I have the following parts that will be coming off my car before the buyback in a few months. I really hate to part with either, but don't want VW to have parts they don't want or need on the car. I have put about 60K miles on the car with these parts, so they are used but serviceable condition...

I looked around this morning to find a place to post this letter I received from my dealer yesterday. All the threads I found on this "issue" had been locked. I apologize to the mods in advance if this is inappropriate, but I don't think so. I simply want to chronicle incentives, offerings...

I do not use the MDI interface found in the center console of my 2013 JSW. I would like to replace it with the non-MDI insert that has more storage. Two options here: 1. I will sell you my MDI storage box insert with cable. $50 shipped OR 2. I will trade with you for your non-MDI center...

I did some searching and did not come up with any definitive threads or answers. We just bought a 2000 beetle for my daughter. It came with only one key/remote. We would like to add one or two remotes so we parents can have our own. There are tons of remotes with blank keys for sale on Amazon...

What is the normal life expectancy for a CV joint/half shaft assembly? Can worn CV joints cause steering/tracking issues; most noticeable at highway speeds? (differential pull at each front wheel?) The car has 155K miles, and is otherwise in good operating condition.

I just returned from an 900 mile Easter weekend trip to Western NC and back with the wife and 2 tweenagers. We averaged 42 mpg on the trip there and 43+ on the return trip. The odometer turned over 135,000 miles today while returning. We have almost new Continental PureContact Ecoplus tires now...

Can the lower bolts that attach the shocks be removed without dropping the arms and taking the springs out? On a JSW?

I've recently caught a few whiffs of real old-fashioned diesel exhaust smell around my car with no other diesel powered engines operating nearby. While I love the smell, I also know this can be indicative of some larger problem starting. I have no CELs. I also must say that recently I've been...

For Sale, one set of front Tiguan springs with the following color dot sequence: (green, red, white, white) $50 I bought a complete set of stock 2wd (non-sport) springs, shocks, struts from a guy that lowered his 4,000 mile young Tiggy. I used most everything on my JSW except the front coil...

I'm working through refreshing the front end, and have done LCA bushings and struts. Im working on ball joints now, and cannot figure out how to get the ball joint to come out... The bottom three nuts are a breeze, but the main tapered shaft will not budge. I've tried the method detailed in the...

I've been having low battery symptoms. They mainly show up when starting... Sometimes crank with no start, it just doesnt seem to be turning over fast enough. If i try again, it has always started. Had very slow crank and no start Monday. A jump start did the trick, but the battery tested ok a...

The issue here is that recently (in the last 6-9K miles or three months or so) my JSW seems to be much more susceptible to grooved pavement or concrete. Lately it has even started wandering within the lane when there is some rutting of the pavement. I summary it just doesn't feel "planted" like...

Questions re: 2010 JSW Let's start by saying that I do have both original remote key fobs and a valet key. They all work to start and drive the car, so this is not an immobilizer issue. However, the remotes have become finicky lately, so I've been anticipating battery changes for both. I will...

Hey all, Nashville, TN --------1,400 miles---------->> Glenwood Springs, CO Nashville, TN <<------1,400 miles------------ Nashville, TN I'm planning a trip over the week of Christmas with my family. I plan to report experiences here in this thread. My wife and I grew up in Ohio, so we have...

Over the last several months it has seemed that I have had to hold the key in the start position a few milliseconds longer than normal. On occasion if I don't hold it there long enough, the car... won't start. I'm not sure this would be considered a non start since I can cycle the key and...

TNRiverjet here in Nashville... I know we have a few members near hear. St. Hubbins, AppleTechTN, Logan?..

I was in Ecuador last week, and saw some cool diesel options... all without emissions control garbage and no DPFs! Chevy Luv DMax (seemed to be the truck to have) Toyota Hilux (also very popular) various vintages of both from current to rather old and ratty. VW Amarok (not as common, and only...

Hey group, I was in Ecuador last week. As many of you know, there are diesel vehicles galore outside the US. Many SUVs and small pickups have diesel options there. I rode extensively in a 2009 Chevy LUV DMax 4x4. Diesel was 1.049 USD/gallon... Yes, US dollars and GALLONS. He drove that 3.0...
