Mk5 Golf/Jetta Problem Registry

[adrian112]

got the car back last week.

Nick the service manager told me it was dramas with the boost sensor and wiring harness which was repaired and fixed under warranty. Car was sorted within a day.

any one else have dramas with these components?

didnt think the coil packs had anything to do with the DPF? maybe im just noob hehe....

Nick isn't the service manager. Jason the bald guy in the glass office is

Ah well at least it happened under warranty.
How do you find your weitecs? They are made by KW no?

Oh true he is the "service advisor". yeah to vw/dealers credit most of the dramas i have had with the car get sorted out straight away through warranty so thats good.

Yeah the Weitecs arent bad and they are indeed made by KW, they are pretty much KW V1's using cheaper galvanised steel materials as opposed to stainless steel. Sourced and installed by Dragan @ Inmotive

Yeah Nick's a good guy. Mark's a bit keen but good nonetheless.

Well I would be keen to see the ride height on your car sometime. Don't see you round the traps (the hills)

Brand new air-conditioner is blowing hot air. I wonder what the record is for the life of a VW air-conditioner, mines only been in the car 1 month.

I did (see my post 3 before yours) but mine is a TSI. VW must have got a batch of short harnesses...

I had a really annoying squeak in my 08 R32 towards the rear when ever going over any small bumps on the road....found it was the rear seats making the noise where it locks in from folding down....open and slammed them shut quite hard, nothing since

Well nothing serious (apart from the original crackly radio issue which i'm over now that i've got my Aux input ..

I've got auto locking activated. But when I go over the speed to lock, it'll lock then unlock straight away.. Then when I pull up at say an intersection or something and drive away, it'll lock as per usual. This can keep happening over and over until I open and close the door where it'll usually sort out the issue.

Another problem is when I turn the car off but leave the key in the ignition, my radio will turn off (the opposite of what it's supposed to do). Then about 15 mins later it'll come on!! Scared the crap outta me the first time as I was home alone and didn't remember inviting Lily Allen over..

Anyone walked down to their car and found all the windows open but the car locked?

Key hasn't been anywhere near it to activate the keyfob window roll down thingy it can do (as in, through multiple layers of concrete).

Very odd indeed.

Could be a short in the key that sets the roll down on, but then the doors relock themselves once no one opens them?
