I had some stuff done, added a couple of things, and washed my 2010 MK6 Golf TDI (manual) with 205K miles. New windshield - OEM VW from Safelite - replaced severely pitted original windshield after 200K+ miles It feels very good driving my clean car with the new bits!
Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.
I mean, my 68 bug was drove everyday for 10 years, parked for 20 then put in a new carb and is driving like a champ.
The new cylinder head fixed the smoking, I haven't had any issues since.
I also am getting my cylinder head replaced under warranty for a 2020 GLI due to the smoke on startup. I had my PCV valve replaced around 14k miles, then did the valve stem seals and both worked for only a few thousand miles. Now the dealership wants to replace the head.
I also have 2017 Tiguan with 160,000 km. Just had mechanic check it as I heard rattling on startup and they recommended replacement.
I could smell coolant when my car was 6 months old. I was losing about 8 ounces a year. VW agreed to fix the water pump under warranty but I decided to wait. Five years later it hasn't gotten any worse.
I've got an essentially new Golf R only about 3 months old and I think my battery is no good. I keep it connected to a battery tender as I dont'drive it often. Even after a week of being connected it never reaches full charge. Also, After I discomnect I put a quick load on it by turning on the lights in order to remove the surface charge from the battery tendder. Prior to putting the load on and just after disconnecting the battery tender the rading is 12.8Votls. After putting the load on by turning on the lights for a minute the voltage reading then drops to 12.28 which seems awfully load. I'm assuming my battery is no good.
Spent 300 on an alternator to get the whole car apart just to find out it was the wrong one
2021 VW Passat SE, My oil pan cracked a few weeks ago blamed it on my son hitting something. I had it replaced at a local repair spot as it’s no longer under warranty. I drove it for a week or so and notice major oil leak again, took back to my repair guy, oil pan cracked again in same spot.
