This is absolutely correct. VW TDIs are excellent cars, but the problem with these is you CANNOT use the dealer for service. VW dealers are notorious for over-filling and using the wrong oil, for not using the proper tools or parts to replace timing belts, for causing more damage and covering it up. The new CR TDIs have $4000-$10,000 bills if the dealer or factory determines you used bad fuel, and I suspect they are covering up for a poorly manufactured or designed fuel system.
Eyes open.
