    MIB2 firmware update tutorial (VW Audi Skoda Seat download links)

    I am really curious on modification to force updates as Mr-Fix has hinted at. What would I need to look into? My stereo often locks up and is on MU 0757 but mib helper says it can take MU 0879. Keep getting "variant conflicts" because I'm variant: 17258. Any help or Ali headunit time?

    Any alternative handbrake handles?

    I messed mine up during a Dieselgeek pin install and need to replace. I can replace it for $50 for an OEM from the dealer BUT, I like the look of the metal one from ECS just don't want to deal with them. As a third option I can but a cover from amazon, Any other ideas?

    This is very upsetting, he was a super great guy! Helped me with my car problems and other dumb questions without telling me they were dumb questions lol.. I'll miss the "Master of the VW" 😭 Edit: Just read the eulogy and I'm crying at 6am. He was an even more awesome person than I thought.

    MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

    I wanted the TTRS clutch swap for my MK7 gti but it has doubled in cost and I might as well go Ringer SMF at that price. Anyone got an idea? I need a flywheel because reusing sounds sketchy for my first manual and slipping is going to be happening for the next few months.

    MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

    Had an idea to use a universal style diffuser on my gti and wanted input. I drew up what I'd have in mind and a Pic of the diffuser. Only concerns is the silver plate would be OK to mount to and how close can this material be to the exhaust without issues. Thoughts?

    New Garrett Turbos for MQB

    If the nuts are coming loose, should we check these before install, like check torque specs or something? Or is it a all at once failure kind of thing? Sorry if dumb question.

    Car wash, cylinder 2 misfire?!? P030200

    It's just that my cpo warranty is up in January but I absolutely hate dealers due to this loonnngggggggggg story. It's why I'm doing everything I can trying to resolve it to avoid that shit show again. I doubt my engine or head is bad but just covering my bases.

    Car wash, cylinder 2 misfire?!? P030200

    Stored no light. Tho I had a light once after a car wash but no other time. I'm currently following a recommendation by my friend the audi mechanic to use what believe to be an excessive amount of injector cleaner through my tank. If it comes back he thinks it's a vacuum leak.
