It ain't cheating til you get caught -VW Diesels

Shit just got real.

 

Can that be changed by default? (underline)

 

It doesn't sound like the breadth of the scandal has changed...but it could once a few more execs are in custody if there is something that hasn't yet come to light.

 

I can't believe these motherfuckers fixed 98% of the 2.0 diesels and are now giving up on the 2012-2014 Passats with a manual transmission. Fucking pieces of shit...........oh well, guess it's time to take the payoff and go new car shopping.

Motherfucking motherfuckers.

well they did send folks to jail, so they are not playing around.

 

well they did probably only sell like 6 of them.

get a GTI

 

Cars are strictly utilitarian vehicles to me - I have streetbikes for enjoying myself. Looking at a CX-9, although the 350 hitch capacity is borderline to carry my wr250 with a moto carrier.

Maybe I'll get a truck............but loading/unloading bikes into a truck by yourself fucking sucks.

 

Get a hitch carrier.

 

I've got a moto-tote. That weighs ~70 pounds and my WR is ~275ish, so right at the limit of what the CX-9's hitch can handle. If VW weren't such cock gobblers, I was going to have a class III hitch installed on my Passat (currently has a class I) to carry my WR.

can't go wrong with a Mazda

 

Sorry they don't have a fix for your 2.0. Just take the money and get a used Touareg TDI. It will handle up to 660 or 700 lb, depending on which version of the owners manual you get. No I am not joking about that.

I am planning on taking my 3.0 TDI Treg in to get the fix after the Holiday craziness dies down. Nice extended warranty, free DEF for a few years, and a total of about $9500 in my pocket. Word is the effects of the 3.0 fix changes are fairly minor, but irritating to some. If I had the option of a buyback I would have taken it and spent the money on a used Cayenne.

 

still waiting on the fire sale prices on the Q7 TDI's.

 

Negative on another diesel - my driving patterns have changed enough that a diesel isn't the best vehicle for me.

 

Yeah, if you are shopping a CX9 then the Atlas would be the competition not the Treg anyway.

 

The new Tiguan is pretty nice and the motor has a lot of room for hp

Once you get your “fix” done, get it tuned by goapr.com.

 

Unless something about the fix really annoys me, I will leave it alone and not risk having a warranty claim denied.
