If your HPFP grenades, and you don't have the thing installed, VW won't pay to fix - even if you are under warranty. Happened to someone here at TDIClub.
Each car should be looked at individually, regardless of ownership. We are thinking early buyback on one and waiting until 2018 to make the final decision on the other. As long as I stay under the 12,000 miles a year, the buyback or fix compensation stays the same.
I saw TDI wagen on RAGBRAI last week but never saw the owners. So, therefore, never got to talk to them about the whole situation.
Nah. Should just let em ride. Brakes are superfluous/overrated.
Especially rear brakes! HahaNah. Should just let em ride. Brakes are superfluous/overrated.
It's almost never worth getting rotors turned these days- imo. I replaced my rear pads before any scoring of the rotors and just slapped new pads on. Good as new. If they were scored/warped, new rotors would have gone on.
Same thing happened to me around the holidays last year. Mine was accompanied by P00AF, P0234, two codes I got not sure if exactly same as yours but if it is, you're looking at a bad VNT Turbo actuator.
vw is going to mess this up big time.
VW is essentially an extended arm of the German government. They are way more embedded there than GM could even dream of here. They are not going down.Do not trust the financial strength of vw going forward -- vw may be strong enough to make it -- but IF we have horrible world "THANGS"
I could be wrong, but some perusing around here makes it look like the addition of this code could point towards a different cause than my issue.
LOL my Jetta is parked way out in a horse paddock, go out once a week and drive it around to charge the battery.
I thought about just disconnecting the battery and doing this, but I'd end up with squirrels or rats eating the wiring harness or something. I think I'm safer to drive mine. If nothing else, put some kind of deterrent in the engine bay for wire-hungry pests.
Please don't quote him in your reply, you're encouraging him to rant endlessly about nothing and I have to see his rhetoric. Better yet do the same as I have done and add him to your ignore list.
Hi sandydeb
This is not exactly true. I believe that there is relatively little connection between VWAG and the German Federal Government. However, it is true that one (of 16) German States (where Wolfsburg is located) is heavily invested in the company. This is the only big connection between VWAG and any German Government entity. It may also be possible that other State's pension plans could have some VW stock, but they are not a significant owner.
If memory serves me right, the German state of Lower Saxony owns upwards of 20% of WV's common stock.
Common Stocks
You're correct. In terms of influencing VW...the biggest deal for Lower Saxony is not the 20% of common stock ownership though, but the 20% voting rights.
Not sure what you're trying to say...Common Stocks
During the German hyperinflation after WW 1, a single American Penny was equal to 42,000,000,000 Marks
He's not even sure what he's trying to say half the time.
Lower Saxony is the one German State (out of 16) that I mentioned above.
Again "Germany" does not own any of VW. One State in Germany does. This would be like saying that The State of Michigan owned part of GM. In fact it was the US Federal Government that bailed out GM not the State of Michigan. In Germany it is one state that is heavily invested in VW - NOT the country of Germany.
This isn't paranoia. At least around my house, the squirrels are out to get me. I had a Nissan Pickup as a 3rd vehicle, parked outside my house. Got in one day and "nothing".
It doesn't take direct governmental share ownership, to be an "arm". To boot, a recent article on ECB quantitative easing included buying VW's bonds.
