    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why does my Rabbit 2.5L idle roughly or shake at stops?             
    This usually happens due to worn motor mounts, dirty throttle bodies, or vacuum leaks. Inspecting and cleaning these components often helps stabilize idle.
    What commonly causes the check engine light on this model?             
    Frequent reasons include faulty ignition coils, mass airflow sensors, or EVAP leaks. Running a diagnostic scan identifies which system needs attention.
    Why does my A/C blow warm air instead of cooling properly?                 
    Low refrigerant levels, compressor clutch wear, or a clogged expansion valve can affect cooling. A professional inspection can confirm the exact cause.
    Why does the suspension make clunking or knocking noises?              
    Worn strut mounts, control arm bushings, or sway bar links often create these sounds. Replacing worn parts restores smoother and quieter handling.
    What leads to poor fuel economy in the Rabbit 2.5L?               
    Old spark plugs, clogged air filters, or weak oxygen sensors reduce efficiency. Regular maintenance helps maintain balanced fuel and air delivery.
