2013 Volkswagen CC Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Volkswagen CC applies to nine trims, from Base and Sport through Highline V6, Sport Plus and the VR6 4Motion Executive. The body is a four-door sedan. Power comes from either a 2.0L inline-four, turbocharged and fitted with twin cams, or a 3.6L V6 that relies on natural aspiration and also uses a DOHC valvetrain; gasoline feeds both. The manual sets out procedures and specifications for engine, cooling, ignition and fuel work alongside the transmission, steering and brake systems.

Known issues on the 2013 CC. The 2013 CC has 5 recalls on the federal record. Air bags dominate: on certain 2013 CC vehicles, contamination of the steering wheel clock spring could sever the connection to the driver's air bag, and on certain others the driver's inflator risked bursting from excess internal pressure. A further recall replaced the fuel pump control module on certain cars because power interruptions could cause the pump to fail and the engine to stall. Of the 147 owner complaints, 89 concern air bags, 18 the engine and 16 the electrical system; 7 complaints reported a crash and 4 an injury. Wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the air bag, fuel and electrical systems address these areas.
