Acadia Celebrates 1 Year With MQB #3, Wonders If It's Time To Upgrade...

[jay745]

it's like $600-800 here. I think my guy charges me 1 hour of shop labor, but I've been putting it off until the car is corner-balanced. I ain't afraid of no light.


If I make it to the end of this week, it will have officially been a full month without a leak, failed turbo, or bunk-ass tune. Next week: 20 hour road trip.

Corner balance is awesome if all your suspension can take advantage of it

only reason I didn't get S trim was I really wanted the "lighting package"...wasn't even looking for leatherette or sunroof, but here I am....lol

Wait until you start getting the AFS Lighting error 🫠

I didn't even realize the error light was there when I got in my car. I might start selling my ACC Error Light Delete Kit. I could probably get EQT interested and sign a contract for them to buy my whole supply and be the sole US distributor. At a significant markup from what I'd sell them for, obviously.

why does it cost $400 to reset that ligh lmao

Car is on the alignment rack for 4 wheel alignment, front camera calibration and ACC calibration - most shops charge 4-6 hrs of labor.

Introducing the ACC Error Light Delete v2!!

Now with more appropriate color matched matte black vinyl!

"Did you buy a roll of matte black vinyl just to cut a tiny triangle out of it to cover your ACC error light?"

lol...comes on now and again for no reason whatsoever....came on a couple days in a row last month....nothing since and lights still do their dance

 

[Acadia18]

Selling AFS Error Light Deletes too! $5.99 for 1, or $13.99 for 3!!!

Mine comes in every once in a while, only since I discovered my sunroof leak though, so that's sightly worrying. I'll fix it when it stays in I guess.

This is the longest I've had parts sitting around without getting put on my car. But with celebrating the return of our lord and saviour jesus christ, I haven't had a chance to put my brakes or rear reflector deletes on. It's supposed to be high 70s/low 80s this Thurs\Fri, so took the days off and will get it done then. Can't be rolling up to C&C this weekend looking like some kind of blank rotor peasant!

 

[Acadia18]

Also, it's been a week and still have my ACC error light on

Next Tuesday I finally register my car and will go get it inspected then. If the light is still on by then, I'll make an appt with the dealer and see what they say.

If Jesus was as great as they say he is he would have done the install for you.
