Admittedly, I have a wonderful dealer that has stood behind the car. All the work was done with no out-of pocket to me (the first tank issue under warranty) all others after 36K. . . However, given each has failed each winter, I am not willing to take a "wait and see" approach. Plus, I am sure...

Well, I took a look at the claims info site. Assuming the settlement is ultimately approved by the court, I think I will be saying goodbye to the Passat. Currently I have 121,115 miles on the car purchased 10/28/13. At the time of trade in I would estimate that to be about 132,200 give or...

Nord, It is a good name! :cool: Thanks again. This was exactly the problem. It took me about 15 minutes to get it seated properly and the gate is working great. I do appreciate the help and just wanted to follow and and say thank you! Cheers, Aaron

Thanks Nord, I appreciate the help. Considering I am now running on my third heater core, and this one was just installed about 6 weeks ago, that makes sense. I've owned this car since October of 2013, I am at ~104,000 miles and on my third heater core. . . I hope the third time is a charm! I...

Hello all, I ran a search on this because I swore I saw something out here about 6 months ago regarding the HVAC system not switching between heat and cold. I have an 2014 TDI SE, so it has manual controls. Now that the weather has started to warm (the impending spring snowmageddon forecast...

Nord, Thank goodness your son walked away!

sdeck, Same issue. I had mine replaced last year about this same time. The replacement has now clogged and the dealership is waiting on back-ordered parts to get the new one installed. Which up here sucks, as it was -9 F this morning, so a nice chill ride to work (thank God for heated seats...

Good thinking! I just cross posted over on the OBD section. Thanks, Aaron

Here's the definition for DEF level sensors as defined by SAE: "REAG_LVL shall indicate nominal reagent tank liquid fill capacity as a percent of maximum. For systems that have discreet level sensing, e.g. Full (100%, Low (20%) and Empty (0%), REAG_LVL shall indicate the actual level at each...

First, I don't have a DSG and I do my maintenance myself, therefore would recommend DIY as your best and cheapest option (assuming you have the tools). However, I have a few friends who do have the DSG, and prefer our dealer do the work. If you don't mind about an hour drive, depending on...

Its suspended from the rear deck lid, but only in the Fender System equipped trim levels.

Right! Posted in hopes someone may be able to help me break the code to calc consumption. It would be interesting, in light of the recent emissions issue, to know consumption before (as-is) and after a fix is determined (assuming it would increase DEF application)... Working with James at...

DEF Fill Indicator via SGII I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but I thought this may be best place to post. Several months ago I programmed my SGII to look at DEF fill level and have just been watching it since then. The tank only has three sensors, and each is a discrete point. The...

Count me in... I am amazed at how well our Mods stay connected, and y'all know they're keeping their eyes on other threads as well. Hats off to our mods for putting up with this rabble.
