Looks like 2013s are the ones not covered, same issue with mine. Have to do some research on how hard it is to do oneself, tho Ive done it on other cars, and for sure its been a major PITA. Anyone know about our Passats? --------------- Ok nevermind - just saw the heater core thread. I'll...

Maybe this got covered already but I tried to upload the two docs they wanted - notary and the letter and the site would only take one before moving on to final verification....which of course is wrong. I guess I could fax it all instead but I'm sure that would confuse them. Anyone else have...

Got my offer letter today. I vaguely remember a calculator that took into account mileage that someone posted here on the forum. I just turned 90k today, so curious just how much mileage penalty I'm looking at.....anyone know where that link is? ----------------- Ok, never mind, I found this...

uh...it wouldnt start cause it wasn't doing any pumping. Dead. As a door nail. Now, why it decided to die while sitting in my driveway and just resting over night after a 400mi long haul is the $64K question....

Yes I could do it easy - I wrenched for a living longtime ago. But the $400 for labor and the dealer coverage there in, plus the other issues that seem to be cropping up ala turbos, def heater etc, I think I'll call $400 judicious insurance until I can sell it in the buy back. I love the VW...

The dealer came back and verified a failed intank pump. The said theres no metal in the system, which is obviously an issue for the HPFP, but its gonna cost me $800. I know its a pretty easy pull and replace, but in this case with the pending dieselgate payout (I got a letter recently: 5K+...

Had my '13 towed to the dealer this morning. I think the lift pump has gone out as I dont hear the 3 sec whine anymore and of course it wont start. Hunted around the threads but didnt see anyone else mention this failure for the NMS. So a few questions: do the NMS' have a two legged fuel...

Just took my 2013 Passat to the dealer on a roll back. Blinking glowplug light, engine light, turn signal out light - all at the turn of the key in my driveway - none of which were there on its last outing yesterday. Started up normal, but when I dropped it in gear, it quit. Started again...

There's another thread on Rain-x - maybe many - in the MkIV area. I just posted there but here's what I did to solve the Rain-X permanent washer light on: 2013 TDI Passat with the same problem here with the Rain-X. Light came on right after I put the stuff in. Left it on all the winter, and...

2013 TDI Passat with the same problem here with the Rain-X. Light came on right after put the stuff in. Left it on all the winter, and just finished it. I put in some cheap target blue stuff, and it was slow to come on, but did none the less after a few minutes. I pulled my tank (its a cake...

I stand corrected then. Thanks. I'll go look for it. But I must say, though it is sadly understandable that the sales guy (whos been selling VWs since the 70's) wouldnt know, but the techs? Inexcusable. Especially if it seems its been on various TDIs since 2010....like not knowing if the...

I'm pretty curious as to how you've ascertained that there is such a heater, because, 1) a 1500W electric heater would draw 125amps at 12volts. That's better amp service than as most houses built in the '80s. 2) And you'd be talking a 3-ish gau cable run. Our starter might pull 80A as the only...

Comfort blinking? I turned that right off in the dealership parking lot. Had it in an A3 across the pond. I hate that. But each to his own and nice to have the option to tinker with it to your liking.

Christ almighty. Read the thread. The 2013 manual, even though it says on the cover "Owners Manual Passat US Edition Model Year 2013" has a mis-print on this "pretty important area". What's wrong with having the correct pages from the 2012 manual? Sure, I can go to the dealer and ask for a...

Any chance someone can scan and upload the coolant pages from their 2012 manual so us 2013'ers can have the right poop ad infinitum, please?

I used to load for UPS in college. If you didn't throw stuff around like a mad-man, you couldn't make your trailer load and you'd back up the conveyor. That was a no-no (backing up the conveyor). "This side up" and "Fragile", forget about it...

Excellent job Dr Watson, Sherlock would be proud. That said, I'm still smell a rat! I think I remember revisionist history that said Gutenberg was secretly a Dane!:D Seriously, just to be clear, for those of you with known G12, your stuff is pink too, yes?

All - this is good. I like the "search and destroy" mission on the G13. Thanks for taking up the inquiry. Kinda befuddling that the manual says G13 and only G13, but the VW order block says "nah, just use 12." Me thinks "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." - Hamlet (1.4.90) :rolleyes:

Despite the fact that Niner thinks I don't read the manual, or dont know what it is, G13, on page 266, is TL-VW774J. G12 is 744G. What's the difference? Beats the hell out of me, which is why I came here - Google brought me. In anycase, my book says " Do not mix G13 with G12+ or G11". So I...

Thank you. Your response was absolutely spot on and completely informative. Thanks for being a normal helpful person. My encounter with some other "put down types" around here had me wondering about the make up of this site... Cheers!:)
