My brand new 2019 Atlas, 1825km done so far and I got a check engine light that came on and stayed on. Taking it in for a check tomorrow.

Brake dust is heavy on the front wheels and sticks to the wheels. Seperate appointment on Saturday to check this issue.

So far I am pleased with the performance of the vehicle but the above two issues are making me wonder about my choice of vehicle.

  5. 2.0 oil filter

    Engine and Technical Discussion
    When we purchased our Atlas the service manager said to use the factory oil filter when doing an oil change. He said aftermarket filters don't flow enough oil and will starve the engine compared to the factory one. I've never heard of this, but I've never owned a VW or a vehicle that has an...
