Long time lurker, first time poster (I think).
I'm putting my '04 Jetta TDI out to pasture since I can't seem to fix the A/C myself. I had thought it was just the blend doors, because that had been an issue for years, especially during the cold winters, but when I finally went in to re-cover them, I suppose I didn't reconnect the Climatronic or whatever correctly and now the Temperature lever sticks to one side and it all still blows out warm. I feel exhausted and ready to move on. Although my precious beast is only at about 222,000 miles right now, it has a slippery transmission, as well.
A lot has happened with VW over the years, but my heart is still enamored with the TDI, and I promise to be better to her this time. I'm hoping I can get some guidance on what to look for in a newer model TDI, probably Passat, say around '14-'18. I don't want to go into the local dealership like a complete jackass, so I'm referring to this trusted community for aid. Thank you.
