    Exhaust Flap TSB

    Got a MIL at 96000 km on our 2012 Golf SW. Went to Brandon at DCB who scanned it FOR FREE and confirmed it was the Exhaust Valve. I am hoping to have it covered under extended warranty at Don Valley VW tomorrow. Like others, I noticed that the DPF was not operating and the mileage went up...

    Good Tire Sale and Service - JoyCity, 445 Midwest Rd. TO

    I supplied the tires. Joe sold me 4 VW "sedona" take-off rims (They come with the Golf Sportwagon; probably others). He removed my winter wheels and tires and mounted my tires on the new wheels, balanced and put them on the car with new valves for $595 total cash. The wheels are 16x16.5 5x112...

    Good Tire Sale and Service - JoyCity, 445 Midwest Rd. TO

    I got a set of dealer take off rims from Joe Chou at Joycity Tires, 445 Midwest Rd. Unit 13, Toronto (Scarborough?) Joe was friendly, took me in right away and did a good job of balancing and installing my wheels and tires. I would recommend him for sales and service on tires. That's his only...

    Tracking TDI Golf Wagon?

    This morning, Apr. 27, 2013 at 7 am, I was doing email and glanced out the window onto the street. There was a TDI Golf Wagon just like mine, except it had roof racks installed, stopped in front of my house. The person inside was looking at my TDI Golf Wagon parked in my driveway and was...

    2000 Golf written off; Impact Auto

    Mine was branded right away. It wasn't possible for me to keep the "wreck". I bought a new car in the meantime.

    2000 Golf written off; Impact Auto

    It is not something that I am able to do at this point. I just was giving up the information for the benefit of members here who have helped me out before. Bill

    2000 Golf written off; Impact Auto

    The original estimate for the value of my car was based on comparisons with cars that weren't the same model, GLS, and not even diesels. I sent in receipts for recent work. The value was increased by about $1000. I then had an independent evaluation done that was very, very conservative and...

    2000 Golf written off; Impact Auto

    My 2000 Golf GLS TDI was written off after a collision last January. It has a lot of new parts (Nokian tires, turbo, suspension, brakes) and (was) running great. My wife won't let me have another car in the driveway. Don't know if anyone here would be interested. It was picked up last Friday by...

    Drunk Driver TO'd our Baby

    I am looking to sell this Golf to anyone interested here. The damage is to the rear, especially to the left rear. The rear axle is broken. The body is slightly twisted so that the driver door and rear door on that side don't close properly. You can see the mis-alignment if you look from the...

    Anyone else having tire/vibration issues?

    I just picked up a new Golf TDI Wagon with a similar vibration on the highway. It may be tires, but I am thinking engine. It is in the seats, so if tires, would be the rear. Tires are Bridgestone. Could be motor mounts bad or stressed from installation. Could be due to fuel line vibration. At...

    Burning smell / fan stays on - happened 2 times now

    I have owned VW diesels since 1994 and a TDI since 2004. Two days ago, I brought my 2012 Golf TDI wagon home, the day of delivery, with 100 km on it and parked in my drive and the fans were on and it smelled of burnt oil. Just about crapped. I hadn't read the manual and the sales delivery person...

    Drunk Driver TO'd our Baby

    You are probably right. It was more likely drugs. There was a driver and a passenger. They destroyed a traffic sign about 2 blocks away before getting to my street. They nearly ran down some people clearing snow just before hittiing my car and then my neighbour's car. Then they drove another...

    It is declared a Salvage car. So is anyone interested in it? The damage was mostly to the rear and the frame is twisted.
