I have a TDI which will be going back to VW. I have read in recent articles that the judge is allowing for VW to export these to other countries with less stringent pollution laws, or to repair them (can we trust VW?) and resell them in the USA. My tendency is to pour a spoonful of valve grinding compound into the motor upon return. This will seize the motor up through main bearing damage fairly quickly. I hate the waste of it but maybe some of you can express your thoughts on whether it is better to render the TDI useless, or allow VW to sell it elsewhere. These forums have intelligent and thoughtful posters so I look forward to your feedback.

What will VW do with TDI diesel buyback cars? It's not what you think
