All VW and Audi from 2006+ have this feature available to be enabled. Its usually under Convenience Control Module, under Long Coding. Lot of times on newer vehicles you can enable this feature via MFA or in MMI control on Audi's.

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Agree with others that have pointed out good advice and places to look for the answers. From what I gathered and understood, you might have several issue going on with your setup. As it is very difficult to believe that 4 different same turbos on same...

The limp mode is gonna be N75 valve the issue or the VNT smart actuator, check if actuator holds vacuum. For headlight get a good set of new bulbs like Sylvania Silverstar Ultra ($50-60) for set, cheap bulbs are junk and usually burnout very quickly. Interior light can come on due to faulty door...

Hey, to my knowledge there isn't a guru or TDI specialized shop in Sioux City other then recently opened up VW dealer, as non of my customers ever mentioned any good reputable shops there. If you would like and the owner of that Jetta willing to drive an hr up north to Sioux Falls for you, then...

The oxy-torch or map gas torches are great at open areas that aren't in danger of been torched. On automotive tight confined spaces the best application to use for loosening rusted bolts/nuts is by using either electromagnetic heat inductor or a good powerful heat gun that can be purchased at...

Yes you can add ESP button just lIke your 2010 Jetta, go on USPmotorsports.com they have a kit to install esp button. It's simply a OEM button and wire that runs to ebs pump and other 2 are ground and power supply.

Congrats on your new purchase. Here is the best advice you could take for keeping your tdi running always in below zero temps. 1) keep your fuel level in tank above at least 1/4, ideally 1/2 to minimize condensation build up. Also if you run down tank till empty (ligth on) fill up and driver...

I'm sorry to disappoint you my friend, but on MK5 chassi there is no need to drop subframe to remove transmission. On this chassi it so much easier to remove transmission then on MK4. All you need to do is remove passenger side axle flange (6mm long allen), then of course remove complete driver...

The lug bolt lock key are unique to its set of 4 wheels lug bolts. You can find matching one if you know your original key part number then you could search online to find one or order from dealer replacement. Otherwise you are looking at roughly 10-20 different combinations depending on year of...

Please post pics of your main bearings & rod bearings as well of cylinder wall and piston. As that would help us take your statement of "..... Everything looks fine....." more realistic and true. Without proof of that your statement that engines internals look fine after severe oil starvation...

Check make sure the vacuum check valve from pump to booster hose is good (they do fail often), and when you connect mighty vac to nipple at VP hose what does reading says when engine running? should be about 25-30 in.hg if its less then 20 then you have a leak in either vacuum pump nipple or...

Nice work, you went with Buzzken exhaust?

Try Motul 5W-40 or Liqui Molly brand they are expensive oils but much better oil then Castrol.

Sorry to hear about your issue, I've see this happen before. Its common to have broken/seized cam after damaging oil pan, due to loss of oil the first thing that suffers the most is cam bearings get too dry and cam seizes the breaks. This can also happen on engine with too low on oil level most...

You have a bad upper transmission mount, a very common wore out mount after 100k on all TDI's. Due to lot of torque and diesel vibration the transmission mounts upper and lower (dogbone mounts) wear out within 100k miles also has lot to do with type of driving car done, highway driving will...

Best thing to do on manual is always to use ebrake and if on a hill then put in gear as well. This will prevent from vehicle rolling down street in case if either parking brake fails or pops out of gear. On older cars when you have a lot of miles the gears & synchro, as well linkage are worn...

Haha, I agree with your statement, had couple customers from Des Moines area, that had pretty bad experience with Lithia VW and it was some simple jobs that were done incorrectly by dealer.

Pull glow plugs out and check all of them for resistance should be 0.6-1.0 on all of them, if higher or open then they are faulty, replace them with either Bosch, Beru, only don't use Champions or autolites. If plugs test out good then replace glow plug harness if it hasn't been replaced yet...

Very true, but the only VAG engine I've seen that had tensioner tensioned counterclockwise is 2.0L 4 cylinder gasser, otherwise every single one I've done 1.8T, 1.9, 2.0 FTSI, 2.7L & 2.8L, 3.0l V6 as well 4.2L V8 are clocked clockwised, and if used proper locking tools the TB job's are very...

Pull your glow plugs out and check resistance on all of them, should be gettting about 0.600-1.00 omh's and all 4 should be very close to each other. If one is off the grid and rest are withing spec then it will throw a P0380 code. Also check the GP harness if you have original harness then...

Also check you transmission mounts make sure you don't have to excessive drive-train movement under acceleration. As we found out that lot of times thermostat seal leaking even after its been replaced with new housing is cause of worn-out transmission mount. Causing engine moving too far inwards...

Both of tuners Rocketchip and Malone are great tunes and have been in TDI business for over a decade they are both are top choosen TDI tuners in USA. I had both of tunes on my old Golf ALH Rocketchip and Malone, each had its own benefits. But overall I liked Malone tune on my ALH as Rocketchip...

I bet that the tech forgot to refill DSG and your drove a car with like a liter of 2 liters of fluid in it (total capacity is 7 liters), and now clutches are burned and and bearings are over heated (in other words she is toast).

Amen buddy! Stock perfectly maintained with healthy battery (Proper size battery), good healthy starter and working glow plugs as well fresh fuel filter for winter with good at least 1/2 tank of fuel should start -20F no problem with couple glow plug cycles.

The DWS are great tires for all year round, had few sets on my cars and lot of my clients have them and everyone been happy with them. Currently newer version of DWS are Conti Pure Contact, they are similar tread pattern but bit more improved and I think slightly quieter then DWS. I have them on...
