The first thing you should do is check yourself for injuries. Check your entire body slowly to make sure you are not feeling any pain. After you have entirely checked yourself, you may slowly get out of your car and walk over to the other car and make sure the passengers are okay. If there are any injuries at all immediately call 911 and report them. In the case there are no injuries, call the local police letting them know of the accident, they will be able to direct you on if you should move the vehicles out of on coming traffic or if you need to leave them where they are. When they arrive at the scene they will take a statement from each of the passengers involved in the accident.

When giving your statement to the police officer, it is important that you give every detail and are honest. Sometimes people tend to leave things out when it’s an embarrassing mistake, but you need to disclose everything. If something is revealed that you failed to tell the cop, it could very well come back to bite you. An insurance company can use this against you to pin more of the blame on you, which could result in your insurance company not covering you. If you have a camera, it’s extremely smart to take pictures! Pictures can tell so much when it comes to damages and proving your case, so take them even if it’s on your phone camera!

There are some phone calls that need to be made after you have a car accident. You should call your insurer as soon as possible after the accident so they can start working on the case and determine who was at fault. Insurance is a very large topic that we are not going to get into large detail about, so we advise that you do more research on it so you are prepared for anything that arises.

The next step is seeking medical care. You have every right to seek treatment as you think is appropriate. You should be aware that if you seek medical treatment for something unnecessary your insurance can tell you they won’t cover it. So only seek care if it’s appropriate and not just a minor injury or embellishment. If you are not at fault and you’ve been injured in an accident, you can make your claims to your own insurance company for reimbursement of your lost wages and medical expenses. If you have not collected any insurance benefits within thirty days of a car accident, this is not a good sign. It means that your insurer could have something against you and they are getting ready to litigate against you, or you have not communicated effectively with your insurance company. In these cases, having an attorney could be helpful.

Volkswagen cars and the VW parts that make them are made to a high specification, generally this means that you should have little trouble with your VW car provided the usual wear and tear items are serviced at regular intervals. Faults tend not to happen suddenly, generally they develop over a longer period if you have neglected to service your car. Severe faults usually build up over hundreds if not thousands of miles of usage. Parts that tend to fail suddenly are smaller items, which would usually not cause the vehicle to stop working.

With any fault finding, the first step is to decide where to begin investigations. Sometimes this is obvious, but on other occasions a little detective work will be necessary. The owner who makes half a dozen haphazard adjustments or replacements may be successful in curing a fault (or its symptoms), but he will be none the wiser if the fault recurs and he may well have spent more time and money than

was necessary. A calm and logical approach will be found to be more satisfactory in the long run. Always take into account any warning signs or abnormalities that may have been noticed in the period preceding the fault – power loss, high or low gauge readings, unusual noises or smells, etc – and remember that failure of components such as fuses or spark plugs may only be pointers to some underlying fault.

When diagnosing any fault it is important to follow a number of simple principles:

Establish what is causing the fault. You must be sure of all the problem signs and symptoms before starting any work. Further questioning may be required if you are looking for a fault for someone who has not described the issue very well.

When examining the vehicle look for obvious causes of the symptoms described. Carry out all the checks yourself even if it means repeating work carried out by somebody else, they may have missed something. For example, it would be wise to check the petrol tank if the car is failing to start, even if the petrol gauge is showing as full.

When making any repairs it is vital to repair the cause, not just the symptom. For example re-inflating a tyre may allow you to continue with your journey momentarily however you will be back to square one fairly quickly if you have a puncture.

Do not make any assumptions in your diagnosis, remember that recently fitted parts may be faulty which could then cause the issue at hand. Do not leave anything to chance, check all the parts in an ordered fashion and you should find that all the evidence leads to the issue you uncover.
