Saw this on the vortex - supply is slowly building up. The first post was in VA, next was in IL. It looks like the initial demand has died down. Either that or the dealers are asking too much. This should give customers some negotiating room.

NO affiliation whatsoever, but I was at West Broad VW in Richmond this evening, and they have 4 JSW TDIs, didn't appear any of them were claimed. Didn't have a chance to look at options, but one of them had what looked like 18" Goals. Good looking rims. westbroadvw.com
We actually wanted a 2.5 S JSW and I had trouble finding it in Chicagoland. Every dealer is stacked up with TDIs, we had to dealer trade to get the S. I even had one dealer ask why I even wanted a 2.5, TDI is the way to go, of course that was all he had on his lot
The car was for my wife and she was happy with the gas engine, plus the TDI would have been a lot higher.
IMHO, the little negotiating room available will be inversely proportional to the year-by-year reduction in IRS tax credit as VW/Audi sell more TDIs. The "deal" would come out in the wash.
I know the OP is talking about the short-term increase in inventory, but my point is that a TDI will be touted as a premium for at least the next year.
While there are countless threads discussing the setting of the Torsion Value on PD engines, I have yet to find a good technical description of why it even needs to be messed with (versus zeroing it) and why it is a thing at all. Granted, I mainly come from the world of engines with timing...
Window washers, bk wiper, cigarette lighter, heater fan all stopped working in one go have tried all fuses and they are fine anyone any ideas. This has me confused 🤷♀️
VCDS showing 4 faults. Auxillary heater element. Part #1KO963235E. Drivers electric window motor. Drivers door mirror blinker. Locking module on drivers door.
All these are working. How do I find out what is causing the faults.
I have an 05 Jetta bew tdi that I need to change the turbo on I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to help me do it faster or more efficiently.
So I have a 06 Jetta with brm motor. Say I got a remanufactured turbo without a new actuator because my old actuator was in good working condition. How would I go about setting the actuator rod to the correct length before putting it on the car?
