3 Essential Services Offered by Your VW Dealer
A VW service is performed by VW-trained technicians using VW-approved parts. Regular services enable your VW to perform at its best and reduce or prevent future repairs. As your VW dealer, we want to tell you about some of the services we provide.
Oil Changes
Oil is essential for your engine, as it lubricates all moving components. This lubrication allows them to work smoothly and efficiently while preventing friction damage. Additives inside the oil prevent engine blockages and also stop rust. In addition, the oil movement helps to cool the fast-moving components which reduces the engine temperature.
Over time oil becomes thicker and slower as it absorbs dirt and other minute debris in the engine. The slower oil becomes less efficient, and this will increase wear and tear on engine components. On average, the oil needs replacement every 10,000 miles. We drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, and seal the sump where the oil is stored. We then refill the oil, and you’ll feel the increase in performance.
Coolant Leak Repairs
Coolant is pumped through your engine and absorbs heat radiating from the fast-moving components. The heat is then locked inside the coolant and transported to the radiator, where it’s removed by heat exchange. The coolant is under high pressure, and a tiny leak can lead to a rapid loss of coolant. As your engine loses coolant, the temperature will rise, and this can result in engine damage.
The coolant can leak from damaged seals, a worn radiator cap, a rusted radiator, or a hole in a radiator hose. A leak is easy to spot as the coolant is pink, green, yellow, blue, or other bright colors. We advise against driving if you have a coolant leak, as your engine can overheat. Our technicians will find and repair the leak and then refill the coolant.
Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads provide the friction that slows and stops your wheels. They fit into the calipers and are forced against the spinning wheel rotors when you hit the brakes. The friction material on the pads reacts with the smooth rotors within seconds to bring your VW to a halt. As time passes, the material covering wears down, and the pads need replacement.
The pads have a built-in warning to remind you to change them. Once the pad’s material drops to 1/4″ thickness, a metal spike buried in the pad will become visible and scratch against the rotor. This produces a screeching noise until the pad is replaced. We can replace the pads very quickly, and you’ll feel an immediate improvement in your brake’s responsiveness.

The 2024 VW Tiguan is a shining example of what Volkswagen does best. Practical, dependable, and powerful, the Tiguan sets the standard for compact SUVs. We look at the unique features offered by each of the four trim levels so you can pick the Tiguan that’s right for you.
1. S
As the base trim, the S is the most affordable model but is still a highly desirable three-row SUV. Powering the whole Tiguan lineup is a 184 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine paired with an eight-speed transmission which delivers smooth shifting.
Smart Design Highlights
The smart exterior features 17-inch alloy wheels and all-around LED lighting, including daytime running lights, while the interior comes upholstered in stain-resistant cloth protecting the seats from grubby hands. Drivers receive heated front seats, a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel, and a clear eight-inch digital instrument display, letting them see pertinent information at a glance.
A 6.5-inch touchscreen with USB input acts as the infotainment hub. Volkswagen has equipped the S with its IQ Drive system: a collection of driver-assist technologies to enhance the driving experience. Standard features include travel assist, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency assist.
2. SE
Building on the S, the SE adds more desirable external elements, such as 18-inch alloy wheels and a power liftgate. V-Tex leatherette upholstery adorns the interior and drivers receive an eight-way power-adjustable seat.

