I'm gonna guess that your TDI is 2006 or earlier.

Nope. 2014 beetle convertible.

And a dedicated forum.

this scandal wouldn't put me off a TDI, but I've had other issues, plus I'd like to see a few more years on the common rail system, before I did it again.

I got gelled a few times too.

Now the big boys are playing for keeps.

"The allegations against Volkswagen, along with its Audi and Porsche units, carry penalties that could cost the automaker billions of dollars, a senior Justice Department official said. VW could face fines in theory exceeding $90 billion – or as much as $37,500 per vehicle per violation of the law, based on the complaint. In September, government regulators initially said VW could face fines in excess of $18 billion"

A tough lesson learned, or not.
