuel system in a 6 hour appointment.
To the CEL code above - take it back right now. The recall (fix) is independent of the cheque. The car had the fix done, so RP will check that and issue you the funds. VW can't 'undo' the fix now.... they made their bed, so to speak.
