    Transmission not shifting properly in D Mode - reset question

    Hi, I have a 2013 TDI 2.0 Passat with 350k kms. A few months ago the transmission started acting strangely in D auto mode. Sometimes it's stuck in 1-2-3 gear ( RPM goes up to 4000 ) and it would not shift to 4-5-6 gears. Sometimes it's just stuck in 1st gear not willing to upshift at all. In...

    DEF VCDS reset North Oshawa

    Hi. Well the good news is that after cleaning the NOX sensor the code is gone. I just took the car for a run and it’s regenerating right now. The 10km msg has now turned red and is indicating a NO Restart next time I turn off/on the engine. Maybe the car will restart or not. If you are able to...

All I know is that the car is inside my garage and I have 10 km left before a no engine start. I think the extended emission warranty is...

    AC question - running engine on empty system refrigerant?

    Hello, I have a 2013 Passat TDI. A/C system was working on and off/delayed last summer. It’s not working now anymore. I checked the AC refrigerant pressures and there are no leaks.
