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...

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, 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...

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...

My old oil extractor which I had purchased from Princess Auto cracked and I bought a new one from the same place. Problem is when I went to extract my old engine oil the white tubing pvc that came with it was too short. The old extractor came with a much longer pvc tube which allowed me to...

From what I have been reading my 2013 Passat TDI does not appear to be affected by the VW scandal; only 2014-2015 models. Anyone knows why? My model has the Urea system. Is it possible that the 2014-2015 models don't have such system to reduce Nx emissions? I used to have a 2001 Tdi golf so...

Hi, My 2013 Passat almost has 60k Kms on it and is time to do the DSG transmission oil change. I'm still debating between the factory fill in method vs measure re-refill method. I currently don't have a VCDS tool yet but I may make the investment and buy one. Anyone knows where in Canada I...

Hi, My 2013 Passat TDI has 50k Kms. If I perform the oil changes myself going forward will that void the warranty left on my car? What about if I change myself the fuel filter and change the transmission oil DSG which is due at 60k Kms?

Hi, My wife has been complaining about my 2001 golf 3 doors tdi 350k kms about being old, hood-rusty and not safe (vs an suv) when I need to take one of our kids in for a drive. She uses an suv for our family and to get to work. I drive my VW everyday to work in Toronto. I visited a local VW...

Hi Anyone knows a muffler shop in Toronto that is willing to simply cut a bad pipe section and weld a new one in place? Shops like Mr muffler normally want to change the whole exhaust system even for a small repair. There is a shop in Montreal where they basically repair any section of the...

I've had two aftermarket batteries barely lasting 3 years each and having a very difficult time cranking at -5 or below. Had enough. Went to the VW dealership this morning and bought a new battery. I was surprised to see that it was actually a bigger battery than the ones sold aftermarket and...
