FAQ :
Where can I find warranty information for my Volkswagen vehicle?
To locate limited warranty information for your vehicle, please refer to your Warranty and Maintenance booklet found in your Owner’s Manual.

Is my vehicle included in the Takata recall?
To verify whether your vehicle is impacted by this recall, enter your 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) using the VIN search tool available on contact or .safercar.gov.
Your VIN is a 17 character (digits and capital letters) identification number that is located on the lower left corner of your vehicle’s windshield, on your vehicle’s registration card, or it may also be shown on your insurance card. In addition, if your vehicle is impacted by this recall, you should have already received an initial notification in the mail advising you of the recall.

You bet. Volkswagen limited warranties are automatically transferred without cost if the ownership of the vehicle changes while the limited warranties are valid.

What is the minimum octane rating gasoline that I should use in my vehicle?
Fuel requirements will vary based on the vehicle you have. To identify the minimum octane rating of the gasoline recommended for your vehicle, please check the fuel sticker that is found on the inside of your fuel filler door.

Why do my brakes make a squealing noise sometimes when it’s cold?
If your car has been sitting for a while, if it is wet, or even cold outside, the brakes can oxidize and rust may form. So when the brakes are used for the first time, they may make a squealing noise. After a few stops, the rust will essentially wear off and the noise will disappear as well. If brake noise continues, please visit your local VW dealer.
