Service bulletins for the 2010 Volkswagen Golf

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

TT4509042023-07-10. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION; STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:PARKING ASSIST:SENSORS; POWER TRAIN; STEERING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STEERING:STEERING CONTROL MODULE. Some Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Passat vehicles equipped with electromechanical power steering have the G85 steering angle sensor located in the steering rack. These vehicles do not have a G85 in the steering column. To determine G85 location, check the J500 Power steering control module part number in the GFF printout. Do not use the part number on the steering rack for this check.
TT45061222023-07-10. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER:SENSOR/SENDING UNIT; SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE. Use the following procedure to diagnose active wheel speed sensor complaints
TT0014032023-07-10. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:INFOTAINMENT:BLUETOOTH/WIFI; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. When performing SVM updates, the scan tool should be hardwired to the vehicle and the Bluetooth physically turned off. A hard wired internet connection is also recommended.
V2719012011894_22023-07-10. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Battery Testing and Charging using Midtronics VAS6161 and or GRX3000 Vas Charger
V0118122014603192023-07-10. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Software Version Management (SVM) instruction.
TT4414012023-07-05. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. The 2010 Golf may lose basic settings for TPMS coding or pressure setting. The TPMS light comes on blinking for 60 seconds and stays on solid to indicate a system malfunction. Fault 01325 or 01521 may be stored. This happens on cars that have the BCM with integrated TPMS module.
TT2713012023-07-05. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. When diagnosing a generator charging concern, it is recommended to verify operation of the one way clutch located in the generator pulley (if equipped) before replacing generator assembly. To check the one way clutch, remove the belt from the generator pulley and use a trim removal tool to hold fan blades inside generator, as shown below. When attempting to turn pulley by hand with fan blades held, pulley should spin freely in only one direction. If pulley spins freely in both directions, the one way clutch has failed and should be replaced before continuing diagnosis.
TT2614022023-07-05. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Disconnect both O2 sensors (front and rear), start engine and let idle. Check MVB's 41/4 and 136/4 and verify have both changed from a 1 to a 0 (you may have to drive the car 4 miles to get them to reset to 0). Also a key cycle may be required for values to reset. This forces the ECM to re-learn the O2 sensor adaptation. Once MVB 41/4 and 136/4 read 0, re-connect the O2 sensors, road test and recheck for faults.
TT2613032023-07-05. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Use of aftermarket air filters such as cotton bed steel mesh or cone style, can cause the MAF sensor to not read accurately, affecting vehicle performance and critical monitoring functions for the diesel particulate filter. This can also result in premature DPF failure. Only use factory air filters. The use of aftermarket air filters is not supported as the system was designed and calibrated to work with factory air filters.
TT2413032023-07-05. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM). When diagnosing a vehicle concern, and fault P130A ?Hide Cylinder? is found in the Engine Control Module (ECM), be aware that Engine Control Module (ECM) fault P130A ?Hide Cylinder? indicates a cylinder shut down and does not require diagnosis.
TB4813032023-06-26. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STEERING. Poor Power Steering Assistance, DTCs 16344 014, 16353 014, 16355 014, 02614 014 Stored in Power Steering Control Module J500
TB4813022023-06-26. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STEERING. Poor Power Steering Assistance, DTCs 16344 014, 16353 014, 16355 014, 02614 014 Stored in Power Steering Control Module J500
TT9714022023-06-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The DLC is intended for use with diagnostic scan tools and by emissions testing stations. However, aftermarket devices (i.e., drive data recorders) that connect to the DLC have now become available.
TT9614022023-06-13. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. When replacing the complete vehicle lock set (all vehicle keys and lock cylinders) for any reason, be aware that the ?Adapt keys? test plan will not allow the new keys to adapt to the vehicle. Instead, perform the test plan for ?New identity?. During this test plan, make the appropriate selection to indicate only the lock set has been replaced, as shown below in figures 1 and 2.
TT9113062023-06-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. If the radio is switching to the Bluetooth audio selection whenever a paired phone makes any sound, such as typing or an incoming email or text message, check the BT-Audio Autoplay setting in the Media Setup menu as shown below. If BT-Audio Autoplay is on (checked), switch selection off and retest for concern. If radio software is 0016 or 0007, radio may require software update as per TB 91-13-05 (2031136) to allow BT-Audio Autoplay to switch off.
TT9113022023-06-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:CONNECTORS/PLUGS:ACCESORY POWER OUTLET/JACK/PORT/USB/SAE/CIGARETTE LIGHTER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. The Apple iPhone 5, iPad fourth generation, and iPod nano seventh generation use a proprietary ?Lightning? connector that is different than the 30 pin dock connector found on previous iPhone and iPod models.
TT9012042023-06-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. After instrument cluster replacement, service interval maximum values may need to be manually set. To set values manually, use Vehicle self-diagnosis to select 17- Instrument Cluster, then adaptation. Channel ?SIA: maximum value of distance to service? should be set to 16000 km and channel ?SIA: maximum value of time to service? should be set to 372 days.
