Turbo. Blue.
I wonder what you actually get if you order that lol

It doesn't say an amount and it's so cheap.

Was wondering that myself. It's popped up on a few sites.
Yeah - that's all I found too. I can't find more information than that but it looks (from the model number) to be 0w20 - so the wrong thing for the 2019 1.8 Alltrack.

I already had an oil fight with Audi back on 2000something and got the GM of the dealership fired - I don't want to go through this again.

This stuff is really cheap, but who knows what it is? Did they steal my maple syrup/Fallersleben blend made with KungPAO chicken sauce?

I'd bet that's a billing code for bulk oil. Or maybe I'm wrong and they send you a little .75oz bottle of 508.
Not taking that bet because you are most likely correct. From everything I can find, it looks like it is 508 spec 0w20.

I really get annoyed when dealers do this kind of simple stupid stuff.

The part code on the SO for my recent 15K service is G E60 020 1B DSP - 0W20 Engine Oil. It's priced at $13.75 retail, $11.38 invoiced. The CA and US codes are probably different?

Thanks - and that would be great for vehicles calling for 508 spec oil - but the 1.8 in the Alltrack requires 502/504 oils.

I seem to recall that there was a second keyfob battery that worked. We need a CR2025, but there was a different battery that had a bit more oomph that fit but was a tad larger.

What battery is that? I seem to have every coin cell battery in my battery box except the 2025....

I haven't had my VW fobs open, but... 2025s are thinner than 2032s. 20 is the diameter in mm, 32 is the thickness as 3.2mm; this is 25 as 2.5mm in the case of a CR2025.

A CR2032 has more capacity due to the extra thickness; both are ~3.0V. CR2025 = 150mAh, the CR2032 is 210mAh.

That was it. thanks. I've bought 4 2025's and swapped them out - one was a muRata battery and the rest were Panasonic - so none original - both cars were built early 2019 and the one with the dead battery was new when I bought in february 2021 while the second was first registered in Oct 2019

Thanks for the correction too - I had the dimensions backwards
