Hey guys, lately I’ve been having a slight vibration at idle that goes away when the car is in neutral or park, which I wouldn’t consider violent by any means. I was wondering if this is normal for a dsg (2015 golf tdi auto) or if it could be the flywheel and or clutch. I have never owned a Volkswagen before and I bought the car used so I don’t know what “normal” is per se. It has about 160k miles on it if that helps at all. Any assistance is appreciated!

So quick story short my 2013 sportwagen with 105,000 miles has run fine with no issues but I was driving the other day (heavy snowy,sub zero temps) at highway speeds when the glow plug light switched on blinking and was followed by a check engine light. Immediately noticed a decrease in acceleration but was still able to hold 50 until I got to a good place to stop (not the brightest to not slow down but what're you going to do) I stopped and popped the hood, nothing noticeable, no smells, smoke etc., no weird noises, knocking,etc.) Turned it off and on again after a few minutes glow plug light was gone check engine light still there. Got driving again and was back to normal no lag, or anything funny. I'm lost I know the code is pretty ambiguous and don't know where to start.

Anything helps!

Basicaly I know I have put minimal info here, but I have bought some 16” rims that run 205/55 R16 Tyres, for my 01 VW golf, are they legal in the uk??? The guy I bought them from kept emphasising that they were legal didn’t question it at the time however , but it’s been ticking over in my head and questioning if they are in fact legal or not. I am a care worker, not really INTO cars but I really don’t like the rims my car came with and just wanted something different. I can’t find a lot of info online, some guidance would be appreciated 🫶🏻🌟✨

Unfortunately got a flat two days ago and when I went to get the spare out, it had about an inch or so of water standing in it. Any idea where it’s getting in at? Common problem?

What could be leaking here? 14 Passat ckra. Bottom right corner is the oil drain tube for reference

Hi guys, can anyone tell me the parameters of the turbine capsule of the 1.6 tdi 77kw CAYC GIVES ME AN ERROR CODE p023400 and I think I've checked everything, the car goes into recovery and from turbo overpressure the geometry works well, so I think it's the capsule not calibrated well as I recently changed it and I don't know if I set the correct parameters

Lately it's been feeling like this vehicle is not reliable for my needs. I drive at least 70 miles a day and it's mostly highway. I'm not savvy enough to work on this vehicle. I'll change filters, pressure sensor, brakes, etc, but when it comes to the engine I'm not educated or confident enough. I've got about 122k miles on it and it's been paid off for 4 years. The thought of a car payment pains me but I just feel worried about the future with it. Hoping someone can talk me into keeping it around or give me some insight on where to go from here. I'm currently sitting with the check engine light on and it looks to be another pressure sensor ($221).

Mk7 Golf GTD with 80k. Had clutch and dual mass flywheel replaced a few months ago and have since noticed some very intermittent faults that I never noticed previoualy

1. Clutch makes a clunking sound when pressed - this doesn't happen often at all, but seems to be worse when the car has been sitting for a few days or the weather is particularly cold

2. Auto hold sticking for a split second after releasing the clutch and giving it some revs. Causes the car to jerk - read elsewhere it could be the "clutch pedal position sensor", may just need WD40!? Again, doesn't happen regularly

3. The parking sensor randomly engages whilst I'm driving along, it seems to happen when pressing/depressing the clutch. It just goes mad with beeping for a second or two then stops and doesn't happen again for days

Been back to the garage once to mention the clunking and they didn't really want to know, said they don't think it would be related to the work they carried out. Before returning again, I just wanna know if it's at all likely that these issues are related to the clutch replacement?

Thanks

I changed mine out about 3 years ago and it looks like it's due for a change again. Curious how common that is? Price went from $60 something to $221.

When I plugged the car in these are the codes I got: P026A, P0111

2014 VW Passat TDI SEL Premium

What is this called? (sorry new to parts and stuff)

Does anybody need one? 46k original miles.

My car a 2015 golf tdi seems to be reading the outside temperature higher than it is between 5-10 degrees out on the high side is this a big issue and how can I resolve it looked at YouTube to try reset it but I don't have the control panel to be able to do that?

