I'm not aware about Bangalore, but I got it done for about 3-4k in Hyderabad. The fit and finesse is pretty good.

So, was this a repair of existing head-liner or replacement with new head-liner? If it was a replacement, how was the quality compared to the original? Thanks in advance.

This was a repair of the existing headliner with a new cloth. The quality was pretty good. But you have to make sure you're going for the right color. The guy sounded very confident about what he was doing as well.

Ah, not bad... my scans show a low signal strength too, so not sure it is a sensor fault (front left), but a cleaning didn't help either, so got to sort this in our friendly garage tomorrow afternoon.

The speed limit is still a mystery for the service guys. My conclusion is, when the ABS alarm light is blinking and goes off after sometime, the sensor is partially damaged and hence speed limit doesn't kick in. When the probe is fully gone bonkers, the speed limit is deployed.!

Hi! I recently purchased a 2014 Jan, Jetta HL DSG which has the RCD 510 HU.

To my surprise it doesn't have a USB port which I was not aware of. My Dad's 2011 Vento had USB port.

Could anyone let me know what options I have to install USB option in the existing HU.

since the car you mention is prefacelift and 2015, the price is decent if the car has clocked lesser miles, if not, around 8 is market range.
:thumbs up
Parts will definitely be available.

Feel the drive in jetta, you won't even like Octavia. Forget japanese or Korean toys, they cant even come closer.

Definitely agree with the drive thing. It drives like a charm and is built like a tank. Which model do you own? :)

My 2014 Jetta TDI is making sort of noise when I steer at low speed at < 20kmph. It happens only at low speed. Any pointer what may be the issue. With radio on, one may not even notice, but with radio off you can notice.

Could it be the tyres? Are they the OE ones and how many have you driven?

Is this a humming sort of a noise which comes from the front? It is the tranny oil which has gotten old if your car is a manual. Get it changed and the issue will be sorted.

If it is an AT and you have changed the oil according to the prescribed intervals, then it might be the steering rack or link rods.

They are relatively new michelin OEM size tyres with around 14K Kms. So I would rule out the tyres, which I can clearly make out.

My son who standing outside couldn't even noitce on multiple times and I intentionally didn't specify what sort of noise is it. GEnerally he is very quick to notice any change in the car.

It is AT, HL 2.0 TDI with DSG. It is may not be from DSG GB. The car has run ~53K Kms, and Gear oil was changed at 4th year service in Oct'2019, post that I have driven around 6+K KMs.

Hi BHPians!

I recently got a minor front suspension job done on my Jetta 1.4TSI Comfortline 2014 from my FNG. It was making a skweaking noise on going over bumps, which used to be prominent when driving after long time and then gradually reduce to zero as the suspension worked its way though more bumps. During the job, the sway bar links and rubber bushes were removed, lubricated and re-fitted as new ones were not available.

Whilst the skweaking noise is now reduced significantly, I hear 'tak-tak' noise on going over bad roads. It is amplified when jerks are short and sharp, like angled entry-exit ramps with serrations for better grip on underground mall parkings. Sometime sudden acceleration/de-acceleration also causes one short 'tak'.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem with my wife's Polo 1.2 Highline 2013 which underwent the same job for the same reason. However, the parts were replaced in this case as they were easily available.

The mechanic is trusted. However, he needs to be pointed in the right direction. I will be thankful for any suggestions from fellow BHPians as to what could be the problem and how to resolve it.

Hi Forum,

Time has come for my Jettas 5th service, and I have some queries in this regard.

1. I just noticed my extended warranty expired in 2019, is it worth taking extended warranty again? How much does it cost now for a Highline DSG?

2. Also in this context is it OK to get the car services at a FNG, I am considering Velocity Motors Pune. Or going to VW workshop is my best bet?

3. I have been hearing a screeching sound at low speeds from my brakes, ever since monsoon set in, could the break pads have gone, how much would it cost to get this sorted?

4. I am also considering getting a complete germ clean done in my car, its been 5 years and almost 15 long drives later it can do with a thorough clean. Can you please recommend a good and reasonable cleaning service in Pune?

5. On a separate note, I seem to have misplaced my Jettas second key, and am thinking of talking to VW about it. My insurance has key protect, but it would be important to know, how much do the keys cost, will I get 2 new keys or just one, and how much would be the NCB loss if I claim it through my insurance. Please advise.

6. And finally, is there something I should be aware of when in the VW service center, I have read cases of unnecessary services, and unfair extra charges.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

Regards

Check the stabilizer link. I had faced the same issue on my Creta. Replaced the link stabilizer and it was gone. When I replaced the bush, the squeaking noise was gone.