3. SE R-Line Black
The SE R-Line Black receives a sporty makeover in the form of unique R-Line badging, 19-inch wheels, and black accents on the grille, front bumper, and side sills. Inside, this trim has a more upmarket feel. Open the power tilt and sliding panoramic sunroof to let in fresh air and set the mood inside the cab using the multi-color ambient lighting system.
4. SEL R-Line
Heading the lineup is the SEL R-Line, which comes with all-wheel drive as standard but sacrifices the third-row, turning this trim into a five-seater. It also receives front and rear park assist and additional driving modes, letting you adjust the vehicle’s performance depending on road conditions.
Convenience is key, with VW adding even more useful features, including an integrated light bar in the grille and a hands-free power liftgate so you can access the trunk with just your foot. Leather seating is standard throughout and drivers receive a larger 10.25-inch instrument display.
Whether you opt for the budget-friendly S, the sporty SE R-Line Black, or go all out for the SEL R-Line, you’ll be buying a compact SUV that delivers on all levels. Head to Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO, and drive off the lot in your new Tiguan today.
A Driver’s Guide to the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R
Volkswagen’s Golf R is a compact hatchback featuring unbelievable performance and head-turning style. While it’s made to excel on the track and twisty roads, it serves as an excellent daily driver. Take a look at the 2024 VW Golf R, which is now on sale at your local VW dealer!
Powertrain
As the top-spec version of the Golf, the Golf R gets a substantial increase in power from its turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine—a total of 315 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A standard 6-speed manual transmission is sure to please enthusiasts, but they will also have the option of pairing the motor with an exceedingly quick 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Either way, the car will be able to propel itself from 0 to 60 in under five seconds.
The Golf R’s powertrain remains well suited for everyday driving since it offers an EPA-rated fuel economy of at least 28 MPG highway. Standard 4-Motion all-wheel drive greatly improves traction and cornering performance thanks to its advanced torque vectoring system.
Chassis
A finely tuned suspension consisting of MacPherson front struts, multi-link rear axles, and telescopic dampers enables the Golf R’s impressive agility when navigating through sharp turns. It also has anti-roll bars in the front and rear for greater stability. Variable-ratio steering that makes it easy to change directions at any speed adds to the driving enjoyment.
At a respective 14.1 and 12.2 inches, the power-assisted front and rear disc brakes are sizable and bring the Golf R to a quick stop.
Exterior
The Golf R has a number of exterior differences from the Golf GTI that give it sportier looks to go with its more aggressive capabilities. These include stylish 19-inch machined aluminum-alloy wheels and a unique front bumper featuring sharply angled allowing more air to come in and helping to increase downforce. You’ll find exclusive R badging on the front and rear of the car, as well as on the brake calipers.
Buyers can choose from one of three dramatic paint finishes: Lapiz Blue Metallic, Mythos Black Metallic, and Pure White.
Interior
Despite the Golf R’s racy nature, the car provides an inviting and comfortable riding experience for its passengers. The cabin boasts well-bolstered sport seats with leather upholstery and heating, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and tri-zone climate control. The driver’s seat also comes with 12-way power adjustability to go with its lumbar support.
As for the multimedia system, there’s a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen granting access to smartphone integration, connected navigation, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. A standard 9-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers rich, deep sound.
Why choose between sportiness and practicality when the Golf R lets you have both in one handsome package? Contact Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO today and let us set you up with a test drive!
If your car has developed engine issues, it’s time to get an engine diagnostic. And given that a Volkswagen’s engine is a high-performance piece of precision machinery, there’s no one better qualified to diagnose the problem and correct it than your Volkswagen dealer.
Symptoms Something Might be Wrong
While some engine issues will come with a convenient Check Engine light on the vehicle’s dashboard, surprisingly, not all engine troubles will generate a check engine light. For example, one subtle sign that your car needs an oil change is a change in the sound of the engine, especially when it’s at idle or just after starting up; similarly, shaking, knocking, vibration, or other issues can be felt without them necessarily triggering a Check Engine light.
Of course, some signs are much less subtle, such as an engine that won’t start, a smell of something burning, or smoke coming from under the hood. Other times the Check Engine light will flash, indicating an urgent need to pull over and turn off your engine as soon as it’s safe to do so. In cases like these, it’s best to get your VW towed to our dealership right away.
What The Problem Might Be
As just a short list of examples, wiring can go bad, poor maintenance or oil impurities can cause physical issues in the engine, vibration can loosen bolts over time, bad spark plugs can cause misfires, and more. If your vehicle is exhibiting engine problems, a thorough inspection and diagnostic process is required to make sure your vehicle is safe to drive.
How Our Team Addresses Problems
Every member of our service team is well-trained in caring for Volkswagens, and our team can perform everything from multi-point inspections to engine and transmission overhauls. Our team will use both physical inspection and cutting-edge computer diagnostics to get to the root of the problem, then come to you with solutions so we can get you back on the road safe and sound as quickly as possible.
Sometimes the solution is as simple as a coolant, oil, or filter change. But if parts are required, our parts team can help source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, making sure that Volkswagen precision is built into anything your car needs.
When your engine behaves oddly, it’s better to get a diagnostic sooner rather than later. Make a service appointment today at Dean Team Volkswagen of Ballwin in Ballwin, MO (serving the St. Louis area), and let our team help you get the problem sorted out so you can get back on the road quickly with maximum peace of mind.

This model also comes standard with a power-sliding panoramic sunroof, so you can enjoy the breeze and sun while you’re driving.
Convenience features include a hands-free power liftgate for effortless access to the cargo area even when your hands are full.

Filled with luxuries, the SEL Premium R-Line trim is designed for those who want a lavish driving experience.
