Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Brake booster warning light

    So I get a chime, and the brake booster warning light comes on. Only 60,000ks over 3 1/2 years so that seems odd. The warning also applies to low brake fluid, so I took it to the dealer to get it checked. Nope, not brake fluid level, so it must be the booster. Duttons put it through as a goodwill claim.

    They get the booster in, arrange a free loan car, and I drop off the Jetta.

    That was a week ago, they now think it must be an ABS module, none available and on back order.

    While frustrating (the loan car is a Cruze, as a competitor for the Jetta I can't get over how much worse it is) I'm glad that I'm getting a free mloan car and VW is processing it as a goodwill claim, I'm 5,000 ks and 8 months out of warranty.

    Given the Jetta is a bit of a Golf VI/ VII hybrid, has anyone else had brake booster issues?

    Replace the ABS.

    Warning still displays.

    Now VW think the wiring loom is at fault.

    Glad this is warranty, retail on a wiring loom is over 11 grand.
