has anyone else had battery issues for the key fob, in trying to find a CR2025 that actually works? Only one of my last strip of 6 worked, it is now dying so i got a pair of Duracells, and both of them don't even give me a LED flash. Properly situated, + side up etc etc...

CR2032 fits and lasts longer too.

I bumped up to a CR2032 as well and it has been working great and lasts a long time (no kessy here though, so they tend to last longer in my poverty spec 2015). Cover of the fob is a bit tighter of a fit, but once it snaps in, it's good. I usually pick up a couple of packs at Ikea whenever we go to have on hand.

I had a 2032 in my bag of bateries but it couldn't get it to sit in the battery recess.

Hmmm... Maybe the fob is different in ROW versus NAR vehicles?
just managed to get one in - it won't sit in the recess, so you have to put the cover on, close it a bit and try and lever the battery down a bit, then takes a bit more force to snap it all closed. worked though, locked/unlocked no prob. got a couple replacement 2025s on order, if they don't work either i'm going to give up on that spec, no idea why they're so problematic.

Typically just old and crusty bearing grease. CV shafts have needle/roller bearings and that grease gets old, like everything. No need for a new axle. You can just clean it and go.What kind of CV axle leak is this (Golf R, Driver's side)? On my old MK5 I had the boots tear and leak, but the boot is intact... it seems to be coming from a seal? Would I need a whole new axle?
Found it while I was doing my oil change....
