I live 20 mins away and was just at their facility for their Winterfest event over the weekend, but I don't do business there for the same reasons @Goodbar. They just never seemed to give a shit in person or in email and I know lots of people who've had failed crap from them, myself included...

Truly remarkable. My friend was actually just texting me about his 2018 Tiguan. 130k on it and just needed to be done. Started pushing coolant out through the electrical connection according to the tech who worked on it.

Yeah, last time I had one done was when they replaced my 2017 Sport’s motor under warranty December 2020, it was still the M revision. Three more revs since then it would seem.

There have been various revisions to the part over the MK7/7.5 product lifecycle. The latest mk7.5 part (and I’d assume mk7 as well) looks to be 06L121111P.

Dunno why I’m a glutton for punishment but back in May ‘23 we got a 2019 Spektrum R with 20k miles on it, our 5th MK7 since 2014, and guess what I smell and see going away from the tank at 25k miles. Big sigh. At least we have the 6/72 warranty until 2025, maybe I can get two or three...

Man, if ads got you down, get PiHole set up on your network. You won’t see them anymore on any device and you can get it running on just about anything. https://pi-hole.net/ I think VW is taking a bath on EV reliability and overall parts availability. Look at the camshaft issue for example...

lol yes. There have been times where I’ve had to look a service manager straight in the eye and say, “Explain to me why anyone on your crew would ever say XYZ to a customer when that is clearly not how cars work?” It’s astonishing how little care, honesty and pride people put into their chosen...

Glad you got it solved. It’s amazing to me the utter nonsense dealerships will spout off to people, I’ve been there too.

I’d say it’s unlikely and if something was fucked up with the battery or process used to replace it (pretty hard to screw up) you would likely be seeing other issues in the car.

Yeah you need to fix it but also why not just hardwire your dash cam and avoid plugging and unplugging in that broken area or causing further wear? It’s not hard to do at all and a hardwire kit is less than 20 bucks shipped to your door. If you want to replace that portion of the center...

Thanks guys.
