I know the scissor style window regulators that older VWs had could get bound up and skip some teeth on the window motor to regulator gearset which would cause strange things like that, but I thought they all had slider and cable style regulators now It does it all the time now. It'll go up and down all the way fine just opposite of the way the other switches do. I'll try that re-learning process on my next day off and see what happens.

I have a 2007 GTI. It has a misfire around 3.5k rpm. It's trivial to reproduce it driving up a hill, and not at all hard to just accelerating hard in general. The coils have just been replaced last month after one went terribly bad, but this issue was identical before and after. The thing is, I've never gotten it to misfire in sport mode. Any ideas?

Try changing the plugs? Have you looked at a VAG tool to see if it's logging any misfires?

I guess I should also say that while it's happening the check engine light flashes as well. If I continue to accelerate it will eventually turn solid, but if I let off it will just turn off.

If I continue to accelerate it will eventually turn solid, but if I let off it will just turn off. I'm not sure of when or what engines, but a lot of VAG cars had a coilpack harness replacement as part of the coilpack recall because the loving things were melting- my A4 had the coils and harness done in '12, but it didn't stop two of the coils from making GBS threads themselves a few months back. Probably worth a look next, if the plugs and packs check out, any VAG dealer can check on the system to see what recall work has been done. I would probably assume that if you can't get it to misfire at all in sport mode then its something related to that, but I would check out the harness first. For my own question- anyone have any experience dealing with the 12 year corrosion warranty?

Misfires are a common trait of the cam chewing up your fuel pump.

Motronic posted:Yeah. Run away. Well as usual I went against all good advice. Pulled the head and the gasket was popped between a cylinder and coolant port. Head checked out good, just barely needed a valve job but I figured may as well. After a few weeks of reassemble, cuss, disassemble, reassemble I fired it up yesterday. Everything works! Temps are good, power is utterly insane, tranny is butter smooth after you get out of the dog cut 1-2. Still reading over autronic sm4 fuel injection, if anyone is an expert I have a few questions. So yeah, 820 awhp in a b5 avant. Pretty pumped.

I have a B8 S4 with about 50k miles, and the mechanic who did my brakes mentioned that the upper control arms on both sides need to be replaced because the bushings have failed. Apparently this is a common Audi issue? This is a pretty pricey job; are the OEM parts the best replacement, or is there something more durable I could swap in? This is my daily driver, so no need for any race-y bits really.

Plus there are lots of vr6 resources out there and I have a trusted mechanic if I can't figure it out. But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if I found a way to break it, I'm not too worried though.

Anybody ever dealt with VWOA regarding out of warranty repairs? My 8 month old catalytic converter(replaced under warranty by the dealer) has failed. Completely. Pipe broke off at the weld. Dealer says they can cover it because it's been too many miles but that it was clearly a defective part and gave me the Hq #. What is the likelihood that they fix this?

I had the exact same thing happen to me, cat replaced under the required 75k warranty for them, flexpipe broke off the new one about 10k later and they replaced that too under parts warranty. Maybe your dealer just sucks?

Precision 6766 ball bearing. Pushing 39psi on the current tune. It does make a lovely noise under boost  Also, spent some time poking around autronic, adapted the TPS to try and take care of a hunting idle. I'm super impressed with autronic after using vag-com in the past. It's crazy the amount of customization you can do. WOT shift, launch control, anti-lag...this is gonna be fun.

If they don't give you the answer you're looking for ask for some one higher up to review it. I had my entire engine replaced out of warranty once it was deemed to be a manufacturing defect on the crankshaft that caused it to fail in the first place.

Oldskool VW chat (more like middle aged). I'm helping a good friend of mine on his 1989 Golf 1.8. It developed low end power issues and bad fuel economy. I went over it yesterday and found Cyl 1 had a stuck injector. I also checked spark and found it to be weak/gold in color- which from random internet people claim that means it's due for a coil pack and TCI (ICM). Before I go having him spend $140 on parts, is there anything else I should be checking? I ohm'd the coolant temp sensor and checked all the vac lines/air filter/ect. I don't know these cars very well, but they seem rather simple.

Just got my 09 Rabbit back from the dealer (CEL came on, MAP sensor needed to be replaced) and found out I have a leaky brake vacuum pump. He said they need to remove the transmission to replace it, so the whole job runs about $1000. Does that sound about right, or should I call around my local independent shops and see if I can get a better price?

Doing a quick google the official method is dropping the transmission, although a DIY method that doesn't require it does exist. I'd call around to get quotes though.

Soooo the bone chilling cold has screwed something up in my 2012 VW Jetta. It started just fine and I got about a half mile from my house when the car went into "limp" mode and lost all of its power in the pedal. It seems to idle just fine but was running rough/diesel stank in the air. I pulled off and restarted it to see if it was just freaking out because it was -3 out but then the check engine light added itself to the mix. From looking at the behavior and weather circumstances it looks like I might have ice in my intercooler. Has anyone dealt with this? Luckily I am under 3 yrs/36k so it should be warranty work. It looks like they have a replacement intercooler they put on the car with a vent on the side but nobody knows if it helps. Apparently the 2013+ models changed designs and are all supposedly fixed.

TDI? Is it really humid + cold where you are? I haven't run into the issue solely because its not very humid out here. Got 37k and counting on the Golf and no intercooler issues.

It looks like it turned out to NOT be that but the symptoms fit. They just called to tell me I blew my turbo on the car and they have to replace the whole thing but they don't have any loaners cars. Would it be worth it to ask for a buy bid on the car (33k miles mostly city) and see if I can get a deal on a newer model year with this going on?

I can't even imagine how long it takes to heat up that TDI for heat, even with a block heater. It was 35F here today and it took probably 10 minutes of driving to get it off the cold mark.
