@EuroX They kept insisting that they need to drain the tank. I asked if they could show me the recall letter and point where it states I have to drop the car with certain fuel level. They didn't take that well. The service advisor got very annoyed and told me to go find a different dealership...

@Dr Sheldon Good point. I will try to clear the DTC and take it for a test drive. @EuroX The warning light seems to work. Do you have any suggestions?

Update: I tried if the passenger detection and the "passenger airbag disabled" light both work and they do. When I start the car with no passengers inside, the "passenger airbag disabled" light will glow orange. When someone sits on the seat, the orange light will disappear. So the seat sensor...

An update in case anyone else ran into the same issue. The dealership really just made up the rule that they won't honor the recall service if the car's tank is above 1/4. I assume they just don't want to pay for fuel in case they need to drain the tank. I called another dealer and they had no...

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, the airbag light is on in our 2017 Jetta. The reported code: 9442836 - Front Passenger's Airbag Disabled Indicator Lamp B1016 14 [10001000] - Open or Short to Ground MIL ON - Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear...

Hi @Uwe Good point. The dealer was claiming the instructions to bring the car with less than 1/4 tank was part od the recall letter. Unfortunately, I can't locate the letter. However, the recall code is: 24Gi The recall TSB is here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCRIT-20V648-7026.pdf...

Short question: Can I drain my tank to 1/4 full without consequences? Full question: Today, I drove my car to the dealer since it was selected for the fuel rail recall. The fuel rail bolts on my 2017 Jetta have to be replaced. The dealer refused to perform the service, since my tank was above...

Hi there! My wife told me the radio in her 2017 Jetta started having issues. These are the symptoms: The radio seems hot. It would shut down at times. It can become unresponsive. I checked the radio for fault codes and it is reporting the following: Address 5F: Information Electr. (J794)...

I got them from AutoZone. I bought 4 ignition coils. I destroyed one by accident :)and replaced the 3 remaining coils. Two out of the three coils seem to be fine. The one coil at cylinder #1 started having issues. The suspicious thing is that the last set of coils had also issues at the cylinder #1.

Hi Team! First off, thank you all for your input! Update: The car had an issue with misfires on cylinder #1. I moved the ignition coil from the cylinder #1 to the cylinder #2 and the misfire immediately jumped to the cylinder #2. The coil is now replaced and the car has no issues! My question...

Hi Uwe! Thanks for fixing the post title. I did the fuel pressure test and came up with the following conclusion: The fuel pressure at idle was 12.6 MPa. About 20 minutes after turning off the engine, the fuel pressure maxed at 16.4 MPa. From the top of my head these numbers don't look good to...

Background: About two months ago, I was here and you guys helped me! :thumbs: I had a misfire on Cylinder #1. I replaced the ignition coil and the misfire went away! :cool: Unfortunately, the misfire on Cylinder #1 is back :( We've driven about 3000km on the new ignition coil and had no...

Wow! You were right! I've swapped coils 1 & 3 and the misfire immediately moved to #3, Thank you EuroX! You guys here are legends! I've replaced the faulty coil with a new one and I can immediately feel the difference. The engine feels so much more calm, no shaking. FYI, there is a spring...

Hi! Thanks for your input so far! I was driving the car today and it started shaking for a few seconds. Sure enough, it triggered another misfire DTC code. Finally, I am including a report with appropriate freeze frame. Again, I appreciate your input on this...

No, I didn't. Hmm. I didn't do any modifications to my ECU. Is that a known bug you are talking about?

Oh, good catch! The above is the latest auto-scan log for my car. The reason why we can't see MIL nor the DTC codes is that I have reset the codes before running the scan. I have attempted some of the listed repairs. Then I reset the codes and road tested the car to see if a code will come...

Car: 2017 VW Jetta Mileage: 105k km (65k miles) Engine: 1.4 TSI / Engine family EA211 / Engine variant CZTA The car started having random misfires on all cylinders (about 2-5 misfires per cylinder every 5 minutes). I noticed these items when using VCDS. I am not sure if they are relevant...

I just wanted to record my experience so others save themselves the money and time to go to a VW dealer to bail them out. I followed a famous YouTube tutorial on how to add a new key fob to VW Jetta MK6 using VCDS. It was a year 2014, thus same generation as mine. The first step says: Connect...
