Hello all,
After agreeing to VW settlement VW modified my 2012 TDI Passat in 2017, the care has been in the shop every 3-9 months for DEF system issues. The problem is that there is nothing wrong with the system.
Whats happening is that the current configuration cannot reduce NOx to the specified parameters so it tells the operator theAdBlue needs refilled. The problem is the DEF tank is practically full. Starts shut down countdown at 200 miles. Have to find dealer to clear codes.
As of now they have no fix. They claim it only is happening in colder climates.
Three months ago they replaces NOx cat and sensor and codes triggered. This time they replaced perfectly good injectors that bench tested fine. In other words the just replaced thousands of dollars of working parts under warranty even though a shade tree can tell you it won’t fix it.
2018 VW sent a letter telling us not to drive 80+mph for over 15mins and we should be fine. I don’t I drive 75mph for just over an hour and my dash lights up like it’s Christmas with all the bells.
4th shop visit still no fix. Anyone else have the issue?
