Perhaps a balancing job would have sorted the issue.Rubber hardening is not related to vibration. Most cases a re-balancing of the tyres would sort the problem. Unless the tyres are very badly worn (camber wear/centre wear/feather edge wear etc) which indicates poor alignment or wrong inflation pressure maintenance. Most cases of vibration can be resolved without requiring a tyre change. Also, in the climatic condition we generally operate in, tyres can be safely used for 4 or 5 years.

I'm not so sure if it was related to balancing. Our cars get balanced regularly and none of them had this problem. Neither did our previous vehicles. Moreover, this looks like a problem with VW. This has been reported in Tiguan thread as well.

I got my Jetta Road Force Balanced today. The people working at the place suggested me to get Hub Centric Rings since the car is running on 17inch Momo Alloys. The car however has had plastic hub rings from the time it has been upgraded to 17inch wheels which is over 5-6 years. I've read on a few websites that the rings only help to mount the wheels. I have a few questions in the regard.
1) Does the hub centric ring cause vibration?
2) Metal rings can be corroded easily. Should I still upgrade to metal rings from plastic?
3) If at all they can cause vibration, is it possible for plastic rings to be deformed?

I also have MoMo alloys and have been told they are heavy - and this cause vibrations of used without rings. Not sure which rigs are these. Let me know what come out of your expedition from this exercise...

The vibration is still persisting even after Road Force. I've been told that a set of 2 hub rings will cost around 800-1000 INR.
Also, does anyone know how to individually aim the headlight beams? I know how to do both together but I want to adjust high beam only.

I've checked this thread. He mentioned the procedure to adjust both together fairly well. But to adjust each one independently is somewhat unclear. Attaching a screenshot from the same for reference.

My 75k run 2015 Jetta HL A/T gave a shocker last week.

The A/C conked off. Got it checked at an FNG with VCDS and found a leak. Fixed the leak but the A/C wasn't cooling still. Took the car to VW ASS in Whitefield, Bangalore and got the following estimate:

A/C Compressor - 1K0820808F - INR 63K
A/C Condensor - INR 19K
O Rings & Bolt - INR 500
A/C Gas 1.8K
A/C Oil 1.6K
V Belt (For abnormal engine noise) - INR 700

Apparently the compressor oil had severely degraded and possibly caused the failure. Do you guys service the A/C at a regular interval? I've changed other lubes including the DSG but seem to have missed this. An expensive lesson I suppose.

There is a gas pressure valve inside the compressor which conks of in the Jetta and Octavia at about 75000 km. In the Cruze it conks of at about 80,000. I have given a detailed report of the con that the service center guys do and how I saved about 40,000 a few ago in my chevrolet cruze. This part for the cruze including AC filling costs 4500 and about 5000 for the Jetta. It is only this part that needs replacement. You have been conned. Period. The compressor in my Cruze is now 1,82,000km old. I was, as in your case too asked to replace the compressor at the 80,000km by 6 ac engineers including that of GM. According to my AC technician the compressor will last you about 200,000km but this part will last you about 80,000 km.

Time taken to replace the part is about 20 minutes including gas filling.

You can go through my thread for details and photos too.

Hey,
I got the Hub Centric Rings. The vibration is now gone. They're perfect now. I was charged 700 per hub ring in Hyderabad at Ashoka Wheels. I got them on all 4 tyres.

[sarfraz1997]

How much does the DSG oil change cost on the Jetta including the labour and the filter? I dropped my car today. Will be getting it back tomorrow but I've noticed that Hyderabad is charging more than other cities. Hence, I'd like to know.

I faced similar issue about 3 yrs ago, and it turned out my alloys were bent. I changed them under warranty, and lived in peace for a couple of yrs. This time too, the alloys were bent - so, I changed them again, with after-market ones this time. Currently, my car is running Momo revenge 17", with Michelin PS4 225 R45, which I think is the right size (for an upgrade). However, the shakes and judders in the steering hasn't gone. I've shown it the VW guys, who seem to have no clue!

I am very frustrated with the lack of knowledge of both the tyre shop (a very famous one in NCR region), as well as VW folks - who actually blamed the tyre upgrade for a long while. The VW service folks claim that the suspension is perfectly okay (I hope they are right).

What to do now...?

Hey, I've the same alloys, Revenge 17" on my Jetta. Getting the hubrings solved my problem. However in my case, The vibration started at 100 and increased till 140. Nothing after that.

With reference to this post (Driven: The 2011 Volkswagen Passat):

Rs. 1600/- liter for the oil, total comes to around 12K +/- a few hundred here or there.
I paid something similar for the Laura as well but that in 2016, so rates could be a little different over time.

I got it done 6 months back on VW palace cross, it costed me 15K+ including labour and tax.

Hey Ethan,

I just got that done last week. My pre-owned jetta came with HIDs installed and the ballast of the low beam went kaput. So the choice came down to LED vs HIDs and I went with a Chinese manufactured one as I wanted to try these out and the price differential was 2x as well.
So the current setup is that my high beams are HIDs while the low beams are LEDs. I will still need to adjust them to ensure the reflectors do a good job with the throw but that is for another day.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Hello Speak to MysoreRoad team also, you might get some better option, i know the GM there, if you want i will speak to them to get better price for this.
