Well, I had the LNT 2012 Jetta.. had about 40k miles, only a couple of minor warranty repairs, then I discovered the weak HPFP. I did my first fuel filter change and found metal particles. VW wanted me to think it was OK?! And charge me to tell me it was normal ( it is not!). Right after that, emissions scandal hit the news.. a few days later I traded it for the first Cruze TD while it's value had not yet gone through the floor. VW cheated emissions to save $300 per car, the crappy HPFP they used is $600 cheaper than what the Cruze has.. that was all I needed to get out. The VW wasn't a bad car other than that. More room, the DSG is a great transmission, and I would prefer a manual, not an option with Cruze. We have had a new DPF in the first week, a NOx sensor, a new ECU, and a new O2 sensor. That is not trouble free.. but my wife likes this car. We have a high score of 59mpg, average of 41, and over 19k miles. With a growing family, I began to look at cars.. I'd love a manual, but not happening with a Turbo Diesel.. thought about 2017 when they were available... Then happened to find a 2015 TD, used. Seemed like a good deal.. got it.. seems OK, but had a P2598, P0299. Seems a fluke, boost pressures look normal.. cleared it and will monitor. Got me to dig into maintenance history.. found out the used car dealer had it serviced to correct a mis-fuel with gas.. of course not a history they shared... Hopefully it did not cause long term damage.. it would KILL a weak HPFP on a VW. This car was driven over 44000 in 10 months!! Appears to have had all required service, had GM customer care go through it with me, along with last servicing dealer. It's going to be interesting to see what I got myself into here.
