Volkswagen common issues

Noise when hitting a bump coming from the front of the vehicle. We have noticed suspension control arms and ball joints tend to be the cause of faulty shocks or shock mounts are also common. We can check to have this repaired making it feel like new. This also affects your stability while driving, especially turning at high speeds.

Coolant leaks are another point of failure in volkswagen can be caused by worn seals, radiator leaks. Another issue we’ve found is a failed cooling fan which causes cooling temperature to rise and can cause leaks due to excessive pressure built up by temperature.

Check engine light turned and the car felt like it’s shaking. This has usually been a case of a faulty ignition coil.

Best thing to avoid is not only having your maintenance done on time but also using quality oil.

Pre Purchase inspection

We understand the need to be  wise in today’s economy and get the most you can on your investment.. The best solution for your budget is often buying a used vehicle. One of the downsides to buying a used car is not knowing the current condition mechanically of the vehicle. Many dealerships provide services like Carfax and other used-vehicle reports to inform you. Pre-purchase inspections will help you avoid getting into a vehicle with many repairs already needed which were not in your purchase budget. Knowing this before can help in multiple ways, stay away from that vehicle or if inspection is not a deal breaker use it as a negotiation point to lower the price of purchase. Our inspection checks if all the parts and critical driving systems are in good condition? How much life is left on the belts, hoses, and other key engine parts or fluids? At Advanced Auto Diagnostics, we want you to be safe in any vehicle you drive. Let an expertly trained, experienced, ASE-certified technician conduct a pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle you are considering to purchase.

A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended if you are buying a vehicle without a warranty. You are assuming all the risk after purchase, so an inspection only makes financial sense. There is no industry standard for these inspections, but Advanced Auto Diagnostics will provide you with a comprehensive review of your prospective vehicle.

Spotting the problems before you purchase the vehicle can save you a lot of money. You can use any problems you find to negotiate a better price for the vehicle, and if they’re too costly or make the vehicle unsafe, you can avoid buying it altogether and find something safer for you and your family.

Volkswagen service and maintenance center

Make sure your Volkswagen gets the right fluids at the right times, whether it’s gas, engine oil, diesel fuel, or AdBlue, the essential clean diesel additive for TDI Clean Diesel engines.
The engine in your Volkswagen is a sophisticated power plant, and it requires engine oil that meets exact specifications which we carry in stock at ADVANCED AUTO DIAGNOSTICS. Choosing the proper oil, along with oil and filter changes at factory-specified intervals, will help ensure proper lubrication for your vehicle’s engine. In every visit we inspect all fluids and filters to advise you of any parts or service needed to keep your Volkswagen running properly. All services and maintenance conducted by our shop will keep your warranty valid, as we carry all licenses to work on your vehicle and only use the proper specified fluids and parts per manufacturer requirement.

Whether your Volkswagen is due by mileage or vehicle is indicated to visit the workshop rest assured that ADVANCED AUTO DIAGNOSTICS has you covered. Call Today to inquire about any services your vehicle may need.

If you drive a diesel TDI always pay proper attention to the warning system should you be notified of low AdBlue fluid levels. The AdBlue supply needs to be replenished approximately once every 10,000 miles, depending on your driving style and conditions, beginning with the 15,000-mile scheduled maintenance interval. There is a special warning system in place to ensure normal operation of your vehicle at all times. Should your vehicle require additional AdBlue, your instrument panel will begin warning you with sound and detailed instructions when 1,500 miles, 600 miles and limited miles remain.

Filters in your car are important to change as specified or needed depending on driving conditions. A dirty air filter in your engine will not give your vehicle the sufficient air flow required therefore causing your vehicle to consume more fuel than usual. In addition fuel when applicable and cabin filters are very important. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have about your Volkswagen. 305-418-8748.

I am 55 years old and not a fan of the “online” world but I felt compelled to put a review for these guys. I must thank David and the staff behind him for their honesty and integrity. They saved me around $3,000 in unnecessary repairs that were suggested by my dealer!!! I ran these guys through 2 honesty tests and they passed with flying colors. Good people still exist !!!!
