timb posted:By the way, doing DSG service by hand is pretty easy. You don't even need the fancy fill tool or VAG-COM. Did you just remove the filter, drain, measure, fill and then install the new filter? Did you use the snorkel they mention on myturbodiesel? I just got a 2010 golf tdi and it needs the brake fluid flushed. Seems pretty straight forward from the instructions here and here. Is there anything I should look out for?

Any recommendations for a reasonable all-season tire for a 2010 Golf TDI? I'm currently leaning towards Continental ExtremeContact DWS as they seem pretty reasonable. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...romCompare1=yes

Goetta posted:My 2009 GTI is about ready for its 40k maintenance which includes DSG service according to the manual. I've been looking around to see what this specifically entails and have found the following so far: I've never heard anything about skipping the service, but here is a post that explains how to do it yourself. The DSG fluid is like $80. You need a $5 funnel and some metric sockets (~$20 for me). But it is really easy to do. Here is a longer article about doing it yourself.

My 2010 Golf TDI has some pretty badly frayed seats. I tried fixing it with no-fray fabric glue and I'm considering burning the loose threads with a lighter. But before that I figured I should see about getting my local dealer to replace the seat covers. Has anyone heard of VW Dealers replacing the seat covers on out of warranty TDIs? It's more or less a known defect, so it seems to me like being out of warranty shouldn't matter.

Phuzun posted:An upholster would be able to do that, call up a body shop if you need local recommendations. The dealer will likely take your money and out source it anyways. Oh I meant replacing them for free. They apparently do it for VWs still under warranty and I was hoping I might have a shot at getting them to do it after the warranty expired.

veedubfreak posted:Going that new, I'd just buy new. So far my 11 Golf TDI has been great. The newer the car, in theory the less likely to have the HPFP grenade on you too. I bought my 2010 Golf TDI last October for $18k in Ohio. The market will be different where he is, but that's still ~$7k cheaper than a new TDI.

My 2010 tdi wont start. Probably a combination of it being 4 degrees out today and the car sitting for 10 days. It cranks and the indicator lights flash but doesnt start. That makes me worry its not the battery. It had a full fuel tank with fuel additive while it sat. Im borrowing jumper cables to try to jump it. Any suggestions if that dont work?

So my 2010 TDI Golf is throwing a "P0472 - Exhaust Pressure Sensor Low" code. I haven't noticed any decreased mileage or anything else, which makes me think it's the sensor. Should I just order a new G450 sensor? It sounds like it's easy to swap out, but I can't find any walk through or guide. Also, it's been taking longer to start, so I asked autozone to do a battery check. Apparently the battery is fine but the starter failed and was pulling 36 amps. Can I trust autozone's amp reading?

I'm not exactly happy with the "don't ever get it updated" angle as driving something that pollutes that bad would grate on me in a bad way. How bad is the pollution without the update? Is it just the EPA being overzealous compared to the EU? Or is it putting out some really bad stuff?

I'm wondering what the likely payout from a class action lawsuit would be. The Honda excessive oil burning class action lawsuit from 2014 reportedly netted less than $300 a person. I'm trying to find info from the GM ignition lawsuit, but that one's hard because some people died or were injured so the payout varies. The max for small claims court in my county is $3,000. So I wonder if I should just take VW to small claims court instead of rolling the dice with a class action lawsuit.

Couldn't everyone just take VW to small claims court? The dollar limit in most states would cover your damages. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/small-claims-suits-how-much-30031.html What would happen if a couple thousand VW enthusiasts took VW to small claims court all over the country?

Cyrano4747 posted:VW would loving dance in the streets if all that came of this was having to pay a few million in damages to small claims settlements that they didn't even bother to send a lawyer to. It's not like the class action lawsuits would go away just because a bunch of people sued in small claims court. If I thought that VW owed me $20 I would probably just join the class action suit. I would do the same if I was claiming $1m in damages as I don't have the money to fight a big case like that. But $1,000 to $3,000 seems like it might be a sweet spot where it makes sense to go to small claims court. Also do you really think VW wouldn't send anyone to fight in small claims court? I'm hoping that myturbodiesel or another forum will add a new FAQ called "How to sue VW" and I can just print that off.

I scheduled my 80k service at a nearby dealer that had pretty good reviews so I could use my $500 GC. Dropped it off late at night Friday for the work to be done Saturday. Called at 2:30PM to check in since I hadn't heard anything - the service department had already closed and I could only talk to sales who were useless. I probably should've called Saturday morning, but right now I have no idea if they did the work or not and they don't open until 7AM Monday. This is definitely worse than any emissions scandal.

IANAL but if KBB value is down X, it seems like it would be pretty easy to argue that VW's deception and law breaking resulted in damages of X to you the owner. I figure I will probably end up going to small claims court, so I'm trying to get as much ammo as I can. veedubfreak posted:Yes they lost resale value, no they did not lose insured value if some shithead totals it. I believe most insurance companies charge extra if you want replacement coverage instead of actual cash value. I know I have actual cash value coverage.

I was curious how much NOx I'm putting out and whether I would be able to sleep at night if I were to get the fix and then get my car tuned. EPA Permissible level : 70mg 10x estimate: 700mg 40x estimate: 2800mg Average in use US passenger vehicle: 700mg Average heavy duty pickup or delivery trucks: 2700-3300mg Average diesel semi: 9000mg Source: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-vw-pollution-footprint-20151007-htmlstory.html Not that bad really, especially considering that 10-40x was the max that regulators found. So it could be that 95% of the time your diesel is under 70mg. I think I will still do the buyback, but I don't think I could really judge someone that decided to get the fix and then tune their car.

Powershift posted:40x is pretty bad though, 2800mg out of what, a 2 liter engine? the 7.3 powerstroke with no cat, no EGR, no emissions equipment at all is at 5972mg, Chipping it up 115hp and 205ft/lbs only increases that to 6268mg. I think the VW 10-40x numbers are the peak, and I think the rest are averages. Though I just realized that if the fix is to install the adblue stuff you might be able to keep your mileage and acceleration without a tune.
