    ‘Oil change needed! Service Vehicle’ light keeps popping up even though service has been completed on my 2015 Passat TDI?

    Having the same problem on my 2015 Passat. Just had the tech hook up the computer and reset the system, but I still get the warning that I need an oil change. The MFD shows 1/2 screens with the warning. Screen 2/2 tells me that he interval is 10,000 until next oil change and 20,000 until next...

    rear view mirror

    I just picked up a recirculated 2015 Passat SE with sunroof pkg and 20k miles yesterday. I was surprised that it did not have the auto dimming rv mirror. The 2015 brochure shows it as a standard feature on the TDIs. I had it on my 09 Jetta TDI (sold back) and loved it. Is it possible that...

    TCM Transmission Control Module Question

    TCM replacement successfull I just wanted to close the loop on this. After my mechanic told me it couldn't be done, I went ahead and swapped the module myself and then cleared all codes. I shifted a little strangely at first, but after several hundred miles around town, it is shifting well...

    TCM Transmission Control Module Question

    Thanks. According to the mechanic, this code means "Faulty TCM". The mechanic is going to provide the codes for the "new" one tomorrow. I'll post them then. What makes the module seem likely to me is that if I do a reset by using the "key on don't start, push pedal to floor, wait 10 sec...

    TCM Transmission Control Module Question

    I'm not sure what tool they used. "seems fine" was not the best choice of words... Will do. Thanks. 01M - I'm guessing that refers to this model of auto tranny?

    TCM Transmission Control Module Question

    Thanks. I think so too. $360 and the car is the same as it was when I brought it in. I'm not enthralled with this mechanic. He's treated my daughter really well, but I don't think he knows squat about VW.... Meanwhile, the guy I bought the module from is working with me... If anyone out...

    TCM Transmission Control Module Question

    Hi All, I have a 2001 Beetle TDI. The transmission was rebuilt a few months ago and now it is throwing a 65535 error. It also is slow to shift into 4th. The transmission itself seems to be fine. The TCM in the car is a 01M927733KA. The only replacement that I found was a 01M927733HK which...

    FS 17" Rims with KUMHO low profile tires *PICTURE*

    I live in Marietta. How about $500 and no shipping? They look great. They'll fit a NB - right? Tom W. Oops. Guess I better update my profile. Still says Tucson... [ February 05, 2002, 17:28: Message edited by: Bug ]

    Anyone get Michelin on new TDI?

    My '01 NB GLS TDI came with Michelins. I have the plain steel wheels. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Alloy = Continentals? Steel = Michelin?

    Clutch Pulsating

    I have a '01 NB and I noticed the same thing just a couple of days ago. When I start to push the clutch in from nuetral, I feel a light pulsating. I've always had Veedub gassers (Ghia, Kombi, Scirroco, Jetta, Cabrio) and I've never noticed this before and I'm usually tuned-in to every noise...

    msaeger, You are probably right, but over the years I've come to expect nothing from VWoA. I figured I would go right to the source. Now that you mention it, I'll see if I can find a similar feedback link on the US server tomorrow. It can't hurt to send it there too. Tom W.

    Test Drove a TDI! Question about break-in...

    Poe, We bought our Durango for the almost the same reason - we've got 4 kids. There aren't too many cars out there that will haul 6. Plus, most of the camping in AZ is remote and really requires the 4WD. My commute to work is about 90 miles a day. I was filling up the D about twice a week...

    Test Drove a TDI! Question about break-in...

    I got the same "four month" story from my dealer in Tucson, and if I didn't work here in Mexico, I too would have felt that it was pure BS. (BTW - they had 30+ NBs on the lot and only one of them was a TDI - It's now mine ;-) Since I DO work in Mexico, I understand a little bit how it works...
