Vehicle has Bluetooth and stopped working. Took it to the dealer they stated the j494car net module not functioning. This caused the sos system to not work the Bluetooth not to work and the app to track the vehicle not to work. They had to replace the module to get it to work.
Brake pads are fading quicker than usual. Also, the coolant. Just checked and added some coolant today. I never filled my other 2 older cars, one with 22k miles and the other one has 25k miles on them. I never had to add a coolant on them. This VW is barely 3k miles and itâs having these issues already.
