LOL!! Opinions are like AHOLES......EVERYONE HAS ONE.....I see opinions on here are not allowed if they differ from yours.
However, I make no apologies for disagreeing with you.
From the link posted, it appears that the Flashzilla will only work with 2000 to 2008 model year vehicles.Buy a Flashzilla and record the orignal programming tune then get the "fix". Flash the old back whenever you want. Should help if they won't re-register until the fix is done.

The Prious is such a soul-less car to drive... it's really a shame the US doesn't get more small fuel efficient cars, our options kind of suck. Of the few fun AFFORDABLE cars that get 40+mpg, I think the VW TDI series is hands down the best in the US. I am going to hang on to both my TDI's for the time being, but will most definitely give the TDI a serious consideration when the time comes to replace one.My purchase decision (in late 2014) was neck-and-neck between a 2015 Golf and a 2015 Prius. If I'd known then what I know now, this scandal would have more than tipped the scale to the Prius.
If they stop selling TDIs, your resale value should go up. There are fanatics who want them and will pay, even if it's irrational.Today is my one month anniversary of owning my 2015 GSW TDI S. I voted no because:
1. I'm very concerned about my resale value now.
2. I'm concerned about the performance of my TDI after a recall fix
3. I'm also concerned about the fuel economy after a recall fix
Last, but a bit less important, is that I touted how my little diesel wagon was a smart choice compared to the ugly little hybrids and high priced electric vehicles out there. Fuel efficient and low emissions, I said. Now I will get to eat humble pie in the office.
If they stop selling our 2009-2015 models, that means that there is no trade in value (dealers can't sell them forward), and that the entire fleet may end up in the scrap heap.If they stop selling TDIs, your resale value should go up. There are fanatics who want them and will pay, even if it's irrational.
Your performance probably won't suffer. For the 2015+ cars equipped with the AdBlue system they can probably just increase the usage of AdBlue fluid. The 2009-2014 models are the ones people should be more concerned about. They don't have AdBlue, so it's not as simple as using more reagent. Don't know what they'll do about those ones, but probably nothing anyone will like.
Oh?Older models just went up in value.
Thanks Mike. I appreciate your much friendlier response.If they stop selling TDIs, your resale value should go up. There are fanatics who want them and will pay, even if it's irrational.
