I have had my car for about a week now, and I already have my first problem...
the "D" letter in the shift doesnt light up! do you guys have any suggestions/solutions?
i know its a very small problem, but its just nags at me whenever i look around!
thx

See your dealer.. It's most likely a faulty LED or wire.

If you mean when it's in Drive the D doesn't highlight or whatever, then it could be the shifter position switch.

Avantadrive

I went in recently for a light out on the dash, specifically the one that lights up the + - and MODE lights to the left of the steering wheel. Replaced the whole instrument cluster to fix it!

But yeah, they will replace the whole component if part of it is broken.

Rankster

was that covered under warrenty?

lawong

yes, warranty will cover that...

crank

All my shift indicators were on, like the trans was in safe mode, but it wasn't. Took to dealer, VAG said wiring/ground fault. In the end, they found a blown circuit in the shifter assembly and had to replace that circuit board. Covered under warranty.

Thanks all the help! it was the light on the shifter itself that wasnt working.....its actually completly unlit, kinda ilke as if a light bulb blew or something....do you guys know how long it would take? becuase i dont feel like leaving the car for service after only a wekk....

woofpup

then they'll look at it and have you bring the car back in a couple of days when the receive the part.
