Ah, thanks for Mentioning the warranty that VW gives you post-fix. I don't think I knew that, or at least I didn't know how extensive it is. For sure I'd take that over whatever power increase an after,artery retune would give me. A stock DSsG TDI can't be any slower, or slower-feeling, than a 4cyl/auto 2003 accord, which is good enough. (I mean, my 911 is probably slower than a new V6 Camry but do I care? No.) I'm aware that they're not as DIY-friendly as an Accord (or Subaru) but I think I can live with what I know. Then some ridiculous thing happens to my friends GTI and I wonder why I think I want a VW, but our friends TDI JSW was perfectly reliable? I am informed by both that a VAGCOM is mandatory for people like us so I factor that into the cost of purchase. I find the DSG service ridiculous but am told it is DIyable, you just have to buy exactly the right oil and only that oil.
