Good Evening all, have a similar query if anyone can help. I upgraded my MIB 2 screen from a 6.5” to an 8”. Love it and would recommend! 😊 I’m just struggling to find the trim part number to go around it now. Anyone have any ideas where? Mine is the 8” screen with physical buttons. I...

Hi Jachas! Thanks for the info, that’s great. This job would take minutes if I could get the car in the air… but it’s getting dragged out. First now is to build a wooden ramp, to be able to get it up in the air quickly and safely each time without the need for additional jacks/axle stands. I...

Morning Treadup, thanks for the input. I don’t think that part of the exhaust has ever been replaced, I’ve owned the car since Birth. I think those fasteners separate the actuating motor from the operating Valve inside the exhaust line…?

BUMP :) Good Morning Folks, I'm getting an intermittent Check Eng Light and fault codes, P048E 05929 Had a look at the Valve and it looks in poor order, and i'm now reading they're prone to ceasing. I would just replace it, but does anyone know how to remove it? I was expecting to see it held...

Hi TIA, As you can see, i was in quite the state myself so i'm probably not much use for giving guidance so take it with a pinch of salt, to be sure you retain your maps, get a smaller map pack, one of the UK & Western Europe ones and they should fit on your Original VW card. At no stage could...

Ok.... I accidentally fixed it! - Formatted OEM SD card. This meant Discovercare no longer saw the card as OEM and would not allow me to download maps to it! I could select the Non VW SD card selection but even though the backup/download/installation process was 'successful', the car would...

Ah i see. For Discover Media it says i need Fat32. I now have the original card back in and am trying Discovercare. Very strangely, it is now recognising it as the original OEM VW Card. When i first formatted the card, it would no longer see it as a VW card. This is encouraging. I have no idea...

Thank you TT, What infotainment unit do you have? I will try what you said as i have never tried leaving the Disk in ExFat form.

Ok i've also tried downloading the map file, approx 7GB and copying that over to the SD card. The card still doesn't recognise the card. Have i f£$%ed it completely? What i need are the steps that someone with a blank non VW SD card should have to take to install the maps. Each attempt is...

First report back - Tried to Load Europe map package to the card via Discovercare. Discover Media Gen 2 - Europe. Successful load, still not working in car. Trying the download file only - Extract to desktop - move folder over to SD card method next :(

Thanks Finglonga, this was another method i had tried and would never work, obviously because it appears i have the wrong map pack! I will report back later. Thank you for the tip.

Oh man... It looks to be the wrong pack! I was never sure which Infotainment i had, so when i was making choices on the VW update page and the Discovercare App i was choosing the car and model that looks like my infotainment display. If i choose the Discover Media, the picture above would look...

Hello TT, thanks for the reply. My unit is a MIB2 VW Discover Media i believe. P/N: 3Q0035874A The files appear as below screen grab, on the root folder.... Cheers :)

Good Afternoon Folks, I'm sure this has been done to death but i can't find any information here. I'm really struggling to regain my maps function. My maps first got a little glitchy last month and i also started to notice some new roads in my area weren't shown on my maps. Mainly driving in...

No problem fella. Funny that about the hatch drain. I guess it's the same design all over the world. It would just be nice to know about the issues before they cause damage. If there's any Mods reading, would it be ok if i created a thread of known issues, like an Index? Or maybe it's already...

Hi Gixxer, Keep in mind with my experience, i'm in exactly the best climate for bringing forward issues of moisture ingress(Ireland & the U.K.) so i guess these problems will not affect everyone to the same extent. 1. The body vents. Seems to be a common issue. Will manifest itself as water...

Certainly is. Happy out. (y)

I probably went a bit mad in the boot area with the resonance reduction material(Dynamat extreme), maybe 70% coverage. I soon learned where to put it and that it was the next layer(Noico insulation) that was going to have the biggest effect in reducing noise penetrating into the cabin. If i...

Agree :oops::) I took the doors off as I only have outdoor space to work and I didn’t fancy laying in the mud/wet gravel trying to contort my arm inside to applying the material. Each door required, sound dreading on two skins, sound insulation on two skins, speakers and tweeters replacing...

That’s the strange thing with sound, 3db is what’s required for the human ear to register change so you could say that is a tiny amount. 10db is a doubling of sound Which you could say is huge. Considering the following, * I have not yet insulated the boot area, approx 25% or the rear wheel...
