KnowYourVW.com, the Best VW Website Around!

I would like to take the time to tell you about KnowYourVW.com. An amazing Volkswagen website that has everything you’ll ever need to know about your VW.

When it comes to safety and convenience, Volkswagen is on top of their game. I, myself am often carrying precious cargo in my vehicle, a.k.a. kids. My kids are the reason that safety is my #1 priority. A very close second are convenience features like Bluetooth, USB ports and even cup holders!

Have you have ever been confused about a new feature in your vehicle? Are you curious about certain things? Do you want to learn exactly what your vehicle has to offer? Well, if you answered yes to at least one of these questions, you need to visit KnowYourVW.com. Understanding your VW is now easier than ever. On the site, you’ll discover “Quick Start Guides” and “Short Videos” based on the technology features specific to your vehicle’s model and year.

In these tutorials you’ll learn about topics such as:

• Front assist, lane assist and parking assist

• Blind spot monitor, rear traffic alert, adaptive cruise control,

• Keyless access and remote start,

• Bluetooth,

• App-Connect,

• Navigation,

• Digital cockpit,

• How to set the clock,

• Car-net, and much, more.

I find this site very helpful and use it myself. I have owned a few Volkswagen models in my day including a Passat, Atlas and now an Atlas Cross Sport and each one is equipped with more features and

technology, which I enjoy. These videos will provide you with a better understanding on how
everything operates, and they help eliminate user errors.

So, when you have extra time or if you find yourself in a pickle, I encourage you to pull up this website on your computer or phone and learn all about your vehicle’s features.

Be safe out there.

Brett Weldon rejoins Team Hewlett

By Tom Fornshell, Service and Parts Manager There is a lot of talk about how important family is. It is fundamental to all of us and it is very important to me. It can either be our foundation or our undoing, a huge support structure or missing altogether… maybe all the above. Any way you have it, it influences the path we take in life. Hewlett Volkswagen is owned and run by an amazing family who teach me about generosity, respect, and caring every day. They make our store feel like home. Brett Weldon was a Volkswagen service consultant for sixteen years; and ten years with the Hewlett Family. Good and high performing people in any industry are often lured away to different organizations hoping to capitalize on some of that performance. Such was the case with Brett. Heck, I don’t blame them, Brett is a Rockstar of customer service. Anyone that has had the fortune of dealing with him knows that. So, after a couple years of not so pleasant public perception of the ...

Why does it smell like old gym socks in my car when I turn on my air conditioner?

You can spray air freshener in your car or put a clippie thing (technical term) in your vent, but it will not solve the underlying issue. And hanging one of those pine tree fresheners from your rear-view mirror will just make your passengers ask: “did someone hang gym socks in a Christmas tree?” First, let me reassure you, the smell is not coming from you… its living in Texas. Second, if your car sits outside all the time, the odor can be even worse. But don’t worry, we can help! Air conditioners have a cold component behind your dash area called an evaporator. This is the part that makes your cabin air colder. And just like that icy cold glass of sweet tea on your table it sweats… a lot. In fact it sweats so much, there is a specialized drain for the case the evaporator sits in. This thing leaks water all the time because the evaporator sweats; making it a great environment for bacteria and mold to grow. And, again, if your car sits outside where it gets up to the 9...
