Volkswagen Valve Cover Gasket Replacement
Learn about valve cover gasket failure in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport:
Valve cover gasket failure is a common issue on Volkswagens. If you are smelling burning oil in your Volkswagen there is a good chance the scent is coming from oil burning on the exhaust. The source of that oil is often a leaking valve cover gasket or valve cover assembly. Nearby seals that also commonly leak on Volkswagens are the oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets [link to page on those]. The valve cover is the uppermost cover on your Volkswagen’s engine. Over time the gasket can harden and the valve cover can become brittle. An old, brittle valve cover should be replaced to prevent cracking. Due to plastic engine covers and under panels hiding the engine from view, you may have a leak that you cannot see. Our expert Volkswagen mechanics can inspect your Volkswagen for oil leaks and provide an affordable repair with original equipment (OEM) parts.
Common signs your valve cover gasket may be leaking include:
- Burning oil scent
- Oil accumulating in the spark plug wells, potentially causing a misfire or the vehicle to run rough
- Oil seeping out from gasket or bolt grommets
- Low oil level
- Cracked valve cover
- Check engine light
The cost to repair a valve cover gasket varies based on your Volkswagen’s year, model, and engine. Eurosport uses the same original equipment parts as the dealer to ensure the highest quality repair is performed on your Volkswagen and warranties their repairs to ensure your peace of mind. Aftermarket parts can fail prematurely, causing additional repair expenses. Trust Eurosport’s expert mechanics to repair your Volkswagen to dealership quality, without the dealership price.

Volkswagen Ignition Coil Failure and Replacement
Learn about ignition coil failure in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport.
Failure of the ignition coils is a common issue on modern Volkswagens. If your Volkswagen is running rough there is a good chance it is caused by a misfire due to a failed ignition coil. The ignition coils connect and deliver power to the spark plugs. Without power to generate spark, the fuel and air in the cylinder do not ignite, causing a misfire. When misfires occur the spark plugs can often become fouled, requiring replacement. A misfire will cause the check engine light or drivetrain malfunction light to illuminate on your dashboard. Our expert Volkswagen mechanics can perform a computer diagnostic to identify the failed component and provide an affordable repair with original equipment (OEM) parts. Common symptoms of ignition coil failure include:
- Check engine light on
- Engine feeling like it is shaking or running rough
- Low power and difficulty accelerating
- Drivetrain malfunction light on
The cost to replace the ignition coils varies based on your Volkswagen’s year, model, and engine. Eurosport uses the same original equipment parts as the dealer to ensure the highest quality repair is performed on your Volkswagen and warranties their repairs to ensure your peace of mind.

Volkswagen Oil Service
Learn about Volkswagen oil change costs and intervals in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport.
Regularly changing the oil is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your Volkswagen’s engine. Eurosport recommends changing your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles depending on your driving conditions. For majority city driving with stop-and-go traffic, 5,000 miles is recommended. For majority highway driving, a longer interval between changes up to 7,500 miles is recommended. In either case, if your vehicle is indicating the need for an oil service you should schedule an oil change as soon as possible. If your vehicle is indicating a “low oil” condition, you should immediately schedule to have your oil level inspected and filled to the correct level. It is common for modern engines to consume or burn up to one quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Old, dirty oil can cause oil pressure issues that can cause severe damage to the engine’s internal components. Using aftermarket oil filters that do not properly fit in the oil filter housing can also cause oil pressure issues. The cost to change the oil varies based on your Volkswagen’s year, model, and engine. Four cylinder engines have a smaller oil capacity than six or eight cylinder engines, and will therefore have a lower cost. Eurosport uses the same original equipment parts as the dealer to ensure the highest quality repair is performed on your Volkswagen and warranties their repairs to ensure your peace of mind. Aftermarket parts can fail prematurely, causing additional repair expenses. Trust Eurosport’s expert mechanics to repair your Volkswagen to dealership quality, without the dealership price.
Volkswagen Brake Pad Replacement
Learn about Volkswagen brake pad replacement in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport.
Brake pads are a common maintenance item that wear down over time. Brake life is determined by a number of factors including quality of the pad and rotor, driving habits, and driving environment. For example, stop-and-go driving in the city will involve more wear than long highway cruising. When replacing brake pads it is also necessary to replace the brake rotors, as they are designed to wear down with the pad. If brake pads are replaced and rotors are not replaced, the brakes will not bed in properly and will be noisy, grind, or warp, causing a vibration in the steering wheel or brake pedal and a loss of braking power. Your Volkswagen is equipped with a sensor in the brake pad that will cause a warning to illuminate on the dash when brake life is at a minimum and brakes should be replaced.
Common symptoms of brake wear include:
- Squeaking
- Grinding
- Vibration from the steering wheel or brake pedal under braking
Eurosport’s expert Volkswagen mechanics can perform an inspection to identify the worn brake components and provide an affordable repair with original equipment (OEM) parts. The cost to replace the brakes varies based on your Volkswagen’s year, model, and option package.

Volkswagen Air and Cabin Filter Replacement
Learn about Volkswagen air and cabin replacement in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport.
Cabin and engine air filters are maintenance items in your Volkswagen that should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal function. These filters function similarly to the air filters in your home’s air conditioning. The engine air filter cleans the air entering the engine to remove dust and other contaminants that can damage the engine’s internal components. The cabin filter removes dust and contaminants from the climate control system. When dirty and clogged the engine air filter restricts airflow to the engine and can cause a loss of power and a decrease in MPG. A dirty cabin filter can cause a musty odor, decrease airflow through the vents, and cause strain on the blower motor which can lead to premature failure. Engine and cabin air filters should be inspected regularly to ensure they are clean, and should be replaced when they become dirty.

Volkswagen Drive Belt Replacement
Learn about Volkswagen drive belt replacement in this helpful article from your friends at Eurosport.
Drive belts are an integral part of your engine’s functionality and are a wear item. Many older vehicles have two belts that are connected to the main crankshaft pulley and provide power to the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and A/C compressor. Some newer vehicles have electric water pumps and steering racks and only one drive belt for the A/C compressor and alternator. Over time the drive belt will harden and develop cracks. An old drive belt can fail suddenly without warning and leave you stranded. Drive belts can fail prematurely if your vehicle has an oil leak or coolant leak that is contaminating the belt with either of those fluids. If your vehicle has high miles it may be recommended to replace the pulleys and tensioners as well, as those parts also experience wear and tear. Common signs your drive belt may need to be replaced include:
- Whine or squeak from under the hood
- Loss of power to power steering pump, alternator, or other component
- Cracking or fraying of the belt
