Recently fixed a coolant leak and this symbol has come up, what does it mean?

Purchased a new 2024 tiguan comfortline R line not even a week ago, car was just delivered from the factory. Unfortunately noticed the start/stop was not engaging at all the dash would say start/stop not avail due to engine requirements. I tried everything that may of prevented all needs being met but nothing. So i took it to the dealer where they discovered a fault with the system unsure what it is waiting to hear back from VW canada. Has anyone else dealth with this ?

• i understand not everyone is a fan of this feature but worried this problem may mean an issue for something else.

Miss my old vr6 ! This picture was taken in 2011

Wondering if anyone has any experience with getting their VW dealer to swap wheels between vehicles on the lot. I’m looking at buying a Taos and hoping the dealership will swap wheels between other Taos models they possess. I’m hoping to have the 19” black alloy rather than the 18” stock and wheels on it, would it be as simple for the dealership as swapping the wheels or are the wheels on each vehicle somehow tied to them from the factory?

Thanks for your help!

Can someone please tell me what this pink thing is? I have a 2018 Tiguan

What oil does everyone run, when I got My beatle I had to do an old change on it. And I ended up running 5W30 full synthetic in it for a bottle of STP and just a tiny bit of Lucas. My mechanics said with my engine with that with how many miles is on it? I have 280000 on my beetle on the 2 l. I could run 10w30. Is that gonna hurt the motor or should? I just continue to run 5w30 cause. I'm not paying $30 for a jug of 5w40 Volkswagen old when this d*** thing is left happy with 530 in it. What do you suggest

I bought my Jetta GLI 2023 in August 2023, someone hit me in October and I thought it was all going to be fine because they were 100% at fault and their insurance would cover everything. Unfortunately that is not the case, because nobody can get ahold of a new bumper. So I'm driving around a fucked up brand new car for who knows how long. Does anyone know if there's anything I can do about this situation?

Just bought a Jetta and would love to toss my bike on it, any information would be great.

Hi, I have bought a 2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T recently 3 weeks ago. Last week, when I was on the highway, the car made an odd sound with a lot of shakiness and Vibration. I pulled over and towed it to the mechanic. He said that the engine has blown up, and needs a new engine which would easily cost $3K to $8K.

I towed the car again to the Volkswagen dealer, and he told the same. But, they wants to offer me a trade with another Volkswagen or Mazda vehicle. I'm an international student, currently on F1 status and I don't have SSN, since I'm not employed here. Is it better to get a personal loan or Auto-repair loan from my bank?

It's not even a month since I owned this car, and I think if I'd like to sell it to the dealership, they will offer me not more than $700. I bought it for $4000.

I made such a huge mistake buying this car. Can someone show me a way for this situation?

This will be my first VW if I get it. Ive always wanted one and this beautiful beast popped up near me.

Getting the EPC light and the mechanic was telling me that this is the reason , can someone tell me what part goes here?

Shopping around for a second car, came across this little beauty.

It's a 2.0, and a 6-speed Manual which is what I am looking for. Low Mileage for the year at 118k but other than that I am completely in the dark when it comes to this year of GLI are they reliable? I have looked into the carfax for it and it seems like it was decently cared for over its' years, one thing stood out to me in 2017 it was involved in an accident with "Minor" damage reported but they called it structural damage.

The vehicle is about a little over an hour away so it isn't a "close" visit to make to inspect myself, from all the pictures I don't see any warnings involved in the rear but from any experts here what should I pay attention to in this model and year, and the damage reported from the carfax?

Should i pass or go? What are the things i should check?

Listing says

2009 VW BUG 2.0 auto. ONLY 40k original miles! One owner, excellent condition, runs and drives perfect. Fully loaded, leather, sunroof, heated seats. We have 4 Beetles in stock right now to choose from!

Have had my Atlas 2018 in the dealership for service twice in 2 weeks. First the starter ($1000) and now the steering column ($1400). How can this vehicle be so unreliable? Def getting a Toyota next time and can’t wait to get rid of this garbage.

That's it. That's the post. I hate deer.

Hi all. New to this group. I have a Polo GTI 6C 2016. Ive had a reoccurring issue with my car in relation to a check engine light and EPC issue. The engine light is very intermittent same as the EPC but my car will just die. EPC will come on and I’ll lose all power. No limp mode nothing. The parts which were changed are as follows:

Map Sensor Spark Plugs Fuel Filter Engine Breather Valve

After these repairs it ran quality for around 5 days and the same thing has started occurring again alongside the car not liking gears. It’ll shift perfectly fine into gear, no clunking or anything but the power will just delay for a solid second.

It is going in for a compression test next week to hopefully find out what is going on. Was just wondering if anybody had a similar issue in the past.

Any advise appreciated :)

2013 Beetle Turbo (mk6), 120k miles. Had the car idling for about 10 minutes, then when I turned it off I noticed a humming sound coming from the passenger side rear wheel area.

It continued for a really long time, like 2 minutes. Googling seems to imply it’s the EVAP system pump.

Is this normal behavior, or a sign of a problem (eg, EVAP pump about to fail)?

Additional info: the engine was cold when I started it. I was running it to power the cigarette lighter outlet, where I’d plugged in a tire inflator pump to add 3 psi to all 4 tires. Garage temperature was 44 F.

I’m looking at a 2009 Jetta SE with the 2.5L that has 64k miles. Seller wants $8,000. Exterior and interior in good condition.

Line of pixels appeared. Any known fix?

Hello, I have a 2010 Scirocco with a twin charged 1.4 TSI and DCC and I'm thinking of upgrading. For me it's quite fun to drive around but I wonder how would it compare to a GTI, more specifically Golf 7 GTI, is the Scirocco softer and floatier, is it the other way around or are they quite similar. Obviously the GTI will be a much faster and newer car.

Hi all, I just got smacked with a pretty expensive service for my 2017 Golf, and when I picked it up, the advised me that:

• There is oil leaking from the oil separator and sealant is on back order, cost to repair $515 AUD
• There is coolant leaking from the waterpump and recommend replacing, cost to repair $1022 AUD

I’m intending on getting these repairs done but wondering if there are any knowledgeable humans on here that can let me know 1. How urgent/vital these repairs are, and 2. if I’m being ripped off? I know nothing about cars, but this seems ridiculously expensive. Thank you!

I have a 2012 Passat SE 2.5 and when turning it started making noises and I checked and noticed it was low on power steering fluid. I haven't been able to find anything about what kind of power steering fluid to use and I'm scared of fucking it up by putting regular power steering fluid off the shelf in there. Any advice is welcome, thanks

Could somebody recommend a twin exit (gti-style) exhaust for my Golf Mk7 1.4 tsi. Thanks

I had the steering recall done for the second time … and it’s about time to replace the factory tires. The quote at the dealership includes $900+- in calibrations:

• 360 Camera $320 • Radar $350 • Front camera $320 • Lane Assist $320 • 4-wheel Alignment $198 • balance & mount $125

When I double checked to see if they were serious it was explained that it’s because of the “computers” and that the car would just be a “sea of warning lights” if I didn’t recalibrate everything.

I’m not thinking the buy 3 tires get one free promo is worth the stealership experience.

My 2024 Taos is finally ready after 7 weeks in the service shop, having it's ECU replaced. I'll pick it up tomorrow. Has anyone known of VW adding the amount of time the car was being serviced onto the warranty coverage?
