Is this a good buy? I want to get into Volkswagens but don’t really know too much about them at this current moment. I’ve head mixed opinions about the 2.0t and wanted to hear your guys thoughts if this is a good VW to start out with.
Trying to trade my leased Tiguan and the dealer is telling me only VW can end the lease? Does that sound right? I already have the buyout amount so wouldn't the other dealer buy it out on the trade? Probably a stupid question but it's confusing.
Hi all
I recently bought a secondhand VW Taigo Life and wonder if it is possible to add iQ Drive after the fact?
Ho una Volkswagen Passat del 2012 2.0 TDI 140 CV che da un po' di tempo il cruscotto si accende come un albero di Natale. Mi hanno cambiato la batteria senza nessun risultato. Il concessionario ufficiale VW mi ha resettato e ricaricato il software della centralina, ha funzionato per un po' e poi di nuovo stessi problemi. La mattina quando si accende è come un'albero di Natale ma la sera o a mezzogiorno se la vado ad accendere non mi crea problemi. Quindi forse c'è anche un problema di temperatura ambiente che influisce sul problema.
Durante la marcia, le lancette giri e velocità, rimangono a ZERO.
La lancetta della benzina se ne va su e giù, senza pace.
A momenti mi viene segnalato, problemi olio motore, poi sparisce...
Gli indicatori di direzione non funzionano!
Aggiungo che una mattina l'ho dovuta farla portare col carro attrezzi in officina, in quanto non voleva accendersi.
Se non fosse per questo ultimo punto, la cosa potrebbe essere anche divertente, ma l'idea di rimanere di nuovo a "piedi" non mi piace molto.
Per ora mi hanno sostituito la batteria c.a. 170 € Aggiornato il cruscotto 450 €.
Ora i propongono la sostituzione del intero cruscotto.
Io leggendo i forum ho qualche piccolo dubbio. C'è qualcuno che mi da un suggerimento? Grazie
MK4 Jetta GLI 171,XXX miles…
Been chasing these two codes for months now. My inspection/emissions was due end of January, and my shop “thought” they had it fixed - Put a shield around the rear O2 sensor which kept the light off for a few days. Bam! Back on again. Replaced hoses, exhaust parts, connections, O2 sensors good and are now working through evap system… The Cat appears good but at this point, probably have to replace even though we did several years ago….
Ugh… I’d leave the light on but needs to be off to pass my states emissions!
We are having the following issues with our Atlas:
The passenger side windows open on their own and the driver side switch no longer activates them.
The interior door lighting now works intermittently.
The passenger side mirror heater is also no longer working.
Has anyone else had these issues?
Thanks
I hear a metal clunking noise everytime I turn my wheel, anyone have any clue what it is?
Hey everyone,
I need some help diagnosing an issue with my 2012 VW Touareg. While driving, my car suddenly misfired on cylinders 1, 2, and 3, then shut off and wouldn’t start again. I had it towed to a garage, and when the mechanic tried to start it, it started but with misfiring and vibrations.
What’s Been Checked So Far:
Coils & Spark Plugs – Showing current, but not replaced yet. Injectors – Cleaned and tested; working fine. Fuel Pump – Fuel is flowing properly. Fuses – All checked and good.
Even after verifying the above, the misfire is still there.
Cylinders 1, 2, and 3 misfire consistently.
Car vibrates badly when running.
I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on what else to check before diving into expensive repairs. Has anyone experienced something similar? Thanks in advance!
Just replacing golf mk7 driver side mirror and the new replacement mirror has 3 cables behind the mirror backplate compared to my old with 2. The new cable is a red, brown and green winded together? Any ideas?
Was investigating the fuse box yesterday to prepare to hook up a dash cam. Didn't actually touch anything but the wing mirrors aren't folding or adjusting now. Anyone know what fuse controls that? I can't find it in the manual.
I have a 2019 vw caddy maxi. Shop tried to charge me $70 EACH tp change air and cabin filter. Done the cabin easy as but WHERE IS THE AIR FILTER. I don't se either anywhere and all online tutorials look different then mine... NO info in the car manual.
This dash doesn’t turn off even after I turn off the engine and lock the car. Is that normal? I feel like it should turn off immediately afterwards.
After doing another test drive I noticed the turbo doesn't sound quite right and seems to be lacking power so I scanned it with VCDS and found this after giving it a hard run.

Cleared the codes and this happened for a second time. EPC light came on along with very rough idle. I turned the car off and back on and the EPC light turned off and it seemed to idle normal. This is also the second time I seen this same code pop up.

I'm going to replace the coil packs and spark plugs as I'm pretty sure they are still original with 126K miles along with checking the connector going to the throttle body for corrosion or bad wires. My gut feeling is I'm going to need a ne throttle body and diverter valve but not 100% sure. I could use some help with this one.
I drive a Passat B8 2015 , and I’ve noticed that when I go over a speed bump, the front wheels absorb it really well, but when the rear wheels pass, it feels much harsher, and my whole body moves up and down a lot more. What could be causing this?
Btw i have new front and rear shocks (Sachs) with new shock mounts both front and rear. In the front i have front control arm bushing replaced,inner tie rod,outer tie rod,subframe mount,engine mount,transmission mount.
In the rear besides the shocks and shock mounts i have not changed anything,could it be because of that? Or this is all normal and how it should and i am only overthinking it idk
