I’m finally getting close to 200,000. I’m at 181,000. Sadly, turbo and transmission have been replaced and since then, I’ve done an EGR/DPF delete. Close to 10,000 dollars in repair since owning it in 2015.

Hey all, I have my 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI (181,000 miles) that has always ran great. It does currently have a stage 2 tune with EGR&DPF delete but wasn’t intended for performance but more for practicality(and having had enough of emissions equipment breaking and sending codes). Lately...

Wouldn’t really say I’m new to it. I’ve owned it since 2015 and been through hell and back to keep it on the road. Doesn’t get all that cold here either which is why I wondered a bit about it. I understand the procedure and what the purpose is for glow plugs. Had the VW up in KY in 20 degree...

For just a peace of mind, I use a product called “Fluid Film” underneath and around my car. It’s just an added layer of protection that will keep surface rust at bay. I usually try and go for every 50,000 miles, remove mud flaps and wheel wells and spray down parts that are prone to get rust...

Looked around a bit for an answer before bothering the forums. So, cold start has been giving my some issues. Turn key, engine rolls and rolls but no start. Release key, turn again and car starts up like it was nothing. Once engine starts, I get a nice cloud of white smoke that smells pretty...

I have a project in mind but need a lot more information on how a MK6 VW Sportwagen is built in the front. If anyone has any diagrams, or even photos of their Golfs or Sportwagens from below or front with the bumper removed, much would be appreciated. Through a lot of searching, I found this...

Hey, hoping someone could help me out. By the looks of it, this thing is probably at around 60 pounds. It seems to be connected by some sort of contraption within the fog light housing? Is there a beam within that or do you think the guy welded a bit on something like the radiator support? And...

Curious if everything went alright.

Try not to slime it. That **** can really throw off your balance depending on how much. Plus, it's just sweeping the problem under the rug. For sure listen to everyone with the soapy water. Hell, even put your ear up against it. You'll be able to pick up a slight hissing noise if you're...

It could've been the inlet pipe to your intercooler. I had to replace the clamp because it wasn't holding on strong enough. But again, it could've been numerous hoses and clamps. It sounds like it was something very minor especially if you had to just wiggle around some hoses. I would go in and...

I'm sure this one is an annoying re-occurrence but can MK6 GTI lowering springs and even coilovers fit a MK6 Jetta Sportwagen. I've found MK6 H&R Coilovers on marketplace and looks to be a steal. I checked the serial numbers and the rear shocks even seem to be for Sportwagen. I research a lot...
