Volkswagen Sharan Club

Hi all, New to this forum so apologies if this has been asked before. Just purchased a 2016 Sharan 150 Nav. Tried to connect my phone to use the Appleplay feature through App-Connect only to find out it needs an activation code from my local VW dealer. I phoned them and was told it would cost £250 for this code which seems to be quite an expensive option. Does this sound about right? Has anyone managed to do this without having to use a main dealer? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everyone, I am thinking of buying a 2014 model which has sports seats (SEL Tech ). What does that mean exactly, are they firmer than normal seats? Do they have lumber support adjustment? Also how do you know if the car has adaptive suspension? Thanks for any advice on these subjects or anything useful to know before I buy.

Evening all Has anyone upgraded the brakes on their Sharan? Does the Sharan carry over the same hubs as any other VAG stuff? I'm looking at using bigger brakes off of something within the same group rather than going for something like a big brake kit from an aftermarket manufacturer. Cheers

Evening all I've recently brought a 2005 Sharan and just wanted to know if there are any of suspension upgrades that can be done to them other than lowering springs? Are there any companies that make uprated bushes or anything? Also I'm looking to fit a set of 17inch 2005 Passat wheels to it with and ET of 37. The wheels on my car are ET59 I think. Has anyone done this to there car and is there anything I need to look out for? Cheers

I have a 2016 VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN MK2 (7N) SE TDI BLUEMOTION TECHNOLOGY DSG It seem to be stuck in less than 2000rpm. On the motor way it doesn't go beyond 30miles even with more stepping on the gas pedal. Revs are high at but speed stays the same or slower on a hill. What could be the problem? No engine lights no codes showing yet

I have just brought a VW Sharan, 2014 Diesel Automatic. The problem I have is that the vents on the driver side blows hot all the time. Even when I set the temp to 'Lo' and put the A/C on. The passenger side works perfectley. Any suggestions ? Thank you.

Since I had my owners manual for 2011 Sharan stolen by a garage I have been in need of a replacement, but I have had no luck in finding an online copy. Does anyone have a pdf or link they could share?

Can anyone help me please. I have a bag of spanners otherwise known as a 2013 VW Sharan 1.9 TDI Bluemotion I've had a horrible vibration through the steering wheel and up through the seats for ages . It started out of nowhere and now won't go away. I've replaced all 4 tyres and had them balanced and tracked. I've had the alignment done. I've had new lower suspension arms (wishbones), I've had new drive shafts (O/s & N/s), I've had new discs front and new pads all round. The steering wheel wobbles and vibrates like it's got parkinsons disease. It has moments where it's OK but get to between 60mph and 75mph, and it takes on a life of its own. I…

Hi all! I recently bought a Sharan '12 and am very happy with the car! I'm new to the forum, I would like to know how to improve the car, improve the interior, or maybe there is a list of what needs to be done immediately after purchase?

Hi there ladies and gents, I'm trying to run a microphone through the aux connection on my sharan.. it works but there is a horrible delay on the system as I think its getting processed through the onboard computer. is there any way to have another way to fit the aux... maybe direct link to a channel of some kind on the ba k of the head unit? I want to run my tablet and aux at the same time. I know I can't use Bluetooth and aux at the same time but I do have a mixed and had planned to run both through the aux. I had a 2018 caddy which looked to have the same unit and it worked fine. any help on the matter would be appreciated. maybe older version of firmware for t…

I have a 2010 sharan which has the old version of the adblue system. A while ago when I drove 30 miles or so a light came on, I had it fault read & it said addictive tank empty so I had it filled up, the light is continuing to come on despite the tank bring full & now it comes on after 9 or so miles. Do any of you know what might be the problem? thanks

My 60 reg Sharan has been back and forwards to the garage, the Adblu pump then heater were diagnosed as the issue….is my heater covered under the emissions warranty? Can anyone help?

My daughter has a 2013 Sharan ( this is her second Sharan ) and she has encountered a problem with diesel fumes in the car and depending on the weather these can be just about tolerable to intolerable. She was advised to have the ERG valve repaired which she did and the problem seemed to go away only to return in recent times. My questions are, is this problem related the the valve entirely, how much is the cost and replacement of a new one !. It is serious to the point where she wants to change the vehicle entirely when perhaps a change of valve may sort out the problem. Any advice or input is very welcome. Thank you.

Hi, I’m trying to fit an aftermarket stereo in my 2006 Sharan, but I can find the correct harness for my car. Halfords have one for a VW but the pins do not correspond with the iso in my car. Has anyone had this experience? Or found a harness that works? thanks.

Hi, all I've recently bought a 2010 Sharan 1.4 tsi. It's a Japanese import & in, apparently, great condition. I love it. . Previously I've owned an Alhambra & a Galaxy. The VW seems better than both though a more recent model. I want to replace the head unit/ infotainment system as the original unit has been removed by the dealer, I'm guessin, & replaced with a cheapie android 9" unit. This is ok but not as easy to use as previous systems I've owned. Also the sound similarly isn't as good. Question being; do I try to buy a VW system similar to the factory fitted one, (RNS 510 or better), or something like a pioneer head unit? I like to play CD's oc…

Hi, I've just bought a 2003 Sharan and was curious as to which other vw platform shares the same suspension. Thankyou.

I was driving last night on a 20mph zone and all of a sudden without warning, the engine of my vw sharan 2016 model shut down. I tried starting it several times, but without success, no noise whatsoever, no cranking, dead silent. After several attempts to start the engine without success, I had to take the car home on a breakdown recovery truck. In addition, the car has a problem of dpf filter showing amber light in the dashboard and the battery is a new one, just two weeks old. What might be the cause?

The central locking on my Sharan 04 plate has stopped working. The drivers door is stuck in the locked position while all other doors will not lock with the fob. Meanwhile the mechanism sounds like its whirring and the hazard lights flash continually. I am having to disconnect the battery so it doesn't drain, and also so that the car is disabled considering I cannot lock it securely. Any ideas as to the root if this problem please?

I am looking for an airbag squib with part number 95VW14A664AA for the 1998 Sharan petrol 1.8T 20v. Tried all the usual places and eBay. Found a part in Lithuania which when fitted activated the horn. Clearly not desirable. Vehicle okay otherwise. Any tips?

Hello. I have a sharan year 2013. I upgraded the towbar and 13 pin electricity. I'm wondering how I should connect it so that my car electronics would detect my trailer and consequently turn off my sensors. Thank you and best regards.
