Stereo died again!!
Reporting the issue for the second time so I am copying and pasting the story for the second time. Here goes:
2010 Jetta TDI. The stereo completely died...AGAIN!! Currently September 2018. The same thing happened in August 2016. Here is the story:
Aug 2016. Stereo went blank and had no power. Took it in for service and paid $120 to diagnose it was not working and can't be fixed. Dealer would have to order a new one. Waited a couple weeks for a new one to come in. It was installed and we had to give the old one back. Bill was $980. Also lost the CD's that were in the old one. Now, 2 years later the 'New unit', just died. This time I checked the fuse, then removed the unit myself and replaced the internal 15 a minifuse and that still didn't fix the problem.
Called the dealer, VW of Oakville Ontario, Canada and they basically gave me the stiff arm. Told me warranty for new unit is gone and too bad so sad but they can't do anything.
Now I go online and see this is a common problem.Much greater than a statistical average of common failure.
I generally keep my vehicles for up to 10 years with minimal problems. I have NEVER had a stereo die like that. Now to have two stereos go like that and to find out this is a common problem, I am extremely disappointed that the Dealer won't extend any goodwill or even acknowledge it is a problem.
Have to say I have liked the car but with the amount of time I have had to spend dealing with VW on the Emission issue and now 'unacknowledged' radio problem, I will move on to another make of car.
