    Alternator failure - internal clutch?

    It's funny you should mention that. I said that to the service manager, as I noticed that the pulley itself was seized and she came back saying that the tech said it was the internal clutch. Maybe they meant the bearings rather than the clutch, that is why I am confused.

    Alternator failure - internal clutch?

    I was on my way into the office and when I was at a light, the battery light came on. Fortunately, I was only about an eighth of a mile from my office. I checked under the hood, and the alternator pulley was sitting on the frame rail. The belt looked a little glazed from heat, but not broken...

    Head unit replacement, anyone ever tried this unit?

    That is correct. Neither have integration with the multi function display in the instrument cluster.

    Head unit replacement, anyone ever tried this unit?

    Seems like an interesting option. It doesn't say if it works with the factory steering wheel controls. Another factory option is the RCD330+ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC1.A0.H0.XRCD330.TRS0&_nkw=rcd+330+plus&_sacat=0 It's a factory VAG head unit...

    Alternator dead on 2014 JSW.

    The stealership had to replace my alternator at 60K miles because it was barely keeping the battery charged. I never noticed an issue because it has a brand new battery. The service foreman told me this was the third 2014 TDI that they had to replace the alternator on. Fortunately, they were...

    DSG S-Mode

    I've always wondered if the tune would have an adverse effect on the durability of the DSG.

    2012 Sportwagen Delete Process

    Sounds like you are burning oil and coolant, based on the blue and white smoke. That could point to either the turbo, or the head gaskets are bad. All are covered under the DieselGate warranty.

    2014 JSW options list

    US market had different trim levels than the Canadian market. In the US, the JSW were all SEs, which means the leatherette interior and there were very few in the way of options packages.

    What hazards should I know about a 2014 TDI SportWagen?

    I paid $13.9k for my 2014 Pano/DSG. The HPFP issues don't seem to be much of a concern in cars built after 2012, IIRC. The pano seems to be a point of contention, but as long as you clear the drains and keep it maintained, it should be okay, just like anything else.

    Another mkIV vs mkV/VI thread.

    At that price, it should be a CPO car, which would come with a 2yr/Unlimited mile bumper to bumper.

    Another mkIV vs mkV/VI thread.

    What Indigo said. How much are they asking for the car?

    Another mkIV vs mkV/VI thread.

    If it's a low mileage 2014, from a VW dealership, it should come with the CPO warranty, which is 2yr/Unlimited mile B2B, with the emissions warranty on top of that. I love my 2014, but don't be too shocked when you don't get the fuel economy in the JSW that your other TDI got. It will not be as...

    Narrower Tires

    With a lower rolling resistance, you do get a decrease in grip, especially going with a narrower tire. You would see an increase in fuel economy, but it may be negligible. Personally, I prefer a wider tire, and am willing to take the small hit on MPG for better handling, but, if you are using it...

    Pano Roof

    I would call the service manager. I know mine has no deductible.

    CPO TDI year options, BUYERS GUIDE

    ^^This!. All MK6 sportwagens have the IRS since they are Golfs, NOT Jettas. They are only Jetta in name, and only in the US. The Jetta sedan (save the GLI) from 2010 to 2013 came with the beam axle in the back.
