I have a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg and I lost my original key fob and had a key cut but the car started before I got my clutch bled out but now my car won’t start. Clutch is bled everything is good it’s the key. What the hell do I need to do. It’s a headache and a half and I just want to drive it already
Hello,
I have a Volkswagen Jetta 2007, and the interior back seat dome lights won't turn on. I even replaced the bulbs and it still didn't come on.
I checked all the fuses on the panel located next to the steering wheel on the drivers side and none are blown.
What else could the issue be?
Thanks for any help or guidance!
Hi all, I bought a 2024 Volkswagen Jetta about 13 months ago. It was smooth sailing for a few months but then there's been an array of mostly trivial but aggravating issues that have led to multiple trips to the dealer. Long story short, I bought a new car because I didn't want to spend time in the dealership. So I applied for a buyback. The issues included
Etc etc. I wanted to hear specific offers that you all have received in your experiences, if you're willing to share. I've read some offers elsewhere that were quite generous but were associated with more severe reliability issues. I'm hoping for a good offer so l don't take a money bath on the car and can get into a GLI or WRX instead.

Picked up a dashcam that plugs into the cigarette socket. Unfortunately I forgot ours doesn’t work so apart from fixing it, is there an adapter to let me power it via the USB-A while also still letting me plug in my phone for CarPlay/charging?
Any splitter for a USB-A port doesn’t seem to support data when used in a car so it’s useless for CarPlay.
Any suggestions or is it Bluetooth only for my phone if I want to use the dashcam?
It seems my Jetta has sprung a coolant leak all of a sudden that is dripping on the driver side of the car. Since the water pump is on the opposite end I’m not sure that’s the culprit but obviously can’t rule it out. Is it worth it to replace hoses or use a leak plug?
So I got my Jetta 2013 1.4 TFSI And I got the check brake wear light yesterday but no CEL And today while I was on the freeway doing around 100kph I got the CEL?
So are these 2 related or not? And what are the common issues which plagued this car
Thank you.
Hello, I'm having an issue troubleshooting my car. 2016 Jetta S 1.4 Turbo, 191,000+ miles on it.
I have an issue where my EPC light comes on, and check engine light with the code P2263 (Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost System Performance). I thought maybe my throttle body or the throttle body sensor was bad because initially, I just had the EPC light. I swapped in a new one because they are cheap and really easy to replace, but that didn't fix it. I know a common issue the wastegate actuator arm failing, but I checked and mine is not broken.
Symptoms are EPC light comes at stop lights or when parking the car and leaving it on, and then I get no boost and a huge drop in power. Turning the car off and back on usually resets the light and the boost comes back. Other symptoms are what feels like mild loss of power and jolty shifts between lower gears.
Is it possible that the Wastegate is bad even though the actuator arm isn't broken? I don't think it's a sensor issue either. These are the last "cheap" fixes I can do myself. Or maybe something else I haven't considered?
Or is my turbo toast?
Hi all!
Does anyone have a good recommendation for parts for O2 sensor replacement?
I seriously don't want to fork over cash to a VW dealership to replace if I can cut costs and buy the parts first to take to a shop.
Hello, I have a 2016 1.4 jetta. I bought a rear view mirror backup camera system and I need a bit of help getting it all set. The camera portion I understand, but I have a red and black wire to power the mirror and I have no earthly idea where to connect those? I was thinking of tapping into the radio wiring harness but what colors are for power and ground? I’ve run it across the headliner and down the left A pillar so I think I can get it in there behind the radio but if there’s an easier or better way I don’t know it.
Hi All, I have a 21 Jetta SE, purchased last March. A.few weeks after I bought it, the purge valve needed to be replaced. I have a drivetrain warranty, so this was covered. Now I just needed to have it replaced again- it was stuck open. The part was OEM and under warranty so the shop replaced it for free. I'm just wondering if there's a known issue with these valves, or if there's anything I can do to help prevent the premature wear? I've been turning off auto start/stop because I feel like that's not helping, but I don't have a logical reason why that would contribute. Please let me know your thoughts!
I have an 08 jetta and I had this issue start last year. Whenever I start my car the radio would be muted for a few minutes and then work fine. Started to think it was from the cold westher cause when summer came the issue stopped. Not that it is cooling down again the problem is back. Seems worse this time. Takes about 15-20 minutes of driving for volume to come back. Tried holding down the power button but my radio doesn't seem to have a hard reset on it from holding the power down. I'm assuming there's a bad connection to the speakers when it gets cold for some reason but I have no clue how I'd go about diagnosing this. Any ideas? Everything is stock as well
Edit: sound* in the title not sounded lol
Hello, I own a 2015 Jetta 1.8t auto, and I was wondering if It would be worth it to change my transmission fluid. There’s nothing on the carfax maintenance wise that says that it has been changed, so I would assume it hasn’t. I got the car with 108k miles on the dash, and since then I’ve gotten it to 122k. The shifts are perfect and very snappy, so I haven’t been really worried about it. I know it says it’s a lifetime trans oil, but I just don’t trust that at all. I’ve also heard though that changing the trans oil late can cause more harm than good, so I’ve been trying to weigh my options. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
I have a 2014 Jetta S with the 2.0 (N/A model) with an intermittent misfire issue. It was taken to a shop for having a constant misfire and had the ignition coil replaced as well as the rest of the plugs and wires. Ever since then there has always been a slight misfire every now and then. I’ve replaced all plugs and wires again. Replaced MAP sensor, pcv breather hose, and timing belt and the misfire is still present. Compression is 175-180 across all cylinders. Only code being shown is a misfire on a couple cylinders. There is also noticeable arcing across some of the spark plug wires, but it still arcs even with new ones. Not sure where to go next.
I'm a dumbass and beat up my rocker well pretty bad today. Do you guys have any suggestions for side skirts that'll hide the damage? 2016 Jetta 1.4T
I pumped the brakes to try and move seized piston but now the piston is all of the way out spinning and not retracting. Any advice?
Hi, i was wondering how fast is this car really?? if anyone here has actually owned this car and how impressed were your with the speed of the car, google says it’s got about an 7 0-60 and it makes 170
Had this car for like 5 years and today when it was about 32 degrees Fahrenheit it sounded kinda rough.
No exhaust mods and this was after the car had ran for like 10 minutes. Sound fine?
I am thinking of buying one that is in California I am from arizona and I tried it it drove good and comfortable just seems to need front shocks and the timing belt with the water pump needs to be changed how much would labor and part cost in California or az like an estimate
