2013 golf TDI, rawtek kit and Malone stage2 done about a year ago. No limp mode, seems to run normal. There is a wiring issue with a reverse light.The glow plug light is flashing and the check engine light came on. Local shop told me they couldn’t read the codes because it’s been tuned, which specializes in VW. Looking for ideas, tips. Car has new clutch, slave and master, timing belt, water pump and only 73,000 miles. I’ve read plenty of posts so I know someone will say, “what are the codes?” The VCDS will read the codes after being tuned?

Those who own a Mk4 jetta with the 09A automatic transmission, how has it been? Is it reliable? Is it delicate and needs to be babied?

Hey guys

Bought my 2011 VW 6 speed golf in 2018 with 28,000 miles. Has 98K miles and just threw DPF code. Condition overall apart from DPF is fair.

I’m on the fence about swapping the DPF and doing the water pump, timing belt etc, then driving it into the ground. I’d do the work myself but unsure whether dropping $1600 in parts plus a weekend is worth it versus sell as is. I’m considering selling fixed or as is and moving into EV. I know this hurts me since I love the vehicle but I have large amount of solar and would offset $300 fuel a month.

Question is more related to is it worth the effort to fix then sell or sell as is for what I get $. Live near SD in CA.

2013 with 321k miles and a 6 speed. Just need to delete , (looking for a delete tune that won’t break the bank) and it should be good to go

I have Audi Q3 2.0 TDI, what should be the service interval or when should i do the oil replacement? I did oil replacement when the car was around 35K KM driven and now the car has reached 44K KM and the oil I used was Castrol edge VW 507 5W30.

Hello,

I just finished designing and making some winter front/intercooler block off plates for the Mk7 Golf’s. Price is 75$ plus shipping and can add cut outs or bumper plugs for frost heater cords.

As title says.. looking for something like this https://www.vwpartsandservice.ca/p/Volkswagen_2010_SportWagen-TDI-Wagon-20L-TDI-DIESEL-AT/MuddyBuddy---Trunk-Liner---Black/69551380/3cn061161.html

That will fit a 2010 wagon. Preferably in Canada. My searches are not bearing fruit. I have 2 very furry dogs now.

Thanks

Hello, I have a 2014 Sportwagen. Is the PS electric, or is there a reservoir that I’m just blind and can’t find? Thank you in advance.

Repainted my car while also doing some light collision work, I had to change the air box which means the MAF sensor was taken off and then put back on briefly after. Now I have a few codes but its running perfectly and no engine light on dash. Interestingly the freeze frames are showing 0RPM and 0km/h which is incorrect. The car was running and moving every time i have done a scan.

Does anyone have any idea? Car was running perfectly before this.

My wife and I own a 2015 golf TDI with a 6 manual. This will be our second winter with it. What I have noticed is I cannot seem to get the car to operating temp when outside temps are below 40F, 4.4C. It runs around 140F (60C) with the motor at 2.6k rmp and around 130F running how we normally drive.

I’ve recently installed a PolarFIS on my 2014 Jetta sportwagen, and when trying to adjust the parameters and comfort settings, the hands free menu keeps interfering, bringing up pairing and connecting screeens. I’ve looked through the owners manual for the PF04 and I can’t find anything regarding getting rid of the hands free settings or hiding them, as I don’t need them. Has anyone here had my issue and if so, know a solution? Not quite sure if it affects anything, but I do have an aftermarket radio installed. I can revert back to stock if necessary.

2013 Passat with the 2.0 Tdi, hot side turbine is super wiggly, ordered a new core, has anyone ever taken the turbo on these cars apart themselves before? looking for some helpful tips and tricks if there are any

This is my first reddit post, but I can’t seem to find any answers online and want to know what to tell the mechanic.

On my way to work this morning, my 2013 Passat TDI had a message come up, “Adblue empty. 200 miles before engine start not possible” with the flashing orange def bottle logo above my speedometer. With it, my check engine light turned on. As I got closer to work, the DEF warning disappeared from all of my screens, but the check engine light is still there. Will the warning reappear in 50 mile increments, or is there something else causing the check engine light?

Car is under engine and powertrain warranty, so DPF would not be covered. If this was caused by some other sensor fluke then I don’t even want them to get the idea of adding that expensive repair, but I do want the check engine light resolved.

see above:) Need help w shedding dogs of GF.

Hi all, built an off-road Jetta and got rid of the EGR/DPF on it. Quick question… what happens if I don’t block off the low pressure port? There was an EGR pipe going from the EGR cooler to the downpipe after the DPF and that pipe is now removed. If I didn’t install a blocker plate, would the turbo suck unfiltered air in through this open hole?

Just parked my ahu Jetta for the winter(warms up too slowly for my tastes 😁), and was considering doing some maintenance in the down time.

My car sometimes has a tick at idle 250k miles, and I believe that it has some cam wear.

That being said, I was thinking to just throw a stock cam and followers into it this winter, along with a new timing belt while I'm there.

My issue is that i don't think my camgear/sprocket has been changed ever. I also can't seem to find one for sale from a reasonable source.

Looking for advice on where you would get the camgear. Would you just say screw it and send it with the old one?
Looks like idparts has a cam kit for cheap. Any recommendations on brands for parts, or guides to follow that might be useful on my journey would be appreciated 😁

2014 Jetta Sportwagen TDI with Darkside downpipe, Malone 0.5 tune, H&R sport springs, 127k miles. Needs a new DSG (water intusion) so insurance totalled it, but a guy at my local auto shop is interested in buying it. I'm not familiar with the process for getting a rebuilt title here in FL, but I'm assuming that hassle brings down the price in addition to the fact that he needs to replace the trans, but he can do the work himself. Any ballpark on what I should ask?

Note: I'll probably sell with stock wheels and keep the ones pictured for my replacement car. Also thinking about keeping the car for myself if I don't find another good one on the market or if I can't get much from selling it.

2003 Jetta 1.9 ALH TDI - Low Boost Issue. The car won’t build more than 6-9 psi of boost, feels very underpowered. Revs are smooth with no lag, but power feels weak. The turbo is brand new, the MAF sensor is good, there are no visible vacuum leaks, and the turbo actuator is functional and properly adjusted. Any help is appreciated!

I'm about to do a dpf delete on my Jetta and my entire exhaust is in pretty bad shape so I wanted to replace all of it at once would this borla kit for a GLI also work on my Jetta with a dpf delete?

Long time Dub fan. Started with a ‘73 Type II. Turned a destined-for-the-junkyard ‘72 Type I into a Baja bug. I joined the diesel dub world 60K miles ago with a 6-speed ‘13 JSW Tdi. My dad bought a ‘12 JSW (automatic) a year prior to me and I had to have one as well. We just did the deletes and a stage 1. He bought a kit from Diesel Tec with a Powergate tuner. His light came on and it was $4k or the deletes. TDIs appear to be destined for deletion or junkyards. I just hit 90k miles and I know my time is coming. I would love to go all out, but I don’t have the funds to support it. What is the highest tune I can get without having to swap out for a beefier clutch? And can I get some suggestions for which kit to get?

Have a 2013 vw Jetta tdi. Everytime I take off it seems like it wants to stall but never does. From a complete stop. Shift just fine in manual mode.

Noticed there was something leaking on my driveway. Looked under the hood and there’s fluid right in the outlined spot. A bit of it..enough that it dripped onto my driveway. It’s right under the fuel filter area..I tried going under the car and getting some on a tissue..it’s just black, can’t tell what it is by smell. Anyone?
