Totally off topic but for some good news to start 2017
Carlos and Lucas Salom from Argentina are running the Dakar race in a VW diesel.
Will also post in general forum for comments.

I must have a "fixed one" already. I never got anywhere near 37. Best I ever saw was 33 on one all highway trip. (Not knocking 33, I was happy with that)

Any update on when P dealers can sell either new or used CDs?

Ever since getting mine out of the VW dealer a year ago for repair of an exhaust leak, mine has never done better than 25 on highway. Prior to that I saw in the low 30's. I'm convinced they did a software tweak but they denied it.

I believe it was in the Nov. court transcripts. The Gen 1 are those being bought back. For Gen 2 (us 958.1?), VW wants to do software plus hardware change. For Gen 2.2 (the 958.2?) just software. I am just speculating from the approved fix of the later generation 2.0 (2015 only) that EPA/CARB will just approve whatever we read on the Nov 2016 transcripts.

[edit: Maybe POA will also modify the 958.1 CD engines to 958.2 specs?]

What is the difference between the engines? Is it software only? Bolt on parts? Or machined parts? If the machined, I'd suspect no way, but if not, and it's cheaper to make that change and apply the fix, it would certainly make sense. Which means it couldn't possibly happen....

Found this article this morning. Sounds like negotiations are still proceeding.

Interesting...

Is a dealer demo considered new or used?
