I asked the service advisor about the 40K service cost when I took the car in for 36K service and he told me the new DSG service cycle is at 50K based on a service bulletin issued by VWoA. For some reason I had a hard time accepting that, so I called customer care and was told to follow the...

Good suggestion. I sent them an email, we'll see what they say. Thanks,

I’m wondering if someone on this forum has access to the official VW documents that might shed some light on the service intervals for the DSG box. A service advisor that I have known for over 12 years informed me today that the recommended DSG service intervals are now at 50/100/150K miles vs...

Chad, I'de call Boardwalk in Richardson if I were you. I've bought 7 vehicles from these guys and they are by far the best one around.

How to safley remove gooey resedue This may be off the subject but I discovered a product a few years back and have fund a number of uses for it since. Some of you might have used it but for those who have not, orange oil in full strength can just a bout remove most of the gooey stuff. I know...

My experience We own a 2010 JSW TDI and a 2011 Jetta. We just had the fuel line recall take care of as well a bad MFD in my JSW. Our experience with our dealership has always been pleasant and we have been going there since 1999. Infact we have now purchased 7 cars from this dealership...

I've had a few of these over the years. They have a OEM look, work well, and there is no need for a place to store the thing since it collapses on its own in the corner. Might want to take a look http://www.improvementscatalog.com/home/improvements/792927260-retractable-auto-sun-shade.html

Seems like a great idea, I'm in.

Okay folks, I've looked all over the place (except for the dealer of course) for a new bumper. I have a 2010 JSW and am thinking about getting a Westfalia hitch. The exiting bumper had some deep gouges on one side and so I don't think it can be repaired. I figured I buy a new one, cut the...

Bes palce to look.... http://www.westfalia-automotive.de/index.php?id=6&L=1

I exchanged a couple of e-mails with Curt manufacturing a while back asking them about a Westfalia or Bosal type hitch. He was very interested in seeing the product info I had sent him. There is such a big difference between this design and what we get here in NA. Great job documenting your...

I got a kit from an ebay vendor for around $90.00 which included a piece for the roof, A pillars, mirrors and rear bumper. I think it took about 4 hours to install . It was a bit of challenge but so far they've held up. and judging but I have peeled off of them after couple of round trips, they...

They should not have charged you for the work. The service adviser at the dealership that takes care of our vehicles told us VW covers the repair twice during warranty period.

There are three things to consider; Vehicles reliability How many miles you drive per year How long you intend to keep the car I never buy a car without a extended warranty. I always negotiate the vehicle’s price and just as they ask for signature I ask for the extended warranty as good faith...

If you like the chrome exhaust tips, you can find them on Amazon for 31.00 a set. Look for http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=277549&highlight=krfar and you'll see pictures I took off of mine back when I put them on. They are holding much better than I expected, no sign of aging.

I just got an email blast from the dealer where we have been buying our cars and it is basically states that 2011 Touareg is covered by VW's 36000 mile bumper to bumper / 100,000 power train and includes the 36000 miles complimentary service. Has anyone bought a 2011 Tourag yet? I'm wondering if...

It makes more sense now. Thanks tcp ip dude.

My initial thought was that this was a regen process, but then I thought about the fact that most of the millage on the car has been accumulated on Hwy and well 55 mph. Not to mention the fact that I had just come from a road trip, where I put another 600 miles on the car. It just seems...

Thanks for the input guys. I have to take it in for the 10K service soon and will let the dealer know. I wonder if there is a document somewhere explicitly describing the regen process and the maximum RPM the engine might reach during the process. It just seems to me that it could be safety...

Hi all, I noticed something odd over the weekend after the car had come to a full stop at a traffic signal. Fortunately I had my foot on the break but the RPM jump up to about 1500 a couple of times on its own. The whole thing lasted 3-4 seconds. BTW, I have about 8700 miles on the car and...
