First time VW owner, we bought a 2016 VW CC 2.0 TSI 24k miles 2 weeks ago loving it so far. Well... other than the cost of buying a second remote, wow!

Hello. I just purchased used Tiguan. After I left my garage I saw oils on the floor. Oil comes from front passenger side about 4 inches from right front tire. Oil color is dark brown/light brown. I have appointments with service in few days but I am trying to learn VW system too I just wish to...

Hey guys So a couple of days ago my car went into limp mode after driving around. The gears on the dashboard started flashing and it was stuck in 3rd gear. I wasn't even able to reverse the car. Eventually it shuts off and the only way for it to start again is to let it cool down. I can drive...

Hi guys. I had a battery die on my 2006 Jetta few weeks ago, it turned out to be bad so I got a new one. Ever since the car doesn't beep when I turn it off and leave lights on and/or leave the key in the ignition and try to leave the car. Any ideas how to solve this? I am afraid of being in a...

Just acquired my MIL's 73 super beetle and the convertible mechanism needs to be refurbished. They just put on a new top not that long ago so I'm wondering if the top fabric/liner can be removed and reused without damaging it so that I can refurb the mecahnism

1974 Super Beetle. Engine recently overhauled. New plugs, New Carb, New points, New condenser, New fuel pump. Engine will start, but not remain running. Will not idle. Backfires. Had black, oily residue in Carb throat. As afterthought, checked oil level. At least 1/2 quart low, was full...

Hi everyone, puchased a 2014 TDI SEL Premium with 59K on the clock 2 weeks ago, looking forward to contributing as i can

I just bought a 2019 Tiguan SE 3 weeks ago. An hour ago, when I was driving home with cruise control at 60 mph, I just found an EPC warning light was ON. I did not feel any abnormality on driving. Because I didn't know even what EPC standed for, I googled it after coming back home. I found it...

I have owned a 1981 Caddy diesel for a number of years. I recently, 5000 miles ago, rebuilt and installed a 1.6 turbo diesel engine and 5 speed from a 1983 Jetta. I works absolutely great! I believe it has the original radiator. What would be a better radiator to replace it with. It is not...

Just curious about clutch life all of you are getting. I just replaced my original mk2 clutch two days ago as the pushrod finally pushed through the clutch plate. This is 100km shy of 400,000 km. I guess that now I have replaced the clutch I shod get at least 300,000 more on the car. Well if...

So I bought a 2008 6spd Gti a week ago. I knew that it had no boost and I assumed the worst case scenario so I took the turbo off and it turned out the turbo was fine. I noticed before I took the turbo off that the Blow off valve was jbwelded shut and the diverted valve was closed off too. Never...

My 2009 has only 90k miles and runs great. Lately all the dash gear lights highlight randomly - happened on the way to work this morning (last time it occurred after driving for an hour on the highway), but nothing else happens. Car runs fine and I can not detect anything (no surges, rpm stays...

hmm . . . I posted this a couple of days ago, but it seems to have vanished. I am looking for the metal trim that is embedded in the rubber that goes around the passenger door window of a 1985 two-door golf. No luck with ECS Tuning or Orchid Euro. Does anybody have any brilliant ideas?

I have 2012 vw tiguan and yesterday i drove it and it seemed like it was losing power but i figured that was just from the turbo being out so... i parked and then when i went to go turn it on it cranked and the motor was shaking so i stopped turned it off and checked the oil i was low "bone dry"...

Just picked up a 2013 MK6 GLI two weeks ago with 59K miles. 60,500 now, and CEL comes on. P0746, pressure solenoid A. Only once the DSG gets up to temp does it go into limp mode, which keeps it in 2nd gear and displays the spanner/wrench icon flashing intermittently with the "D" select...

Just picked up a few days ago and found the gauge function. Does the difference in temps seem to be a little far apart? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I start my Passat first time in the day it takes anywhere from 1-3 miles before I even get cool air out of the AC. After it is fine and blows cold. It started doing this about 4 or 5 months ago. I went to another dealer and started the same type car and had cold air immediately. Has anyone...

Hi, my 2012 Tiguan (37k on clock) showed a coolant warning light last week. Only had a full service 4 weeks ago. Garage can’t find obvious external leak, so did pressure test. Nothing showed up. Changed DSG oil, in case it was there, (and this recommended at 40k anyway) but no coolant found in...
