Generation 1 TDI Modification: The Repair is Live!

Generation 1 TDI Modification: The Repair is Live!

Remember Dieselgate, the VW TDI scandal? Well the first generation fix is now out for the TDI Golf, Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, and Beetles. The TDI fix will include a NoX cat, oxygen sensor, EGR parts, and possibly a DPF. There will be no Ad-blue on the gen 1 TDIs. It would have really been great to know this would have been the TDI fix for the early TDIs.
