I don't want to know what's next....

Richdave, I thought mine improved too... But the pump/km figures haven't really changed after 3 months... The main difference is that previously the MFD was optimistic by about 0.2l/100km, now it's about 0.5-0.6l/100km....

Hi all, actually went about this the wrong way and posted under the "Passat" header first instead of the "Newbie" area. My car is a MY 2008 125TDI Passat Station Wagon which was my pride and joy until it stopped. So, after reading this forum's content for some time now, I thought I'd join. Although the car is fixed now, the experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I was all set to trade it in for a new Polo GTi. Got in early, paid deposit etc. for delivery end of this month, when unfortunately it turned out that "the car was not on the ship after all" and delivery would be more likely later in the year. Got my deposit back okay but am now facing my Passat's warranty running out in April and not sure wether or not to "invest" the quoted $3500 or so in extended warranty..... It's done nearly 60000 so will have to take that into account as well. I wonder if there is a warranty period covering the newly replaced injectors? Any advice would be much appreciated.....
