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...
Hi. Any ideas where I can buy a new NOx sensor besides VW dealership? I have a 2013 Passat sensor # 03L907807 AD continental part # 5WK9 6688A. Local dealership is asking $1200 for part. Their part # is also slightly different 03L907807 AF. I see businesses selling online the proper part number...
So here’s an update on my situation. I called the VW dealership and they said that I was now out of extended emission warranty.
With regards to NOX sensor, I removed it and cleaned it with a carburetor cleaner from Canadian Tire. I then let it sitting in a Lucas fuel/injector cleaner solution...
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...
Hello,
Anyone available in Durham region to possibly do a DEF light reset? I tried the 30 sec turn key method with no luck. Tank is full DEF. Error msg shows I only have 10km left before a no start. Thx.
Hello. From all the reading I’ve made on this topic, it looks more likely to be a faulty DEF sensor. It could also be a problem caused by a faulty NOx sensor. 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...
Hello,
I'm looking for your advice. I have a 2013 Passat with 250k kms. I used to drive 120kms every day to work; now I barely put 300-500 km every month since I work from home due to Covid. VW did software emissions upgrade at 190k kms. At 200k kms Turbo failed and it was replaced under...
Hi,
This morning my TDI lost power on the road. Scan code shows No P0299 turbocharger underboost condition. I hear a whistling sound when I press the gas pedal.
Q1. Is it safe to continue driving the car with an under boost condition until I have time to look into it ?
Q2. Where can I find...
Hi,
Nardi Motors in Scarborough used to do my timing belt changes when I had my 2001 Golf TDI. It appears that they went out of business some time ago. I’ve now had a TDI 2013 for 5 years with 188 000 Kim’s on it. I need to change the timing belt. Do you have any recommendations of a good and...
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. Solenoid valve connector also has voltage so I suspect the issue is with the solenoid valve.
My question is if I...
Hi,
My 2013 TDI Passat came with all season tires 215 60 r 16. 2 years ago I bought used rims/tires 215 55 r 17 from another Passat TDI owner. Ever since my speedometer has been over indicating my speed by about 10%. The faster I go the wider the gap. For instance, If I am travelling at approx...
Would you know where I could find a diagram with all the hvac actuators on my Passat? It's a dual climate system. Ac works fine on right vent middle of dashboard, right side and bottom feet. On middle left vent, ac works 20% cold and 0% left driver vent and bottom driver feet. It looks like...
Hi,
I have a 2013 Passat TDI DSG. Yesterday I took it to the dealership to have the Tdi fix done and I also asked to perform a service call on the heat core since the front passenger side wasn't getting heat since last winter. I might just do it before the winter comes. AC was working fine when...
Hi,
About 2 oil changes ago I stopped bringing my 2012 TDI Passat to the dealership for oil changes. I started buying the oil and filter at the dealership and doing the oil change own my own.
Today I went to buy oil to do my oil change and I noticed the castrol bottle had changed looks. When...
