The MIL comes and goes. Could stay on 50 miles, maybe more. Seems more a warm start issue than a hot start. If I drive 50 miles, then restart, I'm usually good. If I drive 5 miles, stop for 5 minutes, there's a better than even chance I will have this issue, which is the workshop error along...

2011 JSW 6MT 200K miles. Bought it with 55K 3.5 years ago. Has been an awesome car. steady 45-46 mpg. Did a TB/WP at 120K, got a new intake from VW around 125 when it developed the issue with the throttle sensor. Last 10-15K miles I get a CEL that comes and goes and also, on a warm start, I...

This happened last winter. Been living without the radio or using a portable BT speaker. Haven't driven the car a whole lot, but getting tired of not having it, so time to fix/repair. I was driving the car at night, pouring rain/snow mix. Radio was on, playing something through phone via BT...

This thread is about hybrids, which are EVs.

Wasting money? We already have stockpiles of fuel for latest generation nuke reactors in the form of "nuke waste". Building these plants kills two birds with one stone. Nuke power is the safest form of power we've ever made. And they produce power WHEN it is needed. As for its cost, a good bit...

Would be happy with a direct replacement, but it seems these things have a habit of dying. Should I just spend a little more and go aftermarket? Wouldn't mind adding a backup camera, actually. Maybe I'll stop backing into things!

Been a while since I checked in on this thread. Has there been any further discussion of a hybrid diesel? Seems to me that VW has gone all in on the EV bandwagon. Still want to know where we are going to get all the raw materials for the trillions of lithium cells we are talking about? Or the...

Mine died. Would like something that I can plug in and use all wheel buttons. Aftermarket is fine, preferred actually as it seems these things dying is normal.

Anyone out there have one they'd part with at a reasonable price? Mine is muti-cd. Would like one with a CD, but no need for multi disk as I rarely listen to them. Would consider diskless as well.

Yesterday afternoon while driving on the interstate for a few hours my radio appeared to lose power with no warning. One minute I am listening to a youtube podcast on phone through bluetooth, the next moment, nothing. No lights at all on radio. Did some research on internet. I checked the 15A...

AZ- Auto Zone

Any recommendations of local mechanics. I brought it to 413 Auto shortly after buying it just to do an oil change and give it a once over. He seemed pretty adamant about keeping it all stock, even after the warranty runs out. I see People's Auto in Somers listed also. Only about 15 minutes away...

Is MIL just another name for CEL? I am unfamiliar with the acronym.

Looks like I made a redundant thread. The other one already has a reply, so can a mod please flush this one or tell me how I can? I see how to edit, but not delete.

Read codes at AZ this morning. It cleared the CEL. 154K miles, '11 JSW 6MT Should I expect it to come back? Any advice appreciated. I did get a new intake from VW under warranty at about 120K last fall. Pretty sure I'm out of warranty, so I am open to mods, mainly for mpg, reliability...

Near the end of about a 550 mile day I got a CEL maybe about 10 miles after filling up the tank. Took it to AZ this morning and pulled the codes. P2002. Scanning it reset the CEL. Haven't driven a lot, maybe 25 miles since with no recurrence. It is an '11 JSW 6MT. 154K miles. VW replaced the...

I have an '11 Sportwagen 6MT. 154K miles. Got a CEL last night. Had the codes read at AZ this morning. P2002. Plugging in the scanner cleared the CEL. Hasn't come back yet, but it's only been driven maybe 25 miles. I was under the impression that I am off warranty, but after reading this...

SS, hi. Looks like the Kerma non-delete may be the way to go. Are you doing it soon? If you do, would like to see how it does. Maybe a little Kerma v stock drag race!!!

Haven't had any dpf issues yet, but I do make it a regular habit to see 4K during onramp 3rd gear pulls or other long uphill stretches. Haven't pulled a trailer yet, although I do have a hitch to put on and a utility trailer. So I will be doing some trailer pulls for just the reason I see...

Just got a new intake courtesy of VW warranty (P2015 code). I plan to do the dieselgeek fix to avoid future P2015 issues. I am also considering a tune/possible delete as I think I am about out of warranty. Everytime I try to read the warranty definition, I just get a headache! Can someone...
