    Just bought a 2014 Jetta TDI Sportswagon with 23,500 original miles on it… I didn’t do my homework and am finding out about all the problems and

    The JSW, CJAA TDI cars are very nice cars in my opinion. But, they are not problem free and can be maintenance intensive. You have already learned about the Pano roof leakage issue. Regular drain cleaning is required, to both the front & rear drains. Other issues you may, or will, come to...

    Under boost DTC & valve. Input & 2nd opinions requested.

    The engine runs. But, not well. Simply, no boost, no power. The balance is not that far off & underboost is the only code. The clatter & pooping within the intake make it clear that there is something more to it. The Turbo is blowing & appears intact (pending removal). Intercooler hoses...

    Opinions needed on 5th gear conversion.

    IHO, the taller 5th requires a decent tune, 1+ to 2. Depending upon your regular driving speeds & terrain, .681 is the best. If flat & higher end speeds: .658. if lower, perhaps the .700 as Peter writes.

    Bullet proofing the Sportwagen TDI

    Gap in lower timing belt cover. I also distrust the stock bleeder block with the tiny orifice. The ECS or similar bleeder blocks and hoses appear to be a significant improvement for manual transmission CT cars.
