Wife bought a leftover '14 TDI Sportwagen in June. We just rolled over 5k miles since we took a trip to Georgia last week.

AVERAGING in mixed driving is 39 mpg and we haven't even gotten the first oil change done and break-in oil is still in there. My buddy is pushing 30k miles with the same car and now averaging 45-47 mpg.

The car is great, drives like a champ and is fun and torquey, and the mileage is awesome, we are totally happy with it but I'm sure the class action lawsuit is underway from owners who are personally injured since they purchased a TDI.

Be interesting to see what the mileage is after the fix is installed.

So maybe once we get rid of all this DEF and SCR crap, our mileage will go up as well, not that high but im sure it will go up to 30
Now, where to find $2k for this "mod"

I'm sure it will hamper performance, and mileage. According to the EPA, the recall will not be mandatory (perhaps if the vehicle is sold one would need the recall to be performed prior to registering to a new owner), and you would still pass your state emissions tests for the most part anyway so its a non-issue for me.

Once the warranty is up I plan on chipping the car anyway so personally its not really an issue I'm concerned about. However, if VW sold a car claiming 40+ mpg, and a software update was mandated to correct their false advertisement reduces mileage by 10-15% or more as well as engine performance, you bet I'd be looking for a reimbursement of sorts by VW, because we would have bought a non-diesel model if that was the case and obviously we paid a bit of a premium for the diesel based on VW's pricing and diesel pricing in general.

Funny thing is, I wanted my wife to get a CC 2.0T, she fell in love with the diesel wagon though.

Can't imagine it will not be mandatory. The cars are not emissions compliant. They should not be allowed to be operated in that state.

I don't know if the EPA has that kind of authority

You mean, they'd leave half million non-compliant emission cars just putt-putting around I dont think so.
