    No Ignition. Bad Relay?

    My 2012 SEL TDI has no ignition. When I get in the car with my KESSY, I push the start button and nothing happens. No lights on dash, nothing. I've checked all fuses inside the car and under the hood. I put in a new battery in the car and a new battery in the remote. I did a code reset...

    2012 Passat won't start - Help, please.

    I have a 57K mile 2012 Passat SEL that is being bought back by VW. The car has been stored for about a month and started a week ago. Today it started the car and let it run for about 10 minutes. I then shut it down and went in for lunch. When I came back out, nothing at all happened when I...

    Rear Air Vents Not Worth It?

    I've closely examined a 2013 SEL and tested the rear air vents. I don't think the change was worth it. The shallow cup holders without a cover are less classy looking and not as functional due to their depth. The rear vents don't blow much air unless you close some of the front vents. The...

What kind of problems should I tell the dealer I'm having so that he will be able do the upgrade under warranty. The unit now is very slow but I don't know if that complaint alone will trigger...

    Prediction for the 2015 Passat SEL

    Most automakers selling to the US market do a major update to their cars after three years in production. The reason for this is that three years is the most common lease period. I think that the 2015 Passat SEL will add HID headlights, LED taillights & DRL's, and electronic parking brake in...
