Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I tell the Difference Between a Minor and Serious VW Oil Leak?

A minor VW oil leak causes wet residue to appear on components in the engine bay. A serious leak forms visible puddles under your car, or you might notice an acrid burning odor as oil hits hot components. Whether it’s minor or serious, a leak should always be examined for Volkswagen oil leak repair. Minor leaks often worsen, and if you ignore the problem long enough, it could cause damage and higher repair costs.

A Sweet Smell is Coming from my Engine – Do I Need Volkswagen Coolant Leak Repair?

Yes, a sweet, syrupy aroma from your engine is a sure sign that you need Volkswagen coolant leak repair. Once you notice the smell, your car is at risk of overheating and suffering severe engine damage. Common sources include cracked hoses, a failed radiator, or a bad water pump bearing. Our Selden VW car repair experts will diagnose the leak and provide a cost-efficient repair.

What Kind of Timing Belt Does a Volkswagen Use?

Volkswagen uses Kevlar or fiberglass-reinforced synthetic rubber timing belts.

The timing belt is one of the most crucial components of your vehicle, and it’s important to follow the replacement interval for your model (it ranges from 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 years). Neglecting the timing belt can risk catastrophic engine failure and a costly repair.

Dee Pat’s Awsomotive can inspect and replace your VW timing belt when it is past its safe service window.

Note that some models use timing chains rather than belts. If your car has an FSI or TFSI engine, it may have a chain-driven system that can last the lifetime of the vehicle when well-maintained. Model examples include the VW Jetta, GLI, GTI, Tiguan, Passat, and CC. If you’re unsure, we can tell you what your car uses during your next service visit to our VW service center.
