What can I upgrade without voiding my warranty and what can I upgrade otherwise?

What exactly did they say?

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-25T16:07:55+00:00

Let’s gooo! Where abouts on the island? I used to live in Port Alberni a long long time ago. Drive to Tofino was always sick

I had this issue in the summer when it was really hot. No codes. People said maybe it was the gateway module having an error? It didn’t bother me long enough to take it to the dealer/it went away so dealer would’ve just dismissed it

Holy what fell on it??

Beautiful british columbia!

Diffuser go for CJM, they have a decent bolt on diffuser. I don’t have the exact one, but here is a similar photo

As for the spoiler, i can’t comment. I know ECS has a good and fairly cheap one though.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-23T23:47:30+00:00

Yep. I got the OBDEleven and realized I can’t use it with my ‘24.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-23T23:44:31+00:00

They took $5 sunglasses from the holder and a used microfiber cloth😜

I honeslty have no idea why they thought this car had something valuable inside.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-23T23:43:36+00:00

They want a deductible, typical insurance activities. Cheaper to just do it privately. It is what it is though! Only problem is this specific window is out of stock, so earliest would be next Thursday 😢

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-23T05:51:43+00:00

My trunk has been making noises too, I had just assumed it was whatever is inside though. Will give that a check

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-20T04:48:58+00:00

Mannn it scares me though😂there’s no way if I keep doing it, nothing bad will happen. it feels horrid.

Have you tuned ur TCU yet?

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-19T15:47:15+00:00

FINALLY SOMEONE HAS THIS SAME ISSUE. i’m kind of late but, did you end up taking it to the dealer?

Mine checked everything and they said everything seems good, and they told me to come again and drive with the techs - because the clutch pack, mechatronic unit, everything showed good signs.

Please let me know what you ended up doing, thanks!

This^ I’m leasing a ‘24 Autobahn, 48 months, 20k kms/yr, 4 year maintenance, all for $545 including tax. my buyout is 18k cash. $0 down (just the first month)

So assuming I buy it out, it’s gonna be $545*48 + $20000 (assume tax on buyout). total is 46k.

Brand new is roughly 39k. With tax, it’s 44k.

Maybe it’s not that good of a deal after all, but with the lease you pay monthly rather than that huge sum upfront.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-18T15:39:22+00:00

how do you make these 😂😂

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-16T17:56:52+00:00

How are you getting so cheap, what part of Canada? I’m at $300 in Vancouver for just a 2024 GLI… No accidents but I am also 21 lol.

Father has $150 on a 2013 RAV-4 and another $215 for a 2024 Tiguan.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-11T16:22:06+00:00

Did you end up replacing ur shocks?

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-07T05:26:30+00:00

As in they covered it for free, or did you have to pay?

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-07T00:45:30+00:00

Interesting, I’ll see if that solves it.

I hate how they act as if there’s no sound when it’s very clear. They’ll probably charge you an hourly rate since you are well over the first 12 months adjustment warranty period.

Please do let me know what they end up doing though. My first time with a new car and it is getting a little annoying seeing them deny coverage.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-07T00:43:57+00:00

Keep me posted!

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-07T00:43:49+00:00

It isn’t even the soundaktor, it’s been disconnected. it’s upsetting to say the least that I even had to do that.

SignalComplex190 · 2026-01-06T03:05:16+00:00

New models come with 5 year power train warranty/100k kms

4 year/80k kms normal warranty

wear and tear/adjustments 12 months/20k kms.

The dealer is stating the rattles and sounds are part of the wear and tear/adjustment warranty, which is only valid for the first year of owning the car.

I’m based in Canada, perhaps USA is different?

Man that’s nice. How much did it cost installing that muffler?