Hi all, I have a ‘16 Touareg and I have discovered after much digging and TSing that the oil cooler is leaking oil, so replacement time. 2 questions — are there any recommendations to add to the repair while I’m in there? Second-any recommendations on “upgrades” or anything like that? I do have a slight heating isssue while towing uphill, the Exhaust gases get so hot and heat up the engine while towing uphill from time to time, never overheated but does get hot. So not sure if an upgraded cooler and or EGR cooler would help that piece or if there are any? Thanks in advance

2011 tdi batter drain over night not sure why any ida where to start ?

Does anyone that lives in Washington State know of a shop that knows what they're doing with 2.0 tdis the shop I've been taking my car to doesn't seem to be able to diagnose my shaking problem which happens under acceleration I took my car on a 2000 mile trip and it became someone worse and I'm not exactly sure what it is it has the original one injectors and fuel pump and original flywheel

Recently came to the conclusion that the dealer i bought my 13 jetta from might have lied about changing the timing belt. So seeing as it's at 150k miles, I need to get it done soon. I'm a little intimidated by the job. Had always planned on taking it to a shop to do it. But I don't have the money for thag right now. And the only shop I'd trust to touch the car won't give me a quote on the job without doing diagnostics on the vehicle first. Which would cost me $120 in itself. So don't want to deal with that. I don't have many tools. Just the basics basically. I did do my delete by myself and then a few months later, replaced my turbo. So, how is a timing belt change in comparison to those jobs i was wondering?

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my girlfriend’s TDI, she has a 2010 Golf TDI. The engine only goes up to about 51°C. It’s pretty consistent around 51°C, only going up and down in decimal values (looking at the scanner live data). Here’s the thing, we already replaced the temp sensor and the thermostat, and now it’s driving me insane (especially after spending a whole weekend elbow deep in engine changing the thermostat). What else can cause the engine to overcool? Could something be stopping the sensor from getting a true reading? Outdoor temperature is about -12°C today and this is our first winter with a diesel, issue has been there since we got the car in December.

I have a 2006 Jetta Tdi, 1.9L engine, manual. Where can I find the starter relay? What does it look like?

Thx, Mike

Anyone in the Oregon area have an ALH block available?

I have a 2011 VW sportwagon tdi

I’m wanting to do a full delete from the turbo back, I know that requires me to do a tune.

I’m not super knowledgeable when it comes to cars/modding them, but I have the base knowledge.

I have a buddy who works on German cars and I told him I want more power and whatnot and he said I should get a bigger turbo and fuel injectors as well.

What are some sites I should go to, forums I can read or just information I should know beforehand.

As far as the delete kit, what do the different parts of it do. Because I can choose to add a resonator, or high flow cat. If I just do straight pipe would I have drone or is that something you have to worry about on other cars.

I know they used to sell full kits with tuning software & everything, but EPA has really cracked down. Anyway, the only full kit I can find that’s reasonable is from Stephenson Tuning. Thoughts on this kit? Apparently the tune is done from your mobile phone. I’m open to Rawtek or similar, but I’m just not sure of the best way to get a tune this way. Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, CJAA Jetta 2012 6MT.

12 Jetta came in with the injector seal plates leaking, owner said the injectors had been by whomever did the diet and turbo swap for them. Copper washers were leaking on all four but this one fought me and the slide hammer pretty valiantly.

Lights on the dash are all accounted for and have been on for a little over a year. Headlights are led with no ballast or resistors, engine light for egr insufficient flow and a exhaust butterfly valve I unplugged. Tpms sensors aren't in any of my tires and the windshield washer reservoir has a leak so I dont fill it 😐 lmao

Edit for pic.

Hi, I have a 2015 VW Passat 2.0 TDI and the battery won’t charge causing my car to stop out of nowhere.

Recently, I have changed the alternator (tested and working) and a new battery (also working).

—But still, my car still dies after driving..

Can anybody help me out? Anything would be much appreciated! Thank you
