You are Correct! The Passat uses different rear LCA bushing mounts than the Golf. That would have been something important to mention in this thread...LOL I just ordered the Audi mounts noted above and reposted here. Audi S3 bushing...

As much as I hate to admit it, the advice about selling your TDi in favor of a Honda, Toyota or Nissan is spot on. I fortunately (or unfortunately) have the tools and ability to do must of my own maintenance and repairs, and for my BMWs and Jetta's, this is a necessity. For my wife, we buy...

yep - time to get out the laptop and start pulling some codes. I am clumsy at best with the Ross-Tech software, but will give it a shot and report back what I find.

One of the first things I did was to put fresh batteries in the key FOBs. Problem persiste with both FOBs.

Update - I have also noticed that I see a "Keyless Defective" msg in the MFI for a few seconds after before starting the car. Then the message extinguishes after a second or two once started. Has anyone else seen this?

As the subject line says - the thumb sensor to lock, and the "fingers-in-the-handle" to unlock has stopped working for both front doors. The key fob buttons still work as they should. Has anyone had this happen? Any ideas what the problem is or how to fix? Thanks, Mike

The LCA brackets on the Meyle set that I installed had the heavy duty (s3 style) bushing inserts. The holes just don't line up with the JSW mounting points...

Tuheeden - I reviewed a few more timing belt replacement videos. I agree, this is something than I can do myself without hesitation. And this way, I can install the CP3 pump my way, making sure it is installed properly (and the money I save on the timing belt, will pay for the CP3 pump and kit)

Yep, I enlarged the holes using a 1/2" drill bit. Still a tight fit, but it does work. I removed and saved the VW LCA brackets from the original arms. I may at a future time, replace the bushing in the VW LCA brackets with solid rubber, and install. Quite the surprise that the holes on...

Older thread - hoping someone still monitors. I recently ordered the Meyle equivalent of the VW 3C0407151E Lower Control Arm (Aluminum L/R same) to install on my 2014 VW Jetta Sportwagen Tdi based on the parts listing in this thread. When trying to align the three holes on the rear mounting...

Very good - I did forget about the in tank pump, thanks. I'll bring these instructions when I go talk with the shop. Thanks for your help.

I am contemplating the CP3 pump upgrade was I approach the timing belt interval (90K mi - 100K mi). Noticed that the auxiliary electric fuel pump is also deleted as part of the CP3 installation. Questions: 1. when doing a fuel filter replacement, how are folks priming / filling the filter...

there is an article on this site somewhere that outlines how to clean the electrical contacts on these starter buttons. And the procedure works. I have cleaned mine once or twice now.

I have these on my 2014 JSW Tdi. They work well.

Thanks for the reply. I wrote to 034 Motorsport, they replied that their bracket should fit. I will ask them more specifically about the mounting bosses for the fuel filter and see what they say... Did you order the stock mounts from FCP Euro? And the bosses are indeed required to mount the...

I wrote to 034 Motorsport, these are their recommendations: Motor Mount Pair, Street Density, MkV/MkVI Volkswagen Golf/Jetta & 8P Audi A3 2.0 TDI https://www.034motorsport.com/motor-mount-pair-street-density-mkv-mkvi-volkswagen-golf-jetta-8p-audi-a3-2-0-tdi.html Dogbone Mount Pair, Density...

It may be time to replace the engine mounts and transmission mount. I would like to install something more rigid. Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket systems - ie left & right motor mounts plus the transmission mount. Not looking for racing mounts - too much shake. Prefer a...

Did this engine mount issue ever get any traction? I have a 2014 JSW TDI and would like to replace all of the engine mounts with something sturdier. Mike

Interesting thread. I just had my windows and pano roof tinted a few weeks ago. The installer said he tints sunroofs all the time on these cars - no issues. My sunshade had finally failed, the material hanging down from the sides. So I carefully retracted it back into the roller, and pulled...

So what did you end up doing? For what it is worth. I did the stage Malone stage 2 tune, with the Buzzken DPF & Cat Delete, and also while I was working on the car, removed the EGR Valve and the EGR Cooler. I went with Buzzken over Rawteck because it was a tad cheaper, but still a perfct...
