Now, when its night time and I turn the regular night time lights on and it works perfect. Just curious if there is a cure for this.


My ECU Upgrade question, is....how dangerous to my motor is it to Upgrade my ECU using this method (see link below) to my 2010 Jetta Turbo. Any input would be great.

Thanks...

Just purchased my first golf. It is a 55 plate 2.0 TDI 140 4motion. 53k and FSH.

When i the engine is accelerating and de-accelerating i hear a small like siren noise coming from the car. The car runs perfect but this noise is starting to irritate me. Do i have a major problem here?? Have any of you experienced this or know what's causing this?

Thanks in advance

The dealership tried the bluetooth they installed with an iphone 3g{ not 3gs } and with blackberry and it worked. i contacted apple who did a restore on the phone , then the bluetooth worked well. however when I sync the iphone to download my apps and then go to the car the bluetooth doesn't work.
so it only works with the phone back to factory setting only. The dealership is trying to investigate the issue but no answer yet.
Has anybody heard about such a problem between iphone 3gs and the new 2010 golf/jetta sportswagen bluetooth.Kindly advice. ]]> MK5 mudaffer http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f29/vw-golf-sportswagen-tdi-bluetooth-39156/ http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f29/any-hacks-2010-touch-screen-computer-39149/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:11:54 GMT I'm a computer geek and just bought a 2010 jetta sportwagen TDI for my wife.

I have the touch screen in the console with mp3 player etc... but not the one with GPS.

Are they the same unit with features simply disabled? Any codes out there to enable hidden features or get access to car parameters like the doors locking?

I know most US car makers who do the stupid door locking for you have hidden options in the computer to disable the annoying feature.

I dont know much about VW, or Jettas and have been wanting to keep mine very classy looking, but definitely look more aggressive... I was thinking about buying the eyelids for the headlights, and this rear window spoiler.




What are your opinions? I don't want to put a trunk lid spoiler, and keep everything clean and simple, but still custom, my own...

I'm doing all audio now, new speakers, sub, tweeters, then eventually wanting to get wheels as well. On my old car, I put 18's on it, lowered it 2" and had to have rubber band tires. I do NOT want rubber bands. So I was thinking maybe drop the car an inch, and put 17's or 18's on it, but will that prevent me from having a standard width tire? Or if you put bigger wheels on does it still look pretty aggressive without lowering it?

Thanks for any input guys! ]]> MK5 ied0135 http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f29/new-jetta-owner-opinions-advice-39141/ http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f29/2010-jetta-tdi-sportwagen-warning-light-39065/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:16:11 GMT We've just bought a 2010 Jetta 2010 sportwagen (on Sunday, in fact), and on Monday the 'Malfunction Indicator Lamp' was illuminated on the dashboard.

We've taken it back to the dealer, and he reset the panel, but now it's just come on again (this is Thursday). We're going to have to take it back again, and were wondering if anyone else is seeing this, whether it's a common occurrence, or ought we be concerned ?

The service rep told us he's only ever seen the light happen twice in a year, and since we've now seen it twice in a few days, we're hoping we haven't bought a lemon.

Anyone got one of these cars, and can soothe our troubled brow ? Any and all help gratefully appreciated.

Also, since the dealer we bought it from doesn't have a service dept. open on Saturday, it's ok to take the car to one (closer :)) that does, right ? Just checking :)

I remember when I had my '01 New Beetle Sport, there were issues with putting in a drop-in K&N filter cartridge and having the Mass Air-Flow Sensor going off and having to be reset. I could be remembering it wrong, and if I'm recalling correctly, it could have been only an issue with the turbocharged engines.

Would I be ok to put a K&N drop-in cartridge filter in my 2010 (non-GTI) Golf? No issues or problems? Any noticeable hp or mileage gain for those of you with the same 2.5L/5cyl engine?

Thanks again for your help, and best to all!

I purchased my third new VW today, having owned a 1995 Jetta III, and a 2001 Beetle Sport. Today I purchased a 2010 Golf, and I am very, very impressed with the 2.5 liter, 5cyl engine's power-vs.-fuel-efficiency ratio, and the overall feel of the car on the road. I got the 5 speed, and after having driven an automatic 2004 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for the past few years, it feels GREAT, I mean GREAT to have a 5-speed manual with some git-up-and-go once again.

My question is this... My dealership claims that there is little to no undercarriage protection on VW's out of the box, and they want to sell me a paint-sealer/undercarriage protection/upolstery protection package for around $600. I have until the end of the month to purchase it. Is it true that there's no undercarriage protection out of the box? Should I consider this add-on protection?

Thanks again, and I'd love to be able to apply the $600 toward some allow wheels instead! Best to all.

I am new to this forum and tried searching for the topic of my problem but couldn't find anything. It's probably me so if you know where it is, I could use some help.

My wife's '05 Golf TDI has usually been ideling around 750 rpm but a few weeks ago it jumped up to about 1100 rpm. This weekend I'm going to change oil and filter as well as both air filters just to eliminate that possible cause and it is time anyway.

I'm thinking it may be a Mass Airflow Sensor or an O2 sensor but don't know how to make sure that is it. Has anyone here had a similar issue? If so how was it resolved. There are no engine code lights at all just the high idle. Does it take a computer to definitively isolate a sensor as the problem? I don't want to just replace parts and see if that's it.

Thanks for any and all help!

Whats the difference between stage 1 intakes and stage 2 intakes....
