Here we go again more problems!!

[phillycivicsi]

I hate to keep posting and askin u guys questions but i have a cel now!! Got the code reader and looked it up online and the code is for my o2 sensor. Spoke to couple of people and they said it might be the sudden change of weather and the humidity. Keep in mind im completley stock. What is goin on?first the pcv failure now this (btw got that fixed)!!

[CleanNeon98]

It's a VW. I don't have any problems with my o2 sensor with "humidity" vw just sucks at making reliable cars. Get it fixed under warranty like I told you.

[2.0Slow?]

just take it to your dealer. be thankful its still under warranty.

Notorious VW electrical issues...

[John@20squared]

What was the specific code? This is something that anyone is going to need in order to try and help you troubleshoot the problem.

ya i agree but hopefully after you get done with this issue it will be the last one,

[The Captain]

o2 sensor could be anything. Doesnt really have anything to do with the fact that its a VW. Highly doubt they made the sensor. Just replace and go.

[TROLL]

I'm sure its frustrating but the most direct way to a solution is to take it to the dealer and have them fix it... no sense in spending time/energy/frustration on here trying to troubleshoot and do anything yourself on a new stock car thats under warranty.

[phillycivicsi]

the codes were p0130 and the other one was b2000
Looked them both up on google and both had to do with the o2 sensor

The problem is quite an easy fix actually, your car needs nothing more than a new owner.
Your welcome in advance.

Welcome to German car ownership, enjoy your stay. The part that sucks is owning them under warranty is a pain because they are being repaired on a more than regular basis, owning them out of warranty is a drain on your wallet, and good luck selling it OUT of warranty, not many are willing to put up with the nightmare you don't want.

I, and everyone we mutually know told you it would be EXACTLY like this before you bought the car, so welcome to reality.

Hey now Greg gave awesome advice, the car needs a new owner, as in you need to get rid of it.

The best thing you can do for now is just put up with the issues and hope there aren't more. Then a few months before the warranty is out, get rid of the thing so it's still worth something. While a car is still under factory warranty, the person buying it can get an extended warranty at a very good price, once the car is out of VWs responsibility, watch almost every 3rd party company nearly double the premium for your prospective buyer, and then selling the car becomes more difficult.

I love the car to be honest, I just don't think it was a good choice for you, all DSG nonsense aside, you should have stuck with something Japanese because being in school and working why do you need the headache of owning this thing?

nah, you need a dumptruck.

[CleanNeon98]

And in general from what I've seen with German, and in fact all European cars, is they tend to depreciate a LOT faster than Jap, even Domestic cars. Audis that cost 50k new are barely pushing 25k only 3-4 years and 40k miles later. Mercedes, BMW, VW, Range Rover, just about all of them, I've seen cars come through our lot that made my jaw drop seeing the original window stickers. I don't know why they depreciate so quickly, maybe it's because of the reliability issues and people not being willing to pay a lot of money knowing the repairs ahead, maybe something completely unrelated.

My point is, evaluate the market and see how quickly the GLI DSG is dropping in price, and decide how much money you are willing to lose in depreciation and sell accordingly, and don't think just because your car has DSG it's worth more, certain cars in Automatic are actually worth FAR less money (applies to a lot of sports cars and their target market).

Take this for example...05 S4 vert base price 53k.

We have one on the lot, 43k miles, auto, red leather, a few pricey extras (and it's still under factory warranty)...after over a year of sitting around we finally BARELY sold it for 23k to someone in Canada.

Blah blah blah, take it to VW.

It's all good man, I wasn't trying to pi$$ you off. I have been down this road many times before with my own 92 vw gti, my friends jetta, or other friends vw's as well.
I would have given the advice to anyone with a chevy, chrysler, dodge, or ford as well.I have owned many cars and worked on many more. I personally stay away from vw and audi. They seem to like to make things over technical with stupid wiring and bs that other cars never had nor will they ever need. Then to top it off you get nothing back when you trade your car in, and the entire time you owned the car you were too afraid to mod it up cause...well lets face it, who is willing to mod a car with issues allready, especialy one that is new with a warranty.....

[CleanNeon98]

Well put. I LOVE german cars, I love the solidity, the materials, the refinement, the features, safety, etc. I would lease one if I had the money ANYTIME, but own, never in my right mind. Great thing about leasing a Benz is if you come outside and there's a problem, you call the dealer and they drop you off a rental on the spot and pick up your car. Same situation with owning the same Benz, a little different. People that have $$$$$$$ can handle it, I can't and I don't understand why you went for a German car either.

I'm done ranting, just take it to VW on Grant by the airport and have them see what it is.
