LOL, it's like 1.5 hours at the dealer, including diagnostic. Can you get to it from the top? No clue VW had another dumb idea.

I thought there a similar one mounted on the passenger side. Glad to hear there is only one.

ECS Tuning sells a similar one. Still cost me about $100 installed including one day of rental car. So, there's two on the head?

Dealer cost installed, $486. Extended warranty might pay for itself. https://parts.vw.com/p/volkswagen__/ADAPTER/49806460/06K121143.html

Many times the ECS website is a good source for part numbers if it's an item they sell.

I don't know about NB, but in the US dealers can almost do anything they want. They certainly set their own prices here. There is no "MSPR", and even if there was, it wouldn't matter. The reason could be, perhaps you often call for a part number quote but don't buy it from them. The system keeps...

VCDS says Telematics not found. Not even the part number, just that it's not found.

DV, is that for the MK7 or 8? I think Aussie MK8's were 2021's?

Are Golf R Engine Internals Better than a GTI?

kevin, I know how you feel. I have 3 or 4 trouble codes for my CAR-NET. It states it's unable to communicate. Well, duh, there's no 3G service anymore, so of course it can't communicate. I checked with a friend who works for VW and he doesn't know of a way. I thought about removing the...

Especially the hoses on the top of the engine near the firewall.

Are the few settings I care about, disabling the exhaust flaps and Soundaktor, and perhaps setting linear acceleration available on the MK8?

I'm only getting spots for now. I'm waiting for an appointment. If it were to blow I'd just have it flat-bedded to the dealer and rent a car. It would be an annoyance.

Interesting. I'll need to look for it. Is it accessible for a DIY?

Haven't had it diagnosed yet, but it hasn't lost enough coolant from the bottle to be concerned. Questions: I know it's most likely the water pump but what goes on them, gasket or seal? Anyone have a catastrophic failure where you suddenly lose a large amount of coolant? I do carry extra coolant...

I remember when the Odyssey's had bad trannies because a coworker had two of them. He bought a new van when it was three years and the way they were spaced apart, he bought one every year and a half. I thought he should have bought good extended warranties for them and kept them six years...

I hate it when I accidentally bumped the stalk and it activates the rear wiper.
