2009 Volkswagen CC
Engine not specified
| 1000 mi | Also found was a coolant leak which was repaired. |
| 44000 mi | About 2 months after purchased, car stalled while driving. Towed to shop and told gas tank overfilled. 18 months later, same problem. Starter replaced along with fuel pump, plus fuel line problem. VW covered all! A happy driver. |
2009 Volkswagen CC 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 55000 mi | Check engine light is on. Checked codes-found intake manifold flapper failure. Flapper is for changing length of intake runners for max performance. Not worth the cost to repair. Still getting 30-38 mpg. |
| 74000 mi US $79 |
check engine light on-diag as intake manifold needs replacement-$$$1140-did not have repair done called VW cust service-they said out of warranty tough luck-this has been a common repair for all 2.0 T engines-position sensor for damper bad |
| 75000 mi US $260 |
same intake problem-I fixed it myself-manifold was $260 |
| 120000 mi US $740 |
Replaced crankshaft seal-leaking oil-seal separated from mounting plate |

| 82000 mi US $3500 |
Multiple oil leaks |
| 82000 mi US $1250 |

| 63000 mi | Intake manifold Runner flaps motor went bad |
| 104000 mi | Check engine light for two codes. Carbon build up on intake valves. Warranty work for intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit range. EPC light. Their best guess was a bad connection. I'm not convinced since they had it all day and did not charge me anything. My guess would be carbon from the cleanup they did a week earlier was loose in intake. |
| 110200 mi US $1590 |
Leaking seal at upper timing cover leaked oil onto water pump. Collection of oil caused water pump leak. The oil leak was not seen on garage floor but coolant puddle was sizable. Air flow too low at idle stored in ECM. Leaking crankcase breather valve. Replaced breather valve. |
| 119458 mi US $652 |
Rough running with normal idle. Faulty ignition coil. |

| 105000 mi US $250 |
Intake manifold error code along with misfiring on cylinders, lean fuel. I had to get the intake manifold replaced for the second time, I also paid to have them manually clean the carbon out as well since it has only been about 30k since last intake replacement. This fixed the other error codes. This was under mfg extended warranty still - thankfully! |
| 107000 mi US $985 |
The throttle body was clogged and dirty, needed to be replaced, also another part related to emissions was leaking oil and needed replacing. |
| 105700 mi | Intake manifold runners issue. Dealer replaced, covered under extended warranty for flawed design. |
| 119000 mi | Car was leaking oil all over my driveway. Installed new oil pan, new timing cover, new underbody shields. |
| 160000 mi | Service Engine Light On. Mechanic diagnosed it as a bad oil separator. Had it replaced and also replaced the throttle body, and fuel pressure sensor. So far so good. |

| 79500 mi US $967 |
Hesitation/misfire/rough idle. Intake valve carbon deposits required teardown and manual cleaning. VW Customer Care declared this problem did not exceed expected failure rate, thus no assistance. Solvent cleaning at 58k was temp fix. |
| 103000 mi US $1300 |
Engine stopped running at high rpm. Extensive diagnostic expense led to conclusion that main bearing had seized or "spun". Car sold for $1000 to auto auction. |
| 22000 mi | They said it was the intake as the car was low on gas and the engine light came on |
| 44000 mi | the intake mainfold light came on again. it usually trips and vw resets it. this time they replaced it. |

| 38000 mi US $290 |
EPC Licht came on, car went into "limp home" mode. Drove to dealer. Codes lead to TSB instructing a "re-pinning" of the throttle body. Codes cleared and car runs fine again. <1500 miles out of warranty- $300 repair - not happy. |
| 46000 mi US $24 |
CEL came on. Misfire on cylinder 1 detected. Three of the four coils have been previously replaced, but not #1. Purchased coil, reset fault codes... problem solved. |
| 63000 mi US $700 |
Engine misfire on #2 cylinder. Diagnosed as cold start misfire likely from carbon build up. Replaced plugs, coils and had intake valves cleaned of carbon. Lots of carbon build up removed. Common issue with direct injection engines. |
| 68000 mi US $550 |
CEL for cooling system reading out of expected range. Replaced both thermostat and sensor to resolve problem. At nearly 70K miles I elected to replace the water pump since there would be no additional labor. |
| 80000 mi | CEL, diagnosed as intake manifold issue, replaced under extended manufacturer recall, when reassembled, #2 fuel injector was also bad. It was also replaced under recall. |
| 29700 mi | leak in intake manifold, could not hold vacuum. dealer said a valve in intake was sticking and the entire manifold had to be replaced. It was replaced under warranty, it would have cost about $550 parts and labor. |
| 35000 mi | ECP and check engine lights, car doesnt crank. Dealer says #3 injector bad. Car still in shop, injector seal kit on back order, they say could be 2 weeks or more. with it not cranking I am guessing there are additional issues. |
| 46300 mi US $200 |
throttle body and engine wiring harness codes. engine lost power and wouldn't idle. lost communication to the throttle body, so throttle fails closed. dealer cleaned connections, currently working, but I suspect only temporary. |
| 53000 mi US $775 |
Intake valve carbon buildup causing cold start misfire and loss of power. This is a known issue with DI engines, with no real fix. Expect to clean the valves roughly every 50K miles. Car will run, but with a check engine light. |
| 51700 mi US $600 |
Failed fuel pressure sensor and bad crankcase breather. check engine light on solid and intermittent flashing. tow truck ride to dealer, again. |
