    Hey, Good day. I have a problem with my new beetles 2001 2.0 l engine.. Automatic transmission.. For the past 2 weeks whenever I go on a long way of 140 km/hr Start observing a very rough down shift and I got weird about this issue and stopped aside and then went back to continue my way but unfortunately the gear doesn't shift up to 2 moreover the the rpm reaches to 4 & 5 without shifting.. So to solve this issue temporary i have to stop the car remove the key and then start it again.. Is there any solution for my vw beetles.?? inbound1294769119114741967.mp4

    Hello. I've a water leak in boot of my new shape 2011 sharan. I've stripped the boot out but can't trace the source. Water builds up in the box section where the boot lock latches onto and eventually, over time, the water spills out of 4 or so holes towards the underside of the box section and pours into the boot. I've checked the rear vents behind the bumper but these sit lower than the box section and as far as I can tell the water still builds up when the car has been left for a while so I dont think any water that may be getting through the vents is cascading up and over into the box section. I've also had new rear number plate lights sealed and fitted. Any suggestio…

It says it will fit 2008-2015 Hopefully someone can help Thanks Stevie

    In the last couple of weeks my Golf Plus TDi has developed a strange battery drain issue. If I leave the car unlocked overnight it starts fine the following morning. If I lock it at night it’s totally flat the following morning. Anyone else experienced this or know a likely fix? TIA Stuart

    Hi, I have a VW Caddy transformed to carry a disable person at the rear, I understand the car was lowered to be able to be transformed, but as now is a bit low, every time I pass over a "street hump" the chassis is touching the tarmac, I heard that I could fit "Suspension Air Kit" so I come to you guys to if this would be a solution to increase the gap between the chassis and the road surface and if so which ones should I get? Thanks for the attention

    Of those of you who have chosen to get your own VAG Com tool/s which make/brand did you invest in and has it proved to be a good investment.. thanks..

    I have a 2007 Touran which came with (2nd hand) a multifunctional steering wheel with the paddles for the DGS gearbox and it all works very fun.. but I think it is looking in need of replacement to clean things up a bit - so my question is, from which other newer VW can I get a replacemnt.. my local VW say they do not know as all they would do is replace it with an original wheel.. I really like the look of the new VW Golf R steering wheel though my car has the cruise control on the left hand stalk..

  25. Hello guys, I need some help, I have VW Passat 2006 1.9 TDI. 1. I am planning to upgrade current steering wheel for multifuncional (see pics wheel1 and wheel2). Do I need any modules for that? Any guide? 2. Also I am wondering if can replace heat control unit for newer one? See pics (unit 1 and unit2) Please don't ask why I didn't get a model with all the things above, I got this car from my friend for free ;) Cheers!
