I'm going to be picking up a '12 Sportwagen at the end of the month. 62+K miles, manual, pano, "fixed" summer of '19. This will be my first diesel and first VW. I'm sure there's going to be a learning curve for me. I'd like to get it in to a mechanic to go over it as soon as I get it. Should I just take it to the dealership to check for any recall or warranty work that needs to be done? Are there any shops in the Easton, PA area or within an hour from there that specialize in TDIs? I'm guessing it might be a good idea to have all the filters/fluids done. Given the cars age, would it be a good idea to do the timing belt job as well just to be safe? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated to get me started on this new adventure with a TDI VW.
