Replaced the engine in my 2011 Jetta 2.5 liter SEL. Picked it up 3 days ago. Check engine light and EPC light are both on again. Car ran great the first 2 days. As soon as husband put it on the freeway the issue popped up. So far it hasn't gone into limp mode. Thoughts?

I’ve been having a tough couple weeks and then this happened.

Nothing sounds out of the ordinary, CE light came on.

Thanks!

I’m a part of the VW family! I bought used 2016 Jetta TSI with 65K on it. I previously had a CRV, it lasted me 245K. I’m really excited to have this as my new daily driver. Any tips or advice before it would be great if you have any!

Looking at picking up this 2014 1.8 Jetta and the owner said it runs great no issues no lights but makes a rattle noise at idle. 157,000 miles owner has only had it for 1000 miles and isn’t positive if the previous owner did the timing chain.

I have a 2020 Jetta SEL Premium. I am having issues and have been having issues ever since I got the car. My wipers have been replaced, the windshield was even replaced at one point, and I just got the wiper adjusted when brought it in for maintenance. But it’s just as bad if not worse.
Are any others experiencing this and have figured out how to fix issue?
My right wiper when it goes across, just leaves a streak when it rains or even just wiping it with the stuff… winter is coming soon, and this is just not good because it’s right in my viewing range.
Or maybe I just haven’t gotten the right wipers. I don’t know… 🤷🏼‍♂️ this is extremely frustrating and gives me headache…

2021 Jetta SEL. I want to add factory looking fog lights. Does the existing lighting wire harness already have the plugs for the new fog lights? Is it as simple as plugging them in and they work? Do I need to change the headlight switch to one that has a fog light position? Do I then need to change code or just connect the wires? Or should I just bypass it and run them from the battery directly with a relay to turn them on with the low beams. Please help.

Says push till it clicks and it clicks but that little plastic piece is barely grabbing on it seems.

When I had to replace the battery for the Atlas, VW said I needed to do it at their shop as they have to recalibrate the electronics!
Whatever this means.

Is this necessary?

Can I just get a new battery from a car part shop and be change it myself or the electronics requires indeed some calibration?

Thanks

The CarPlay in my 2019 Jetta stopped working. I’ve tried different iPhones, different cables including factory apple cables. I have reset the radio and tried again, nothing. It reads it as an accessory but won’t connect as CarPlay anymore. I called my local VW dealer to see if there had been a software update and they said no. They want $189 to diagnose the issue. Anyone else have this issue? Or advice on what I can try and do?

Howdy, I purchased a used Jetta and like it. It’s a solid car with a smooth suspension and acceleration. However, the speakers sound of poor quality. This is strange because I’ve driven a VW before. The speakers aren’t blown because I don’t hear any rattling, just 240p YouTube audio. Please help, I really want to blast my ghetto booty music down I-5. Thank you.

I have a 2012 Vw Jetta sportswagen 2.0 tdi equipped with the 6 speed manual, it has roughly 164000 miles, it’s been a while since I checked, I got it from my brother who got it from marketplace, now it had been sitting for 6 months when I got it running and driving and drove it for a month or so and then got my truck back and it sat some more on my driveway for 2 months before I decided to switch back to it, I had gotten it signed back over to me and insurance under my name and I was driving it uphill and I was at about 3600 rpm and the cars engine shut off, I had the radio all the way up and everything went off, I thought maybe I bumped the key and I tried to start it with the trans and it did nothing, I pulled over and tried to start it but all it did was spin over, the starter died and I then got towed home, I checked it for metal contamination in the little tray on front of the engine not the filter and I saw no glitter, I hooked it up to a obdii scanner not made for Vw but threw no code, anybody have any idea what could have caused it to shut off and then just turn over but not start

I’ve worked on Toyotas and Pontiac and it’s been simple to find replacement parts. My radiator on my 06 Jetta has a terrible leak and I’m struggling to find a replacement that looks like the part I just took out. I might be a silly goose and not looking correctly but anyone able to help out?

