OK fine, VW corporate says reflash, dealer reflashes. So I look on line for a place that can reflash it to get it back to where it was. So I type in my zip for "The Installer Near YOU !" address and IT'S THE DEALERSHIP THAT CRIPPLE FLASHED IT TO BEGIN WITH! and for the low cost of 500$, you know the 500 they gave you for the good will package.  |
If I had to guess, I would say that the site that refereed you to the dealer to reflash the car to original is wrong. Given that VW is already in seriously deep water to begin with, having an authorized dealer charging to put the car back into violation of state and federal law would be .... well against the law and I bet the EPA would smack that dealer so hard it would be felt in Germany.
