So I was getting p0101 and pulled the maf sensor out and there was this weird hair stuff on it so I cleaned it. I cleared the codes and now 12 miles later a check engine light came on and it was that code again but with a p0068. Car feels a little sluggish but no rough idle or anything ..read more

Travel Assist is currently not available even after a new steering wheel
VW Vortex
by randomburners
2h ago
I keep getting the Travel Assist is currently not available chime. I had the steering wheel replaced and it seemed to fix the issue for a while and now it's happening to me again. It's not as bad as it was in the past but it's still happening. I noticed that if I drive by only grabbing the wheel at the 12:00 position it goes away completely. This issue seems to be aggravated by driving spiritedly and turning sharply in parking lots. I also have had it chime when accelerating fast. I can't...

Do I need a new turbo on my 2.0 TSI Passat?

Hey friends, Was driving my 2010 Passat with 129K and got check engine. Scanned it and got a P0229 Turbo underboost code. There was a VW dealership half a mile away so I dropped it off to get diagnosed. They found the diverter valve is torn in the rubber part and needs replacing. Quoted $680.86 for that pre tax and not including the ridiculously high diagnostic fee. They also put this however: "The Waste gate roller pin gap is smaller than 3mm indicating the roll pin has moved in, this... Do I need a new turbo on my 2.0 TSI Passat ..read more

Hey gear heads, well cheap girl here. Yes yes I won’t be cheap no more. So I ended up taking out the Amazon fuel injectors I bought (well AAMCO did) and replaced them with ones I got from auto zone at a really good shop price and wouldn’t you know it it fired right up. Drives like a bat out of hell. I still have the long crank and the check engine light on for that P0016 code but just getting the other done ended up costing me $525. So if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I’m leaving it alone... ITS ALIVE OMG ITS ALIVE ..read more

2012 Tiguan Steering Wheel Locked when starting? HELP PLEASE!
VW Vortex
by Derpyfoot
3h ago
This has been going on for a few months. Basically when I go to start the car it's about a 50/50 chance the steering wheel is locked/Power steering off (I can still turn the wheel, but it's very difficult). After watching youtube I found a way to "unlock" it by turning the ignition off, turning the wheel to either side, as far as it can go, keeping the pressure on, turn the ignition on. Or turn the wheel quickly side to side when starting the ignition. This has worked, but it can take either... 2012 Tiguan Steering Wheel Locked when starting? HELP PLEASE ..read more

Can you point to a hoisting location for a hydraulic floor jack and another for a jack stand?
VW Vortex
by Theo G
4h ago
As we all know, it's not a good idea to hoist your car using just a hydraulic floor jack. You need the support of a jack stand. This is particularly the case if you intend to slide (yourself) under the car. But where do you find two locations, for each of the four wheels? The base of jack stands is usually so wide that the hydraulic floor jack cannot be nearby. Ideally, please show us over an image (and rub it in if you're among the lucky ones who have a more serious jack at home)...
