You have the Gen2 engine. How do you like it? I do not think there was a true fix for either V6 TDIs. I have read that the EPA just forced VW to buy back 85% of the Audi/VW/Porsche TDIs or be penalized heavily per vehicle if they do not meet that number. This is probably the reason why they were very generous with the offers.

I stumbled upon this one while shopping for a Jettasportwagen. I have since mounted Audi Q7 21" wheels with summer tires. I have done a good baseline by doing the fuel filter, fluid updates for the transfer case, rear diff, and front diff. I also did the transmission service (fluid/filter).
The V6 TDI is beastly. And that's correct, I believe mine was also a part of the buy back. I purchased it CPO'd with a 2 year warranty due the TDI issues.

I'm in the process of adding a Malone Tuning Stg 2 tune. Love the wheels! I've been looking for a set, I always loved the look of those wheels back when they showed up on the B7 RS4.
