It's interesting and sad that you either get a good VW or you get a turd. Unfortunately :mahman: Gberg has been dealt turds twice now. The super odd thing is it's a later model MK7 not the first model year or anything.
Yep. 4 VW's and 2 straight turds. I guess waiting till all the kinks get worked out doesn't apply to VW.

I'm not holding my breath on the buyback though. I assume they'll tell it's fixable.
To be fair it’s just a ghost CE light I don’t see that as a real issue ... it’s annoying AF. Not like that leaves you stranded etc, not like it shouldn’t be fixed though. That part is crap

Who knows. Maybe that's what the dillerman fix will be. I come out to the car and see electrical tape over it.

Average joes don’t drive golf Rs. They drive Jetta S models with 3 mismatched tires, 17,350 since the last oil change and a bottle of stale milk under the front passenger seat

Don't forget about cheerios everywhere too.

I hope it doesn't take them too long to diagnose it. I'm leaving town Wednesday and Thursday I'll be driving true aryan perfection. A 911 C2S at the Poorsche experience center.

Yeah. I don't think it should take long since it's really out of the dillers hands. It's all on VW for the fix.

Somewhat. Usually they're booked up so maybe it was because VW made the appointment for me.

I just need it back before Wednesday night.

It's okay. It's a total appliance. Very soft and floaty but for the average joe it's probably great. I think it has the :jalepenis: 1.4t.
