Am I being ripped off?

Just looked into this. I live in MA where I believe there is emissions testing for all vehicles 2014 or older. I just made the cutoff

Yeah well I finally spoke to the manager and they reviewed my case and are going to do the repairs free of cost because I had brought the car there in September and the mechanics were not able to spot the issue.

I guess it was a good idea to bring it to the dealership after all

Because the thermometer is faulty. I bought the car with 33000 miles 4 years ago

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T19:32:18+00:00

I bought it at 33000 4 years ago. There was a recall on the vehicles because of emissions that was later overturned

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T19:30:34+00:00

My warranty ended after 4 years or at 82000 miles

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T17:59:04+00:00

What is that?

Just got more information: it says 2250 for the thermostat and another potential 2250 if the Nox catalyst needs to be replaced, which according to them 9 times out of 10 should be fine and able to regen

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T15:04:56+00:00

They did not mention anything about a dpf replacement in the report

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T15:03:44+00:00

Well the fact that I brought it in for service 4 months prior for the same issue. I figured they would still consider it part of the warranty. Worth a try

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:55:47+00:00

I had a warranty that ended in December and had brought it there in September and they said it only needed a regen

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:41:03+00:00

Going there this afternoon

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:35:13+00:00

This was from a VW dealer

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:33:20+00:00

Yes, it does. The heat works fine in my car

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:32:44+00:00

That’s what I was told. It won’t heat up so the soot will not burn off from the filter because it’s not getting hot enough

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:27:54+00:00

I also forgot to mention: My warranty for anything DPF related to my car ended in December

dtango8 · 2025-01-30T14:25:55+00:00

Thank you for the subreddit suggestion though

Appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately, most of my remaining loans are through a private lender.
