Most Common Repairs
All autos need repair from time to time, but some are more dominant than others. The best way to avoid costly repairs is by keeping up with routine preventive maintenance service visits for basic repairs and maintenance. For Volkswagen owners, five issues appear more often than others.
One of these is a safety concern, so we’ll discuss it first. If your airbag malfunction warning lamp illuminates, don’t delay checking your car. While we certainly hope you’re not involved in a crash, you need to know that your airbags are in proper working order and will deploy in an emergency. When the airbag and indicator is a problem, it often presents itself near the 100,000-mile mark.
Another light that may get your attention is the check engine warning. This is not an emergency, and you can drive your Volkswagen to reach our shop. We can obtain a trouble code using our OBD-II reader and our expertise to pinpoint the exact problem so that we can fix it for you. This may be as simple as a loose gas cap or as complex as a part that needs replacing.
Like the airbag indicator, the wiring harness sometimes goes bad after about 100,000 miles of driving. This occurs more frequently in the Jetta than in other models.
Coil failure, too, can be an issue, especially in Passats that have reached 75,000 miles. If you suspect a problem, let us address it before discovering that your auto won’t start.
Finally, resist the temptation to stretch out your time between oil changes. Follow the recommended service pattern. This is best practice because oil sludge buildup makes the list of most common reasons Volkswagen owners seek car repair. Allowing the oil to lose its properties and form sludge multiple times can trigger this problem, typically between 70,000 and 90,000 miles.
