    Just got my green check marks! About time, a very small crack (5mm) started to appear on my windshield... already replaced it last summer.

    Adblue DPF Injector Crystallization

    This isn't normal. I had mine replaced late last year. Be sure to have the dealer replace the injector. Mine replaced the feed line first because his TSB mentioned that even though the leak was clearly coming from the injector...

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    After a few days my system reverted back to correct operation. fader/sub options re-appeared and I could see again the Fender logo on boot up, though this one is random. Sometimes the VW logo appears without the Fender logo. The FM 87.7 issue seems to be fixed for good. I've enabled HD Radio...

    Fender sound system downgrade

    If you have the Fender sound system and your dealer updates the software, make sure you still have the right software version... My dealer installed an "update" that is supposed to fix the 87.7 issue on Friday. I noticed today that they actually downgraded the software to the standard version...

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    New problems... Had to have one key fob replaced as it drained the battery within 2 weeks. Also, when the dealer programmed the new key fob, they also "upgraded" my radio software to fix the "revert to 87.7" issue. They actually "downgraded" the software to the basic version and I lost all the...

    Strange trumpet noise

    Hi, last winter, I had one occasion where the car didn't start (~14K KM). After plugging the block heater for 1 hour, it started but made a strange constant low pitch "trumpet" noise for approximately one minute, then it never made this sound again until now (32K KM). 3 times in the last...

    20,000kms so far on first DEF tank...

    Refilled it myself after the first service and I was able to put 8-9L of the stuff, based on the capacity of the tank it would take approximately 30K Km before it gets empty. I could pour the remaining 3-4L I had left at 23K Km, now waiting to empty the tank before I fill again.

    Auto headlamps and ambient lighting question

    Do you have light assist (optional)? If yes, the auto high beam is enabled when you attempt to use the high beam. A white high beam sign with the letter A on it will appear on the MFD.

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    The latch on the little compartment next to the steering wheel just broke, making the compartment stay open. It seems that something came loose inside (likely a spring). My next trip to the dealer will be interesting with this, along with a leaking rear washer nozzle and a leaking AdBlue injector.

    Something leaking?! Pics inside

    Mine just started to leak after 24500KM. I'm currently 2500KM from home. Seeing the dealer will have to wait a bit...

    rattling noise around 2000 rpm

    I'm just in the middle of a 5K KMs (3000 miles) road trip and I also started to notice a rattling noise that seems to the normal "diesel clatter" a few people mentioned here, between 1800-2000 RPM. 24K KMs (15000 miles) on the clock. Not sure if it is normal or not. The fuel consumption is...
