Good day gentlemen, A good friend of mine has some codes popping up on his 2015 Passat TDI regarding the coolant pump. Autoscan below. Has anybody run into this one before? Can anybody confirm where this pump is located? By the looks of the 3 codes it almost looks like it has come...

Hi Folks, I haven't been on here in ages. My old 2006 Jetta was working so well my VCDS cable was collecting dust in the garage. I just bought a low mileage (17k) 2013 Golf TDI. It's one of the "fixed" ones that VW has flooded the local market with recently. I was trying to brush the cobwebs...

Hi Folks, I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd reach out to the experts on here to see if anybody has run into this problem before. I figure if there's a bad spot in this model where a wire chafes through, then mine shouldn't be an isolated incident. My 2006 A5 Jetta has dead 12v...

Hi Folks, Is there anybody here with intimate knowledge of the Mk4 rear wiper circuit? I'm having an issue with mine that seems strange, and I can't quite figure it out. I think the only thing left that I have not done is bench test the rear wiper motor (Which is a brand new aftermarket...

I assume this code means that there is an issue with this circuit in the instrument cluster? I don't see it in the Rosstech Wiki code section, and I can't find much info on the code otherwise. The car is working fine, and the glow plug light appears to be working fine. However, when I tried to...

Hi Folks, I am shopping around for a European instrument cluster for my 2003 Golf (CDN Model). Can I do everything with my VCDS that is required for this retrofit? Edit: I know there are wiring and plug changes required, etc...right now I'm just curious about the coding, etc.

Hi Folks, I am not sure if this is anything I need to worry about or not, but I just got a call from the VW Autobody shop. (My car is currently in having some panels replaced under the VW corrosion warranty). Apparently while welding one of the new quarter panels on, a "wire penetrated another...

Hi Folks, I'm just doing a little research this morning and thought one of you fine folks might have some knowledge on the topic of exporting/shipping a car from Europe (Germany) to North America. Do any of you know what costs are involved (ballpark)? I'm in an east coast port city, so that is...

Hi Folks, My 2000 New Beetle (TDI, 5spd) needed a new hatch, so I replaced it with a hatch w/spoiler from a 2000 1.8t New Beetle. Now, I didn't specifically seek a 1.8t hatch...it was just close by, and it was clean and cheap. It's now installed and painted. I'm curious about making the factory...

Hi Folks, I'm looking for the VW part # of the bolt that attaches the turbo bracket to the block on the later ALH TDI cars. This would be the bolt used on the later cars where the bracket is mounted slightly above the oil return line port in the block. I've looked at any online VW parts fiche...

Hi Folks, I had a look at a friend's Audi wagon today. He has a fault code for one of the rear park assist sensors. Is this likely to be a faulty sensor, or more likely a wiring or connection issue? I guess the question should be, is it worth it to pull the rear bumper off and troubleshoot...

Hi Folks, Sorry if this is a dumb question... The mileage, as indicated by a VCDS autoscan is simply the mileage that is saved in the instrument cluster, correct? The car's actual mileage or the mileage as saved in the instrument cluster is not written or saved elsewhere in the car's system...

After losing our dog to cancer earlier this summer, we have been heartbroken with the feeling of an empty house with no piles of dog hair, so we started searching for a new companion. We contacted the breeder where our last dog came from, and he made us an offer we couldn't refuse, so we packed...

Hey Guys, I'm scrounging around looking for a project for this coming winter, and I found a car that I'm going to see this week. It's a '98 Beetle TDI 5spd. It was advertised as having a "bad lifter". (Apparently diagnosed by a local VW shop). The owner told me this: "I took the car home...

Came across this old girl in the local classifieds, with as many kms on it as I do every couple weeks...lol: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/city-of-halifax/2003-volkswagen-golf-hatchback/1091264546?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true If only it was a 5spd ALH car...not sure I could spend...

Hi Folks, I was checking some stuff with VCDS on my 03 Golf TDI today, and noticed something odd. Car at operating temp, with EGR open (duty cycle @ 61.4%), my MAF specified is 275, and actual is also 275. (Varies between 270-280, but generally very close). After 2 minutes, the EGR valve snaps...

Hi Folks, Like usual, I'm screwin' things up... I removed my instrument cluster to clean the lens and in the general area, and everything was fine...I disconnected the battery while doing so, and made sure both plugs snapped back in place when I reinstalled the instrument cluster. Problem is...

Hi Folks, I'm thinking about removing the A/C system from my 2003 Golf TDI. I can get an accessory bracket from a Mk4 TDI that didn't have A/C, and I can get the power steering lines from a Non-A/C TDI, but I'm curious about any issues there may be electrically, or with my climate control...

Hi Folks, I am getting repeated P0442 DTC on my 2009 Mk4 City Golf. Please see below: Mode 03: Emission related fault codes Address 7E8: 1 Fault Found: P0442 - EVAP Emission Control Sys: Small Leak Thursday,30,April,2015,17:17:33:24871 VCDS -- Windows Based VAG/VAS Emulator VCDS Version...

Hi Folks, This little indicator light is randomly showing up on my 2009 VW City Golf. See picture below. I believe these cars were only sold in Canada?...And maybe Brazil?...Not sure. Anyway, it's basically a Mk4 Golf with 2.0L 5spd. The car came from Quebec, so the owner's manual is in French...
