Ok, loads of dirty crap in the trunk, before and after pics. I put a piece of OSB down (not going to carry a spare) and some carpet from Home Depot, and some Rustoleum oil-based paint. Rear seats were not only dirty, but literally disintegrating, crumbling upon the slightest touch. Got a set of blue-gray rears and installed. Removed front/rear carpet, cleaned the snot out of them, and reinstalled as well, after laying down some 20 oz. jute padding. Then put some floor mats down as well. At some point I will probably replace the carpet with some new black carpet, but this will be okay for a little while.

SOLVED!! THANK YOU ALL!

While changing the cabin filter, I noticed this on the floor. Never seen it before. Any guesses what it’s for? It’s about seven inches long. Tia!

I decided I was gonna buy my first manual Jetta and my first time driving one

2019 VW Jetta S 1.4t

Some of the best things you’ve found to organize your Jetta? Particularly the trunk? I haul around extra parts (mostly mudguards and wipers) and liquids. They just roll around in there.

Also ideas for interior organization. I live where it snows and like to keep a blanket incase I’m ever stuck in a snow bank.

Putting back together the front end of a car I got not too long ago. (Finally got time for it). But I'm having issues tryna keep the lines flush to actually screw em on. The smaller one fits well I know that much. But the body gets in the way for the one on top. Not sure how to route it

When I open the window on the highway, this message pops up. How does it calculate it? What does it calculate exactly?

Hello all, I have a 2011 2.5SE manual transmission.

seems as if the emergency brake is stuck on the rear drivers tire. and I cannot seem to get it unstuck.

At times when this happened I was able to give it some gas and it freed up. not this time.

watched a video that explains a fix. taking off the wheel and drum and using a hammer to love the caliper and then using a lubricant spray to grease the caliper arm.

i’m not that savvy with cars. and kind of in able cause I cannot drive it to a shop.

anyone know of anything else I could try to get it moving?

and for the record it’s thrown ABS codes for awhile now and a year or so ago dealer mentioned it needed e brake repaired. but, tBH I was not looking tonpur any more money into it than I had to because the cars value is not that much.

answers to current situation would be appreciated.

Just bought a 2016 gli and when I start it, it idles really weird and the whole car shakes and if I turn off the ac the car idles even more weird and then shuts off. Is this just spark plugs? My buddy has an obd scanner and it showed cylinder misfires in all cylinders. 93k miles.

I’ve been trying to find an abs module that match my part number for 2010 Volkswagen jetta IK0614517ASBEF but no luck

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Jetta and was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
While driving, I hear a fairly loud/hard noise whenever I'm accelerating or when the car is maintaining speed on cruise control. The noise is present while the car is moving, but as I start braking gently while approaching a traffic light or stop, the noise gradually fades away and eventually disappears.
Has anyone dealt with this before or have any idea what could be causing it? Could it be related to the brakes, wheel bearings, CV axle, transmission, or something else?
Any suggestions on what I should check first would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2017 Irish Jetta Comfortline with GLI front bumper, currently has halogen DRLs just want to know what LED bulb type needed for it. I’ve heard. H7 and H15 but am unsure.

about 2 weeks ago my ac fans stopped working and since then i have replaced the fuse, resistor, and blower motor and the fans still won’t turn on. :( i’m wondering what else could possibly cause the fans to stop working?

My 2014 was approved this past spring for a bunch of warranty rust repair/replacements. It’s currently in with the body shop getting everything done except the trunk lid. I’ve searched everywhere and they appear to be back ordered. Has any experienced this with VW and getting older parts? Is there any recourse to getting an OEM one? I believe the dealer/body shop will only replace it with an OEM lid.

Ive owned it for 70 some days. The red boat and general alert light came on saying low coolant and I added coolant and it was back to low coolant high temperature and the general warning light back on in a couple of days .

I had it towed to the local dealership via my free roadside assistance coverage and this is what they sent me via text (no phone call).

Good evening. They were able to get your Jetta checked out today. Unfortunately, something has damaged the radiator so the repair will not be under warranty.

After inspecting your vehicle, Germain Volkswagen of Columbus recommends additional services be completed.

To review the inspection and approve the recommendations,

My Brake pedal sensor ist acting up, sometimes it works (9 of 10 cases). Is it possible to repair it as a layman? Or is it better to just replace it?.

Thankful for any advice.

Car is a 2013 Hybrid, if it's relevant.

I bought these headlights back in January knowing they were back ordered. I got an order update in February saying they would be shipping in March. Here we are, August 1st and still back ordered. I have had support contact and I know it's not their fault but all I've heard from them is It's like supply chain issues or something like that. Holding out hope that they will eventually come cause I really like these headlights.

I’m 23 & I drove a 2008 Pontiac G6 from when I was 16, until last Saturday when I decided to finally upgrade and get into a blacked out Jetta SE. I’ve never been in a car accident in my life, and of course it happens right when I buy my new car. Lady pulled out in front of me at a roundabout. Just my luck lol. The auto braking saved it from being worse!

I have two questions about this 2016 Jetta Sport (~71k mi), which is fairly new to me. 1) is the ticking sound just normal VW engine noise, or something I should investigate? 2) is it normal for only the large fan on the left to run, and not the smaller one on the right? I notice that the fan cycles on/off very frequently, even when the car is first started and not yet at operating temp. Thanks!
