I will have the car on March 17th and would like to have someone familiar with this vintage go over the car early the following week.
I have a 7 day refusal window. I don’t expect problems but being cautious. I was at two dealers recently that had 2015s with major problems, one had undocumented damage that got into the engine and one had the converter completely missing. Just want the car looked over for really bad stuff. Way more complex than my ALH.

I honestly would find a VW mechanic familiar with diesels, or even a dealership. A dealer can tell you the full history of the cars maintance, recalls, etc. You will want to see the particulate trap life, EGR condition, etc. The emissions seems to be the biggest problem with these cars if not taken care of well, and the dieselgate stuff didnt do anything good for it either
