Your Volkswagen is perfectly engineered for your driving pleasure. It contains tens of thousands of components, and over time even Volkswagen components will age and need replacement. When this happens, your friendly Volkswagen dealership in Las Cruces, NM is here to help. Our fully equipped service department can provide any service your car may require.

Check Engine Light Diagnosis

Each warning light on your dash highlights a particular problem that needs to be investigated. The check engine light is slightly different, as it illuminates in response to any problem in your engine. Your engine contains numerous sensors, and each sensor is connected to an essential system. These sensors supply information to your car’s computer on the health and performance of their attached systems.

Sensors can detect minute changes in performance. If a problem is detected, the sensor will inform your computer immediately. The computer will identify the issue with an error code and will then illuminate the check engine light. Our technicians will connect your car’s computer to our diagnostic system to identify the exact problem from its error code. Once we’ve identified the problem, we’ll fix it for you.

Transmission Servicing

Your transmission converts engine power into a usable form to enable the wheels to move. The gears in the transmission ensure that your wheels receive sufficient power at any time to allow you to move at the desired speed. A transmission service allows us to check the health and condition of the transmission, which gives it a longer lifespan.

During a service, we check and replace the transmission fluid. This fluid provides hydraulic power that allows your gears to move. The fluid also protects transmission components against friction damage and overheating. We replace the transmission filter, which enables fluid to move faster through the transmission. We also check and replace any worn or damaged seals or gaskets. Finally, we clean the transmission to protect it against dirt.

Oil Check and Replacement

Just as the transmission needs transmission fluid, your engine needs oil. Oil is continuously pumped through your engine by the oil pump. The oil lubricates engine components, which protects them against damage and allows them to work faster and more efficiently. Additives in the oil help to reduce dirt buildup and prevent rust. Finally, the flow of oil slightly reduces engine temperature.

Oil is gradually consumed by your engine. The oil accumulates dirt and other debris over time, and this reduces its speed and the benefits it provides. Older oil becomes less efficient at keeping your engine healthy. During an oil check, we test the quality of your oil. We’ll drain the oil and refill it, and we also replace the oil filter.
