Top 10 Volkswagen Repair Issues

Each Volkswagen has its own personality, strengths and weaknesses. And while VW comes pretty close to perfect, we’ve become experts in making some of the most common and easily identifiable VW repairs. Read on.

1. Engine oil sludge – a common issue is when oil sludge builds up, which usually happens between 70,000 and 90,000 miles. Regular oil changes help to prevent this from happening.
2. Power window fails to go up or down – this is usually the result of a failed window regulator which will need to be replaced.
3. Head lights – head lights may malfunction as a result of premature head light bulb burnout and or bulb harness failure.
4. Shifting problems with automatic transmissions – high mileage automatic transmissions occasionally need to be replaced.
5. Decreased power and fuel economy – direct injection engines are subject to carbon buildup in the intake system which may result in loss of power, a check engine light, and a rough idle. Cleaning of the intake manifold and ports on the cylinder head and intake valves may fix the issue.
6. Engine misfire – an ignition coil or spark plug may unexpectedly fail to work, resulting in an engine misfire.
7. Coolant leaks – the water pump can develop a coolant leak.
8. Oil leaks – oil leaking from the valve cover gasket is not uncommon.
9. Check engine light on and drivability issues – mass air flow sensor can fail, resulting in the OBD (on board diagnoses) to throw a code.
10. No start or stalling – this may be caused form a fuel pump failure.

Volkswagen Repair Costs: VW repairs can be costly to fix. We help you cut costs by prioritizing repairs that need immediate attention versus ones that can wait, by sourcing the best parts for the money and by providing the best mechanics to work on your car. That’s what makes our pricing so competitive.

Volkswagen Parts: We generally use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts ONLY if they are cost-efficient. Otherwise, we’ll source an equally durable aftermarket part.
