    VW recalling 150K Passats over headlight concerns

    My god you are so right! I blew mine in winter, ice covered hood dropped it and bang lights out. Thought it was the bulb but nope dealer needed to change the headlight connector housing thing. (pre-recall)

    2013 Passat TDi - tuning questions

    Yes to the DSG tune. Well it shifts hard if you push it hard but otherwise it's much smoother normal driving. It seems to shift at correct points versus closer to 5000rpm previously. It's been a blast on the highway this week :) Also after a few days of driving the car seems to have...

    2013 Passat TDi - tuning questions

    Just had my 2012 done by Giles at Performance Diesel Injection in Toronto, they did a great job. The car is a blast to drive now. Acceleration in passing is just there when you need it, no downshift needed most of the time. Well worth the upgrade...

    Sirius Travel Link RNS-510 in Canada!

    So I received my new car yesterday and noticed not only is the Nav system much faster than the old one but it now has a weather overlay (Sirius Travellink). I'm fairly sure once the 3 month trial is over they will tell me I cannot subscribe in Canada. Anyone else in Canada successful in...

    ECU Problems

    No idea which wire. They initially spliced then once it was proven to be the problem they replaced the harness completely. They did a great job. LB

    A pinched wire, it was intermittent so I can see why it was so hard to diagnose. car runs very well.

    ECU Problems

    Only 13,000 Km / 8000 Miles. And you're right, I'll probably begin the process next week but up here we have to give the manufacturer reasonable time to repair and we have to keep chronological documentation of who did or said what. Plus it would be nice to have VW tell me what the are...

    We'll it's 2 months now. They're having a hell of a time figuring it out. Working on it every day, bringing in factory techs and paying for the loaner, It must be costing them a fortune.

    2012 passat tdi w/ check engine light; VCDS chasis type?

    They're leaning towards this as the problem with mine as well. It must be difficult to troubleshoot this system.

    7th Week - Update False alarm, they thought they had it fixed but the CEL went off again, so now it's something to do with the Ad Blue system. I suggested that 2 weeks ago as there were other cases of Ad Blue pump problems. But hey what do I know. :) We'll at least factory people are...

    ECU Problems

    No bad press still a great car. Dealer called and has it figured out :) they're putting it through it's paces and monitoring it still so I'll get it back later in the week. Cautiously optimistic on that but I'm quite happy with VW's response to my concerns which were answered by their...

    Funny :) No lemon laws but there is an Arbitration program called ... www.camvap.ca If VW can't fix the car and the refuses to replace it then we have that option. I am fairly sure they will replace the car though if this takes much longer. And yes I would be happy to have another...
