When we go camping in our VW Passat, 2018 wagon, we settle in for the night in the back, and sometimes listen to a film score. If the ignition is left on, outside lights stay on, so I turn the ignition off to ensure the battery doesn't drain as much. The sound stays on – but only for about 30 minutes....

Has anyone fitted a better horn to the ROC? Perhaps a louder one from another VAG vehicle is better? I find the weak sound a trifle embarrasing for the R.

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

Yet another VW driver! Recently purchased an 'old girl' 2010 Passat CC with the 3.6 V6 - not the R36 alas. But what can I say - still love the way she drives. Had the Diesel 2009 CC and after a few months I found this baby with very low Km - 88K on the clock! How could I say no....

Hi all,

There is a slight but noticeable electrical buzzing sound coming from the engine bay when in 2nd & 3rd gear.

Any idea what this could be?

Our new VW Tiguan Elegance was booked in for a complimentary first service at the selling dealer recently. The service was really just a general check over. When the vehicle was dropped off, we explicitly asked for a wind rush sound coming from the centre of the dash at speeds over 75kph plus be investigated....

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any idea what could be causing this sound + if it is worth taking it to the dealer to assess further. So far, I have brought this up at the 1st service and the dealer did not seem to know what could be the cause (granted they got around to it at the end of the day and...

Hi all,

These need replacing on my 2017 Golf Alltrack.

Wondering what these usually cost?

The place I'm at are charging $440 each (amongst other things). Does that sound right?

Seems rather pricey but I have no idea really.

We have a 2009 9N3 with the 1600 petrol engine and 6 speed DSG gearbox.

The engine has an intermittent ticking sound in the top of the engine that sounds like a loose tappet.

The sound is not always there but is there most of the time.

Any thoughts as to what is...

Hi all,

Just recently my AC stopped cooling. This is the Core 4x4 model so it does not have full climate control, just simple AC.
I have checked the ODB2 interface and it does not show any errors so I am guessing that the sensors are OK.
I have recently changed the cabin filter....

Hi,

This probably should be in the audiophile section of the website but I'm not looking for turning the car's audio system into a setup that ends up costing $1000s and $1000s and I'm hoping some more learnered members of the forum could weight in with some reasonable options

So my qeustion is, flash tuning.

I recently purchased a 2009 mk5 gti that supposedly had a stage 2 tune ( unknown what brand/software) and crackle map, it didn’t seem to crackly to me so I took it to my local tuning shop to get them to out a crackle map on it and now it actually sounds...

Hi all,

Started getting this snapping sound coming from the Tig. After it first happened, it happened a few times until I got home (3 minute drive). Then I took it out for a drive to check and it happened quite frequently when both turning and going straight. Sounds like something getting...

I find the speakers in the MK7 Golf R to be very average, but ok for a factory system.

I want a budget friendly upgrade option for better sound, so looking at the Focal IS155 components. Any one have these and how do they sound?

Trying to avoid going aftermarket if possible...

Does anyone know how many watts per channel the stock sound system in a Passat puts out?
Also the brand and type of speakers?
Cheers

Hi, I drive a 2014 Tiguan 132 TSI Pacific, and recently while driving at low speed (50-60kmh) a sudden high speed spinning/grating sound for approx 3/4 second happens under bonnet. It is as though a high speed flywheel is not gripping momentarily..hard to explain. Happened several times, there’s no...
