    2015 volkswagen passat tdi phase 2 refusal

    I have a CJAA golf and just had the second core replaced a month ago, I've owned the car for 44,000 miles. Heat was warm at best which is not ideal in subzero MN temps. I'm probably a bit more sensitive to it because of cold winter temps, but I don't think it's that unreasonable to expect a car...

    2015 volkswagen passat tdi phase 2 refusal

    Can you explain the heater core clogging with a higher EGR duty cycle? I've read here that the heater core clogging is associated with the high regen temps boiling coolant creating sediment. That makes sense in my mind but I'm more curious about the mechanics of EGR and how that plays a role.

    VCDS Worth The Purchase? (DPF Filter Light)

    That makes sense and I agree, I wish there was a button to tell the car to regen at the beginning of the trip once everything is up to operating temp, rather than getting off the freeway at my destination only to realize the car had just started a regen. I don't think VCDS is your answer here...

    VCDS Worth The Purchase? (DPF Filter Light)

    I would also read a bit more on this forum and elsewhere to understand how your car works and what the regen process does and how it is triggered. The DPF light does not indicate that a regen is in process, it indicates there is an issue with the dpf. This is sometimes accompanied by a check...

    Dieselgate Warranty - Did I just miss out by 1k miles?

    Based on those codes and the date of modification, you're covered, don't stress about it. Certainly sounds like DPF. Sooty tailpipes are a sign of cracked DPF. If yours have black soot, make sure to mention that as it will help the dealer techs with a proper diagnosis. The first time I went in...

    Below 0 Fahrenheit and heater not working properly

    It's your heater core. Known issue on a lot of these cars, but Passats especially. Mine is getting replaced for the second time right now. See if you can find a VW dealer near you before making the journey back. It should be covered under some sort of warranty. Your toes will thank you. Edit...

    New owner

    I'd say hit and miss for me. It's dependent on driving factors and weather primarily. Also the dieselgate fix made it worse. The one time I had a no start it was driven in humid/snowy weather, it warmed up over the weekend when I wasn't driving, and then got super cold. So, I think the...

    A bit of advice...hpfp?

    Sounds an awful lot like water in the intercooler. Check out the threads on that for the Mk6 cars. HPFP seems to be more isolated to the earlier MK6 cars or related to bad fuel/dieselgate cars sitting for long periods of time.

    p0638 - New throttle body covered by warranty

    They'll probably give the normal BS... if it's not covered under warranty you're responsible for the diagnostic fee yada yada yada. Just say okay, or politely remind them that the dieselgate warranty covers any CEL. I wouldn't worry about it. If you have codes, give them what you know and...

    2013 sportwagen air vent handles breaking

    I have a couple that have just lost the little silver/ chrome insert. I've had no luck finding a part number so I assume I'd have to replace the whole vent. Haven't done that yet...

    2014 Heatercore

    Sounds good, I'll have to give the dealer a call who did mine previously and see what they think. I'm not really wanting to pay for a diagnosis and heater core replacement until it's real bad. Mine was done in February of 2019 and only 27,000 miles ago. They also apparently did a coolant flush...

    2014 Heatercore

    Were CJAA cars covered under the heater core extended warranty? I might need to call a dealer and see if my 2012 golf is covered. Heater core seems to be going again. It's not getting very hot and not as hot as I remember, temps have been 15-25 F for the most part lately. Does anyone know what...
