USED VOLKSWAGEN PARTS

Volkswagen (VW), translated in German as “people’s car”, is one of the world’s biggest auto manufacturers producing vehicles for over 70 years. They are known for having low maintenance costs and top-notch performance for a reasonable price. This popular automotive brand is one of the current few that offers gasoline and diesel-powered options in the US. VW is known for iconic models like the Beetle, Jetta, and GTI.

This popular brand is known for integrating innovative technology into their vehicles, having high-quality workmanship and stylish designs.


Are their parts expensive?

OEM Volkswagen parts are relatively affordable. VW parts used to be pricey like any other German parts and the maintenance costs for newer VW vehicles are higher than the industry average. The main reason their parts were expensive is they came directly from Germany and Mexico. Imported parts are more expensive than domestically produced ones. The convenience and affordability keep the costs low for maintenance and repairs on a Volkswagen. With OEM VW parts, you can ensure they are of the highest quality for your Volkswagen.

Even though VWs are low-maintenance vehicles, repairs can still add up. Used Volkswagen parts can save you money on repair costs, especially in comparison to new parts from the dealership.


Volkswagen Engines

Porsche engines are known for their reliability as much as they are for their speed and power. Their vehicles are equipped with engines that truly go above and beyond when it comes to horsepower and performance.

The most common complaint with their engines is a coolant leak caused by a faulty coolant distribution pipe. Most often, this issue occurs in the Panamera and Cayenne models. Low coolant can cause your engine to overheat, especially when temperatures are high or the driver is taxing the engine.

Volkswagen Transmissions

Volkswagen transmissions have a solid lifespan lasting over 150,000 miles before needing a clutch replacement. They still offer a manual option in their hatchback and car lineups such as the Jetta and Golf GTI as well as the DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) option for the automatic gearbox. The DSG became the world’s first automated dual-clutch transmission in a series-production vehicle when it launched in 2003. Unlike other gearboxes, the DSG automates two separate manual gearboxes and clutches contained within one housing and works as one unit which makes for quicker shifting and no loss of torque.

Though DSGs provide better fuel economy and smoother shifting, there are some concerns. The clutch pack mechanisms have a limited lifespan, pricey lubricants are required which need regular changes, and worse mechanical efficiency compared to conventional manual transmission.
