my 2010 jetta tdi is apparently a dirty dub.
I bought the car last year (april) thinking “pretty clean, miles per gallon works out nice, little bit of premium for diesel fuel, DSG, torque, and euro appeal”.
Now i know the tdi’s have complex and sensitive emissions systems that don’t perform up to snuff and are expensive as hell when they do break. Current line of thinking says get out of the car now and see what else is out there. Gas is cheap again and the difference between gassers and diesels continues to shrink.
Initial thoughts are get out of this car and into a Mk6 or 7 GTI or something. I still like vws. According to KBB, i’d be in the hole a little bit on my loan and would likely roll it over to whatever i get into next.
Tl;dr: SMDH at sneaky diesel engineers.

I’m in the same boat. 2010 Golf TDI. Slightly in the hole on the loan, and thinking maybe getting rid of it now would be a good idea but... not sure.

1) keep it
2) sue VW for lost resale value
3) ... ? Hire Steve Lehto!
4) profit!

Regarding this situation? With the EPA cheat?
If they lose alot of resale value, you’ll see me contacting VW to collect my moneyz.

Yeah, there’s a “tdi class action lawsuit” being filed by hbsslaw. I likely won’t join in as i don’t believe those class action lawsuits do shit for consumers.
