Alright, so I did a thing. This is something you can do for most Mk6 cars. If you have a Mk6 Golf or Mk6 Jetta Sportwagen, you can do this mod. Mk6 Jetta, sorry, you guys have cable actuated climate controls and that's a whole nother can of worms.
If you have these climate controls, you can...
Basically the title. I'm just curious if such a swap would be possible, as the Mk7 TDI has much taller gearing which would be nice to have in my Jetta Sportwagen. I understand that the Mk7 cars are electrically very different from the Mk6s, but the 2015 Jetta TDI was still on PQ35, just heavily...
So I have a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI, and recently I've started having issues with my rear brakes. Randomly at the end of a 40 mile drive the left rear brake started smoking and smelling. My guess was that brake was caught engaged. After that, I had the parking brake cable loosened from the...
My question is basically the title. I understand that biodiesel isn't recommended for these cars due to oil dilution during the DPF regneration process. Without a DPF, is that no longer a problem? Can I all of a sudden run higher proportions of biodiesel? Or how about Low Sulfur Diesel, like the...
I'm wondering if it drones audibly at highway speeds. I would be looking at getting one with the cat and keeping the rear factory muffler. My concern is that the kit doesn't come with a resonator, I'm wondering if one would be necessary.
So I've got a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. Love the car, it's in great shape, currently at 76k miles. I'm getting extremely poor fuel mileage, like 25 MPG on the highway while driving like a granny. DPF regenerates super frequently too, like every 150 - 180 miles. Took it to the dealer, but they...
So I've got a Mk6 Jetta Sportwagen TDI that I want to make some upgrades to. Been interested in a GTI steering wheel. To make that swap, I found a base model Mk6 Jetta sedan in an LKQ junkyard near me. (The base model has the same airbag as the GTI's steering wheel). Problem is that the cars in...
So I'm looking at a DPF delete kit for my 2012 Jetta Sportwagen, and the two names I hear tossed around the most are Darkside Developments and Rawtek. Looking at the Rawtek kit, it's like $1200 (if I want to keep my catalytic converter, which I do). The Darkside equivalent is a shorter section...
Recently, I've been having issues with the panoramic sunroof on my 2012 Jetta Sportwagen. Car leaked like crazy from all four drains, the A pillars were soaked during the last rain. However, I got a tip from my mechanic friend that I haven't seen posted anywhere on the Internet, and I thought...
I have a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI with about 73,000 miles on it. It's completely up to date on maintenance. Timing belt was replaced at 70k as a preventative measure, along with oil change, fuel filter, etc. DSG fluid also done. The car throws no codes and gets up to operating temperature...
My 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI has been a great vehicle, but something strange just happened. The car ran fine in the morning, but this afternoon it didn't want to start. It was parked in the driveway, and cranked without starting. Tried cranking it multiple times, it just wouldn't start. Then...
So basically, last year the fun folks over at the California Air Resources Board released a new edict: your car will fail smog if the ECU has a tune on it. Has to be stock, or a special exempt tune (just found out about it when I was planning on a Malone tune). Now while right now you can just...
So I recently picked up a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI, and I'm really enjoying it. It had a broken pano sunroof shade, so I cut the entire cloth covering out, disabled the track bar in VCDS, and tinted the sunroof. Works pretty nice, and that way I can use the comfort sunroof opening/closing...
I'm trying to find a good, local mechanic that specializes in VWs (I don't want to go to a general German shop and get luxury pricing) and is good with TDIs, but all the posts I can find on this forum are from seven years ago, with most of those shops being closed by now. Does anyone know the...
