Thats probably the nicest complaint I've heard about them. I'm
shocked by how quickly they drop support for older models. 10 years
is about the limit. Fortunately the TDI specific stuff is in demand
so the aftermarket has picked up pretty well.
TDI guys especially complain about lack of any diesel knowledge in
the dealership which is weird because 25-30% of all the cars are
diesel. Stuff like injection pumps getting replaced for a dirty fuel
filter are common. Then the IP is mistimed and the car never runs
right again. There are TDI Gurus that buy cars from the dealership
for pennies after the dealer mechanics screw them up (and the dealer
takes them on trade) and flip for good profit.

Sad. In the 60s, vw dealers were know for good service. GUess they
are the same as all the other stealers now.
