Dealer-Standard Repairs
Why Choose Cedar Garage for VW Repairs?
Getting the repair right first time is what saves you money, and that starts with finding the real cause. Our technicians repair Volkswagens every day, from the Polo, Golf, T-Roc and Tiguan to the Passat, Touareg and Transporter, and they know the common VW repairs well: DSG gearbox faults, water pump and thermostat housing leaks on TSI engines, PCV valve failures on the Golf GTI and Golf R, timing chain wear on earlier TSI engines, EGR, DPF and AdBlue faults on TDI diesels, and Passat steering lock failures. Because we confirm the fault with VW Group diagnostic equipment before recommending any work, you only pay for the parts that actually fix the car.
Many Volkswagen repairs need coding or an adaptation afterwards, such as a new battery, DSG clutch, electric parking brake or control unit. We carry this out in house, so your VW is repaired and ready to go in one visit without a trip to the dealer. We also repair VW vans, including the Transporter, Caddy and California, and 4MOTION four-wheel drive models. We'll always explain what needs doing and what can wait, and never carry out extra work without your approval. We can also collect your Volkswagen and deliver it back to you, and provide a hire car while it's being repaired. Our Sompting workshop is just a few minutes from Worthing, Lancing and Shoreham, and easy to reach from Littlehampton and across West Sussex.

Frequently Asked Questions
Volkswagen Repair FAQs
What VW repairs do you carry out?
We carry out all kinds of Volkswagen repairs on cars and vans, from brakes, suspension and clutches to gearbox, engine and electrical faults. If you're not sure what's wrong, we'll start with fault finding so the right repair is done first time.
How much will my VW repair cost?
It depends on what's wrong and the parts needed. We'll always give you a clear quote before any work starts, and we never carry out extra work without your approval.
Do you use genuine Volkswagen parts, and will it affect my warranty?
We use quality parts made to the original standard, and can fit genuine VW parts if you'd prefer. Having your Volkswagen repaired by us won't affect its manufacturer's warranty.
Do you repair VW Transporter and Caddy vans?
Yes. We repair Volkswagen vans, including the Transporter, Caddy and California, and we'll aim to get yours back on the road as quickly as possible.
Do you replace VW cambelts and timing chains?
Yes. Depending on the engine, your VW will have either a cambelt or a timing chain. Give us your registration and we'll let you know if anything is due.
Can you fix VW DSG gearbox problems?
Yes. If your gear changes feel jerky, the gear display is flashing or the gearbox has gone into limp mode, book in and we'll find the cause and put it right.
My VW is in limp mode. Can you help?
Yes. Limp mode is your VW protecting itself after spotting a fault, so it cuts power. Book in for fault finding and we'll find the cause and give you a clear quote.
My VW says 'steering lock fault' and won't start. Can you fix it?
Yes. This is a known fault on some VWs, particularly the Passat. Give us a call and we'll find the cause, replace the faulty part and get you back on the road.
Are your VW repairs guaranteed?
Yes. Our repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, so you can drive away with confidence.
