  1. Jetta/GLI VI
    This is my first time shopping for a VW so I’m not too familiar with them. Anything in particular I should look out for with the Mk6.5? I heard the timing chain and tensioner go bad but this one has already been replaced. This example has a clean carfax and a decent service history. 81k miles...

    Hey fellas, Bit of in a pickle here. My mechatronics are fried at 172k and it is impossible to find a used mechatronics unit around my area ( or whole country ). Now, i’ve got a friend who’s got a part out GTI and it’s got the same part number for the mech unit as my R. Would it be possible...
  3. 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI DSG

    I’m not sure what’s been replaced or fixed but it drives great for 200K miles, hoping it stays that way. Biggest issues right now are that the battery is getting weak and the wiper motor is slow, but I’ve got a new motor and the battery does still start. Cosmetically it could use some work; the...

  9. Capital Area Cars
    Fantastic daily driver 2013 Jetta SportWagen with 112,000 miles on the clock. Car has the automatic DSG and panoramic moonroof. Engine pulls hard, a/c blows cold, minor dings and scrapes. I paid 15,500 for it and I know won’t get that, so I’m hoping for $10,000. Either way, car has to go, so...

  12. The Volkswagen Lounge
    Hello. My 2019 Alltrack developed a very irritating and sometimes dangerous problem last summer. When accelerating from a full stop it hesitates, sometimes longer than others. Sometimes I can actually count to 4 or more before the car decides to move. I hit the accelerator, the engine is revving...
  13. Golf/GTI VII
    Hi, Recently I’ve been having a few issues with my GTI. Firstly, I’ve realised my MPG has dropped drastically, before it used to be around 33 and now it’s around the 22 area which is a huge drop. I’ve read a few posts and majority people are saying it might be to do with spark plugs but I’m not...

    Ok my flywheel is going bad on the 2006. Jetta tdi I bought yesterday.107k miles. It’s Scraping noise in park. So I know I need the flywheel. Should I do the clutches while I’m in there? Can I just do new clutch plates or should I get the whole clutch pack with basket. Also I’m assuming the...

  18. DSG and S-tronic Transmission Forum
    Got a 2009 GTI. Replaced the DSG filter housing with a new VW OEM one (including the new o-ring) and tightened to 15 ft/lb. Still leaking. It's not the oil cooler/exchanger. Any suggestions? 15 ft/lbs enough?
  19. Golf/GTI VII
    Can I mix these two DSG fluids? Reason being I already have 1L of the Motul fluid and I'm going to need at least 5.5L in total. I just don't want to purchase 5 more individual bottles of Motul for money saving reasons...
  20. Golf/GTI VII
    I’ve recently got my exhaust done on my mk7.5 GTI - sports cat down pipe and a back box delete. I’ve also changed the size of my resonator to a 5” high flow one so the exhaust is pretty much straight through. The cars quite loud however the only thing that’s bugging me is that when I change...
