[Vwdiesel] Been a while

[James Hansen]

Yeah, that's the spirit.  Turning the 13 Passat in friday, already have a low mile neutered 15 Passat that gets fixed proper after it's off warranty in March. Supposed to be more power, but just got back from a 9 hour drive today.  With the emissions fix, it's got less go than the 13 in stock tune for sure, and the 15 numbers out at more hp. 44mpg too in usg. not spectacular. that shall improve.
Did you source the A3 from a dealer Jason?  Here (saskatchewan) word is they are crushing all the A3's. I see a big jail full of them by the racetrack in Saskatoon.

We bought our A3 after dieselgate for a good price.  It`s going in for the
`fix` later this week.  Then I`ll fix it with Malone software :)
