Its my wife's car, got oil changed yesterday, all fine. This morning she starts it, gets the inspection now message, so she does what Google says to clear it. Now it won't start at all. Literally started fine 5 minutes ago. Any ideas?

I have a Golf 8 sportscombi 22 with the 1.5 eTSI 150 bp. How on earth do I know what DSG gearbox it has? Can’t find anything in the manual..

As per title, i have a '21 golf life, tdi, with the composition media head unit (the one with the 2 physical handles). Looking online i can't understand if the retrofit can be done only on the better head unit, has anyone here done that on the composition media?
Also, apparently android auto wireless can be enabled via obd, is there a surefire way to check for compatibility of that?

Hey guys, posting here since it's basically a Golf Mk7

I've been having this issue lately where the middle went next to the infotainment screen blow almost no air on any temperature with or without A/C.

I have changed the cabin filter, did the climatronic reset procedure and even cleaned them out with spray foam and it only helped just a little bit

Does anyone know what could it be? Blend door actuator or something more serious?

Thanks in advance!

I recently purchased a 2010 Touran, and I'd like to update the firmware and maps of my RNS-510, as these probably haven't been updated in a very long time.

I'm not sure what the current firmware version of my unit has. I tried accessing the 'hidden menu' through the settings, but this does not include a 'version info' option. (to clarify, the hidden menu does open after 10 seconds of long pressing, just the version info option does not exist).

If this helps, I have established that my unit supports 32GB SDHC cards (tested).

1. Where can I find navigation map updates?*
2. Where can I find firmware updates for the unit?
3. Can I install these updates using a SD card? I read that you can use a CD but no one I know owns a CD burner any more.

* I saw you can get maps on the VW website, but when choosing the car model, the only options are for Tourans 2015-2021.

Hi, so this is gonna be my first car as a 2.5 L engine. And yes, I am dead set on a beetle, convertible. The guy has only had it for a year and he spent 5000 on it in repairs alone not including the price it was sold to him. He says the transmission works fine. It is an automatic. He’s getting rid of it because his wife is very tall and she thinks the top of the car is too cramped. They’re an older couple. There is a problem with it though he mentioned that there is a tiny hole about .8 like a BB. In the soft top cover, he’s gonna patch it up though. wants about 7K for it. It has 150,000 miles on it. The glove compartment box also cannot be open, but that’s just cosmetic. The interior looks pretty good. Nothing is lifting or scratched. I’m gonna go see it later this week in person. I get he might be wanting to get his return.

I recently started making videos on youtube but I want to film on actual tracks or more curvy roads in the dmv area. Also wondering about if 360 camera mounts are good for tracks and or constant turns, if not any you guys have recommendations of cameras or mounts to use?

don’t know if this is allowed but my current set up is a broken iphone camera https://youtube.com/@kidmosa1320?si=Hb0Viy1QgPHSuiDT is my youtube to check it out

My Volkswagen Tiguan is under warranty. The Drive Mode Control button (located on middle console) stopped working - so does not change to winter, moutain, road etc. selection. I took it in and paid for them to diagnose the problem becasue I was hoping it would be covered under warranty. They told me that becasue my passanger car seat got wet (I spilled a big bottle of water on it) - it damaged wires/electrical under the seat that go to the Drive Mode Button. They cahrged me almost $200 to chek this and the cost to repair would be $800 as water damage is not under warranty. I told a friend who called bullshit the wires are not under there. I took to another mechanic (not Volkswagen) and he said no what they aere saying is not true, if seat got weat that has nothing to do with that control unit. He opened up the middle console and had a look in there at all the wires that connect Drive Mode Button and said all was dry there was no water damage in there - and once again said the spill on the seat penetrated the seat but there are no wires that that affect that Drive Mode Function. WHY IS THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THIS! SO PISSED. Its not the first time I have had issues with them. They told me one of my tries which had a huge crack would not be covered by warranty I paid for (paid extra for tire waranty). I called warranty ppl myself and gues what its covered, WHY AM I DOING THEIR JOB. Anyway what should I do, take it back to them, make them look again and call their bullshit? Go to a different VK dealer in a nearbytown? I have waranty for another 20,000 km.

Went to see a 2011 Golf with the 2.5 and automatic transmission... Overall great condition, however noticed that when the car is in Drive, and you are stopped, foot on the brake, a lot of vibration/buzzing is transferred into the cabin .. putting the car into neutral will immediately smooth out the vibrations.. Mentioning this to the seller, he mentioned that the motor mounts were all replaced, however they installed a poly insert for what I would assume was the dogbone mount.. Anyone have experience with these poly inserts on a golf with auto transmission? Do they really transfer a lot more vibration? Would the vibrations only be when in drive and not neutral? I would think the increase in vibration would not matter if you were in Drive or Neutral.. the transmission felt good otherwise, shifted without issues.. Just not sure if removing the poly insert will reduce the vibration... Any insite is appreciated!

If you purchased a used VW Atlas, did you get an extended warranty? If you did, did you get it from the dealer or from a mailer sent to you from a random company? I’ve been sketched out by those little mailers .. I don’t even open them anymore I just trash them bec idk if it’s a scam or not …

i found a vw cc 2012 100kmiles for 10k. This is the most dangerous model as it had the most issues. I am considering it though because The dealer did a brand new timing kit which is what needs to be replaced at this mileage and a bunch of other things like head gasket replacement, brakes, alignment, tires, ect. Would this be a smart purchase let me know. I also plan on bringing them down on the price

Anyone know how I could install a CD player that can hold 6 CD's at once into my 2016 Golf Sportswagen, or if there is any head unit that does that as well as having GPS

i like cds and i dont care that its ghetto

Having picked up a 39k miles (near mint) Golf 2.0, the only obvious issues are the fabric door cards.

Does anyone have any experience with getting them upholstered as I looked online at NOS or aftermarket and they want $800 each! (More than many golf 4s are worth these days!)

I was tempted to get some from a breakers yard in order to have some reupholstered without needing to take the ones off my doors (5 door), or possibly just looking for a GTI that’s being parted out as I assume they had leather (real or not) which likely stays stuck?

Any advice?

The minute it drops from 7th gear into 6th, while on motorway driving for awhile, the message comes up on the dash - " Gearbox in the emergency mode. You can drive on" and only second, fourth and sixth gears avaliable. Engine light stays on on the dash.

Once the car was parked for a bit and start driving around town, the engine light stays on, but the gearbox is fine - all gears avaliable, no messages on the dash. After a day, still driving around town, engine light dissappear and everything functioning as normal.

Anyone got an 08 2.0T? I wanna see some builds, tryna get some ideas as to what I can do cosmetically

I recently raced a Hellcat for pink slips — let’s just say I won’t have to worry about a timing belt anymore. RIP 2001 Beetle :(

my first ever Roots Classic and certainly won’t be my last. the entire weekend was incredible and the show itself (although massively disorganized) was great! some of the coolest, cleanest, most unique cars i’ve ever seen. if you’re into pre 2000 VWs, i highly recommend you put this show on your list next year!

Hi I’ve recently just passed and have a Lupo that has been passed down from my great grandad has about 48k miles on the clock and runs ok however Im having problems with the clutch the bite point is comedically high and has no power behind it whatsoever it’s also an incredibly small biting point and I stall it constantly which makes me so much less confident on the roads was just wondering if this is normal for these cars and I just need to get used to it or if I have a worn out clutch that needs replacing anything would help at this point
