rubberneck Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Oh fuck I have one of the affected TDI passats. Thing is a fucking turd sandwich. As soon as warranty is gone its gone. Its had over 10k in warranty work.. Problem is now resale is shit because they havent actually fixed the emmissions problem. My guess is that either power, mileage or both is going to plummet to make it compliant. Most likely i will just have to trade it in and take the dry ass fucking that comes with it Quote
rubberneck Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 You do realize Ford bought all of its diesel engines from International for 25 years or more right? The new 6.7 is actually the first Ford diesel to go in their pickups. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk I said buy a good motor Quote

But I go back in 3 years for the 2018 and continue on with it until I decide just to buy it out. Quote

Lol No, I am not going to turn this debate into a personal attack on your character or on what you do to earn a living. My point was this: You know as well as I do then that there is a reason they say physicians are "Practicing Medicine" Even some of the most highly educated people in our society, doctors, don't have all the answers every time and they even make mistakes. They are learning new ways everyday. The same reality holds true for the big three truck manufacturers. Constantly learning and improving based upon finding out what does and does not work. Quote

And both are driven by 1 thing...money. Quote
