I’m wondering if anyone with a TDI in the US has had any experience getting
parts for a repair…
On Saturday we were at a dealer looking to buy/drive a TDI. I saw that they
had had 2 sedans on Friday. But on Saturday afternoon, one was sold and one
was disabled. It had had its alternater removed to send to a dealer in NJ,
which had sold a car with a defective alternator. They had pulled the
alternator from a car in NH to ship to NJ, because presumably there were no
parts available except by stripping a car on the lot. I don’t know if that
is going to scare me off from buying one, but I am more nervous than I was!

The other way of lookng at it is the car is going to be SO HOT, they will
sell a zillion of them (especially w/the recent upswing in gas prices).
Although there’s a shortage of parts NOW, speaks well that they can’t make
the parts fast enough to satisfy demand.

I bought it despite my slight trepidations. And indeed, the car is going to
be so hot, especially given the current trend in gas prices. Best car I’ve
ever had, including a ’91 gas Passat (which I still have and like.)
The really nice thing about the TDI is how quiet it is on the highway at 65
mph or so. With all that low-end power they’ve geared it down so far…
I love it!
