I have a 2024 ( 18 month old) vRS TDI. It only has 45k but feel like it’s done 200k. First problem was the touchscreen failed. Replaced under warranty. The GPS has an intermittent fault . The car thinks i’m driving across fields or i’m in a town miles away. I don’t think the dealer is too interested. No fault codes so nothing wrong. I sent them videos but no response. Also the headlight washers have now failed.

I suspect the flywheel is starting to fail, i can hear it’s graunchiness at low speeds and while coming to a stop. That’s how my last car sounded before it had failed but it had 160k on it.

I have a battery tester and while doing routine checks on our cars the tester keeps telling me to replace the vRS battery. Only 18 months old ffs.

Oil consumption is a bit of a concern. At 3.5k the oil drops to halfway down the dipstick. All my other TDI’s never used any oil in 10k. My worry is it will damage the DPF with oil ash and no doubt just when the warranty is up.

The car isn’t abused. Meticulously serviced, i change the oil every 5k.

Have you had the car since new?

If you have had it since new you must be changing the oil every 2 months if doing 45k in 18 months? This does seen ridiculous for a diesel....

I guess you need to get it booked into another dealer when they have a loan car available and leave it there until its all sorted. Sounds like they are all warranty issues?

i have the 2025 FL, (not the VRs),and when my phone connected to android auto, Waze thinks i am 1 kilometer away from the road i am driving. its glitching all the time, same with Gmaps.

(when phone is not connected everything is perfect (on my phone))

tried using different devices like Iphone, or different android, same issues..

waiting for my visit in at the dealer..

Yeah, bought it brand new. Yeah works out every 2 months. There’s been a lot of debate recently of engine sludge due to 10k oil changes. Rings getting gummed up etc etc.

Does it have OEM navigation? If so does it affect it?

no. In Israel we don't get the cars with built in navigation system, at least not for VW group cars..
