2008 Volkswagen R32 Problems
Odor From HVAC Vents
Condensation may develop in the heater case which can cause a musty odor from the heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) system. Our technicians tell us the drain system should be checked for debris. In addition, a cleaner is available for the heater case.
One or Both Head Lights May Not Work
One or both head lights may not work due to premature head light bulb burnout and/or bulb harness failure. Care should be taken to inspect the head light harness connector for damage when replacing bulbs. Damaged connectors should be replaced.
Flasher Relay Failure Can Cause Erratic Turn Signal Operation
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.
Power windows fail more often than manually operated window
Power window regulator failures are more common than those for manually operated windows.
Inspect Brakes at Every Service as Rear Brakes Wear Out Quickly
The rear brakes tend to wear out quickly; rotors may need replacement by the first brake job. Our technicians recommend that the brakes be inspected for wear regularly.
High Mileage Automatic Transmissions May Have Shifting Problems
Shifting issues due to internal problems in high mileage automatic transmissions can be difficult to resolve without transmission replacement.