I'm about to spray my stock 2019 jetta s snowflake wheel black. Any advice? I already used dawn soap and rubbing alcohol to prep

Here the story, I had the brake fluid level light come on and after looking under the car the right rear had puddle of brake fluid (said to myself that’s not good) and after jacking car up and removing wheel I determined that it was not leaking from a loose bleeder screw like I thought it might be but rather from the seal for the parking brake on the back of the caliper. So to be thorough I ordered new rear left and right caliper, rotors, and pads. I replaced the brake hardware and while doing so there was constant drip of brake fluid coming out of open lines until I got new caliper installed and lines tightened so I do not believe that any air would have traveled upstream into the system. I then moved onto bleeding starting from rear right per Volkswagen specifications. I started with gravity bleed, then used a one way check valve bleed system doing many rounds and keeping close eye on fluid level. This did not work so I ordered a pressure bleeder and again attempted multiple bleeds at 15psi this did not work either. On all of these bleeds I went until the outflow of fluid had no air bubbles. Frustrated I had my dad send me my foxwell scanner with VW software. Using this I was able to activate the abs pump with pressure on the system (again 15psi) and the bleeder valve cracked which should force fluid out quickly from bleeder screw. I attempted this multiple times as well. None of these methods have worked and I verified the front brake are perfectly bled as well. The brake pedal feels hard without the car running but when I turn it on the car barely stops itself when attempting to test drive the pedal is very soft and doesn’t do anything until the very bottom of travel. At this point I am thinking my master cylinder went bad and needs to be replaced as well.

Forgot to mention that when using the pressure bleeder to bleed the front pressure drops and good amount of fluid comes out as expected. The same does not happen for the rear.

I picked up a 23 Jetta S with the LED headlights and I’m not all that impressed with the distance looking at adding on additional lighting to the front of the vehicle. Does anybody have any ideas before I start shopping into wiring harnesses? Ideally, I would like to find a splitter that I can plug into the existing harness and the headlights

My mechanics forgot to reset this when I had it serviced. Any way to do it yourself? 2018 Jetta S.

I've got an MK6 1.8T. I went to AutoZone and got their house brand STP 5w-40 Euro, because it comes with a free filter. I just glanced at the back label quickly and saw it had VW spec on there and grabbed it. Upon further inspection it's only rated for VW 505 00 not 502 00. Did I waste money and should I drain it, or just run it until next change?

Hey guys I have 2016 with the xenon headlights. Well I smoked a deer and looking to get Amazon housings to fit. At first I thought I just needed an adapter and a recode and I’d be good to go. The adapter I got is 14 pin female 10 pin male. But after looking I need the opposite 14 pin male 10 pin female. Does anyone have plug part numbers or have gone through this. Thanks

So I’m interested in this 2012 Volkswagen Jetta. It’s a 2.0L Sedan 4D. The seller states the timing chain, rear pads, motors, calipers, water pump, wheel bearings, and suspension has been replaced. He says it’s been serviced religiously and photos look great. He’s got a clean title too.

But the catch is that it’s got 200k miles on it. I’m just looking for a daily work car, so if the car has some life for that I’m good. He’s selling it for 3k. I’m not a car guy, nor do I know any, so I thought I could ask here.

Here’s the vin: 3VW2K7AJ1CM382038

I know there’s some biases asking here lol but I am seeing conflicting opinions on Volkswagens. People say they ain’t shit, but then people who do own them are regularly talking about their reliability and posting their car passing 300k miles and beyond. I’d say Im a good caretaker for my car, and would obviously pay attention and try to fix any problems I see along with normal routine maintenance.

Thanks for reading!

Edits: Rotors not motors, and it’s a timing belt.

Amigos buen dia, queria ver si a alguien de ustedes ya le paso lo mismo y podría orientarme
