Can everyone that has had this failure please report it to the NHTSA https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#vehicle The Dealers are idiots and ripping most of us off when we try to get them to replace it under diesel gate warranty. Hopefully if enough of us report it to NHTSA, maybe VWoA...

as far as heater, I am very conscientious about keeping the heater off, except for when I need it, which isn't too often here in the PNW. Okay, 6+years of in service, almost 9 years since production. Any recommended aftermarket glass? I see a bunch on Amazon for under $20. But some of the...

I thought the Clock Spring issue was an extended warranty TSB?

I am so irritated 🤬 no warnings at all, like looseness, vibrating....Just driving down the freeway and I heard something bouncing off the side of my car, I look in the rearview mirror to see mirror bits glistening in the sun and pelting the cars behind me. I check my side mirror and nothing...

I am starting to have the symptoms of this. Longer cranking times in the morning, then after 5 minutes of driving in town, I get a single buck/hesitation. Then all seems to be good for the rest of the day. This has occurred about 1/2 dozen times now. One day I also had an idle that was not...

I like tinkering, have a 38 Mile round-trip commute, get 47-55 mpgs and don't get to tinker on my '15 6mt...what am I doing wrong?

I was gone for a week and we had sub freezing temps. I checked battery voltage before the first start after the long none running period. Voltage was down to 11.3. I cranked the engine over and it barely spun fast enough to start. I installed a different H6 battery I had laying around...

I'll move to load test, that SOC menu option seems useless to me. Always shows 100% unless I am doing something wrong. I checked SOC this am, that's a 15 hr rest @ 32 degrees - battery voltage 12.21: SOC 100%. Full charge should be 12.6-12.8v I do believe. I might throw a trickle charge on...

I haven't scanned yet, it worked a couple of days in a row. But this morning the fan was back to not wanting to go past 3 on the dial. And, when I hit the rear defrost, I got the flashing defrost light on the button...Isn't that related to load sensing shutting it down? I bought this May 2017...

hmm, that could make sense. This summer I was noticing that I would turn off the A/C and it would continue to blow cold regardless...

What's rcv? I'll scan VAG com when I get home and see if anything shows up.

Now that Temps are getting cooler, frost on my window, etc, I've been using my defrost fan more on high. The last few weeks, on first start, my fan won't come on at all. Maybe after 5 minutes of driving it starts blasting and all is good. But it's becoming very random and seems to have a mind of...

great price @ ID Parts! If i need a big order from them I will order a few! However at this point with shipping taking 10 days across the country and the shipping costs going up, I have been more inclined to shop locally.

FYI - I just bought oil (Pentosin Super performance III 507.00) and was looking on line for a Hengst filter 03N115562B. I wanted Hengst because I have read they are more stout and don't collapse like some of the other filters. (I haven't had an issue, but many are having issues with collapsed...
