Every car has one, a check engine light. It happens to nearly any make and model of car, whether it’s in the beginning stages of life or at wit’s end. However, it’s fairly standard for the VWs to display an issue on their dash, especially the 2013 Jetta Hybrid model due to faulty sensors or software problems. If you own a VW and your check engine light has lit up on the dashboard, feel free to swing by for a quick diagnostic service. We’ll assess the source of the issue, inform you about the problem at hand, and repair your vehicle if you’d like.
Older VW models, including the year 2000 Passat, have had trouble in the past from built up oil sludge in the engine, ultimately causing engine failures. The problem usually becomes noticeable at around 70,000 to 90,000 miles. Just like any car with built-up sludge, oil sludge can be a definite problem in your car’s engine and it can prevent your car from running efficiently, or at all. To solve this issue and to prevent it from occurring in the first place, it’s highly recommended you provide your VW with the proper services needed, such as regular oil changes. If you notice that your engine is sluggish, it’s leaking oil, or it is overheating, then you may have oil sludge built up in the engine. We can flush your system, repair components, and seal leaks so that no further damage occurs.
Some VW models are unfortunately notorious for faulty wiring. 2006 Jettas have been known to have wiring harness shorts which occur around the 100,000-mile mark. If you have noticed shorts and the need for Volkswagen repair, be sure you contact Avalon Motorsports immediately for electrical services. These kinds of repairs should always use a certified VW service specialist.
Fairly common in Volkswagens, if your VW’s airbag malfunction light randomly flashes on and off, there could be an issue within the sensor of the airbag. An experienced Volkswagen repair specialist can take care of this problem for you when you notice it becomes an issue (usually around the 100,000-mile mark). The fix is usually only a few dollars, yet it’ll give you the peace of mind you need to know your airbag will work correctly in case of an accident.
In the past, the Passat has had coil failure issues which appear around the 75,000-mile mark. Although this is a fairly common issue in Volkswagens, a VW specialist should complete this kind of repair. If you think your Passat is experiencing this type of problem, make sure you reach out to a VW specialist today!

Volkswagen continues a tradition of building vehicles that are safe, comfortable, and highly responsive. That said, there’s always room for improvement, especially if you’re boosting the performance of your engine.

We can help you in those departments.
Whether you want an exhaust that purrs, or you need a performance exhaust that can handle a boosted flow of air, we can provide. We install any number of exhaust upgrades for VW model vehicles, and we’d be ecstatic to transform your Volkswagen, from headlight to tailpipe.
