Working ventilated seats in a retrofitted GLI seat. 2020 Jetta SEL.

Took a lot of testing and 3 fried arduinos. But now we have functioning seat ventilation on a car that did not have it optioned originally. Now just need to clean up the wiring….

Help with diagnosis

2013 Jetta 2.0L Some context it’s -24°C, I’m driving my car and all of a sudden the red (!) brake light comes on. I did not notice anything was different about the car, was about 2 min away from home so I carefully drove there. Turned the car off and back on and then the ABS and airbag light goes on with it. Not sure what is wrong with it. When I scan for codes, only the P0106 code pops up for the MAP sensor. Will be getting that replaced (most likely) since cleaning it didn’t work. Battery is good and charged it even more to be sure. Air intake filter is clean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Replacement Part

Does anyone happen to know if I can purchase this piece online, or should I just contact the VW dealership? Would need exactly as pictured. Located in Canada.

Also, does anyone have experience replacing this piece on your own? Seems like it wouldn’t be too difficult but I haven’t looked at it too closely.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 Noise

First time poster needing new tires in the next 10K miles or so. I’ve heard good things about the traction of the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in wet and/or snowy conditions, but wondering how much louder they are on dry pavement. I love the fuel efficiency of my 2019 Jetta S, but don’t want more interior noise on long trips. I live in Chicago, so the snow season isn’t too long, but visiting family in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, would make a decent snow tire a good idea.

Spray paint grill white?

I’ve been watching vids of people sanding down their grill and spray painting on a few coats, would it look bad if I did white paint?

[Update] Possible coolant leak

Hey!

This is an update regarding my post I made earlier today.

Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/jetta/s/mjZSDz38nX

So I was backing up out of my parking spot today and there was some fluid that had leaked from somewhere. But I felt it and it felt and smelled like water. It wasn’t pink like the coolant at all. I wasn’t sure if this means anything else or helps identify a problem. Thank you to all that have helped me so far!

I attached an image of the liquid

rear camera

Hello. I have my Jetta without a rear camera and I would like to install it. I don't know if the screen will be compatible or I would have to change it as well. How can I know that? And if not, can you recommend a screen and camera kit??? Thank you

Beginner performance mods for my automatic 2015 Jetta SE

The title basically sums it up. I have an automatic 2015 VW Jetta. I don’t want to race or anything in it, obviously, but I really love the car and would like some tips on some beginner/cheap performance upgrades I can make to it to make the car a little cooler and more fun to drive. Thanks!

2017 Jetta SE (1.4L turbo) need some help. EPS light, cam sensors being funky

Hey there y'all, I've been doing some work on my girlfriend's car recently, as it's been throwing a combination of issues that I haven't been able to get to the bottom of. Looking for any help or advice, and willing to buy ya a coffee for your time!

A couple weeks ago, it threw a "Stop engine, low/no oil pressure" notice and went in limp mode. So I tested the fuel pressure and it was up to par, ended up replacing the oil pressure sensor while it was out.

It also threw a CAM sensor (bank 1) code so I replaced that as well.

Additionally, the EPS light would show up and engine would stutter a bit, notably on sharp turns and coming to a stop. I removed the throttle body and tested for resistance, got no change when opening the butterfly, so I put a new throttle body in, and changed out the spark plugs and ignition coils while I had everything out.

So, so far it has: -New ignition coils -New spark plugs -New throttle body -New cam sensor & oil pressure sensor

After buttoning it back up, it drove fine for about 10 miles. Now, all of a sudden it randomly runs rough, almost feels like the timing is off for a second and then goes back to normal, RPMs seem a bit funky, and it feels like it's making the transmission shift hard. Now it's throwing codes again for both cam sensors.

It seems to me there might be some kind of electrical fault or potentially a timing issue, maybe I should check the exhaust timing? Really just looking for any suggestions as I wanna avoid firing the parts cannon or taking it to a dealership. I usually work on volvos and this Jetta is driving me nuts!!!!! Thank you!!

2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen Won't start - "Key Not In Range" - Not a push to start

Just as the title says, I have a 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI and I went to start it last night and I put my key in the ignition, turned it, it started, then immediately turned off and the dash said "key not in range" I'm completely stumped because my key was literally in the ignition

Any thoughts or ideas?

70+ mph slight steering shake - Control Arms?

I've dug into this quite a bit, and it seems that a few things come up when searching the scours of the internet on what the cause could be.

What is happening: When on the interstate going 70mph+ my steering wheel gets a very light shake in it. It's largely not perceivable, but I can feel it. Going straight it's there, but when I'm on a curve it goes away.

I've always chocked it up to tire being out of balance, but considering I'm on collectively my 3rd set of tires since the car was new, I don't believe that's the case.

The general collective has led me to believe it is something in the rotating mass specifically in the front end that is not the wheels/tires. (Considering those have been balanced/changed many times of the years.)

  • Wheel Bearings
  • Rotors/Brakes.
  • Axles.

The next line of thinking, which I found fairly intriguing was a post I stumbled upon where someone replaced their lower control arms and the problem went away. The specific direction was to get not just traditional replacement front lower a-arms, but ones with the solid RS3 bushings installed from Black Forest Industries. https://blackforestindustries.com/products/mk6-jetta-new-beetle-control-arms-solid-rubber-bushings

Has anyone else gone down this path and replace control arms to address vibration at highway speeds?

SOS light module error code

Hey everyone I’m hearing this is a common issue … I’d be going on my 5 or 6th new sos module. I have a 2020 vw Jetta manual r line … any advice is there something else vw should do instead of replacing the same part over and over again? Can I just turn the system off? There’s always a few codes that the dealer can find.

EPC light and blinking/solid check engine light with serious thudding

Yesterday I had my first misfire on my 2015 2.0 S while I was accelerating in second gear, my epc light came on and my check engine light began to blink and I could feel my car start to shake and struggle. I stopped driving and today replaced my spark plugs and my ignition coil but my check engine light is still on and it still constantly trembles even if I’m not idle. I drove it to an auto zone down the street and the code reader said it was cylinder 4 misfiring and to change the spark plugs and ignition coil even though I had done that 30 minutes prior. I also just stepped outside and noticed a humming coming from under the hood of my passenger side, any advice to solving this one?

Radio upgrade

Does anyone with a 16-18 facelift have one of the vw eonon radios that they say aren’t compatible? I’ve heard you can just get the 52 pin harness on amazon to make it work but idk. May have to option for rcd330 if not. Just like the look and options of the eonon

Love my 23 S manual

Get so much for your money, even standard stuff I didn’t have on my 13 sonic ltz. Wanted a manual in a budget car and so far super impressed. Just a solidly nice car.

2025 Jetta SE

My Mazda3 Sedan might be getting bought back under lemon law. I like the design, features and value that the 2025 Jetta SE has. Is there anything I should know about the Jetta? I’m very meticulous about maintenance so that’s no issue for me. Thanks for the input!
