Okay, so I've used High Mileage Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 but I was told by my dealer for my VIN # I should use 0W-30 Full Synthetic. What does everyone use and brand? Just trying to put the best in that I can for my 2015 VW Passat TDI SEL.

Okay, not sure if that is the problem then. Because sometimes it will start and then it won't, with that code coming up on the dash. Thanks for the help.

I have a cheap scanner that is not bringing up any codes. So would this problem not let my car start? If I can get it to an auto parts store to be scanned would it tell me what tire sensor is potentially faulty?

So the other day I was driving my 2015 VW Passat TDI SEL. The tires slipped on an ice patch which activated the stability track. It then went off afterward. The problem is now that it (Error: stabilization control (ESC)) keeps coming on every time I start my car and today the car just won't even...

Good grief! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Can anyone tell me where the thermostat is located so I can replace this myself? Sorry, but I can't find it! Is there a diagram or about where it's located? I can't find anything online.

Update! My VW dealer got my Passatt in to do the 2nd part of the update/modification. They have given me a 2023 VW Jetta for the loaner car. I'm hoping to have my car back in the next week. I'm bummed that I can't take this loaner car out of state though. I need to make a quick trip to CA, I...

I'm starting to figure these things out, which is sad because I really love this car, especially for the gas mileage. I live in Utah and just drove to California and back for $150. I love the gas mileage that it gets so I don't want to get rid of it if I don't have to.

I'm hoping this will be a smooth process when VW customer care gets back to me.

I bought this car used a little over two years ago and I am just now learning about all of this warranty stuff. I am getting worried that I’ve only got a little less than 20,000 miles to go to get the problems fixed under warranty. The VW dealer supposedly did a software update last week when...

VW Customer Care has now documented my complaint and said they will have a regional case manager call me tomorrow. VW Customer Care also told me that my Passat is now eligible to have the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst replaced free of charge. So I'm now hoping that they will just approve fixing all...

I am chatting with VW customer care as we speak. They are looking into it. I also called my VW dealer back and explained the situation to them and I said that it should be under warranty and he was saying "Well it depends on how long I have been driving the car with the light on". This is BS...

Thanks for the info! I figured it should be under warranty due to it being part of the emissions control systems, but the dealer told me it was not. That it's just due to bad diesel being run in it. How do I fight this then?

My car is under warranty for about another 20,000 miles. But they told me that this problem is not covered under the warranty.

The code that comes up on the scanner is P045F. So the dealer told me this "Found DTC indicating EGR valve GX6 no or incorrect basic settings. Tested GX6, GX6 passed all self tests and was able to set basic settings. Test drove vehicle, DTCS did not return. Advise customer if DTCS return will...

Sorry, I'm new to this, so I'm not sure what the abbreviations are?

My check engine light came on so I took it to a VW dealer. They told me that I need to pay $900 + to have a whole carbon cleanout done. Is there a cheaper fix to this problem? So far I have only run one can of Seafoam and one bottle of Lucas DPF cleaner in my tank to help. The light is still on...
