  1. Fitted an ali express klr to mine. Been golden since. Im in warranty but could not be bothered with impcometent dealer techs or warranty coverage which comes with diagnostic fees. Plus 2 x 30 quid courtesy car costs. This is my last vag car.
  2. 18in goodyear tyres, i now get a resonance at exsactly 52mph when turning. I turn the radio up. Back to mich next time.
  3. Buy a burtec memory module for start stop
  4. 21 plate mk8 here and still on 1896. Might be the last major update available for my model year as have had some small updates only the other day but no 19xx update.
  5. Might have a gremlin. Can anyone check there 8r for the same please. I am not able to adjust the brightness of the door card leds. The slider (top left button) does nothing. All the other sliders work.
  6. Can someone with obdeleven and a non tuned engine ecu/dsg on a 8R please check the "number of programming attempts" in "advanced identifcation"? A freind is looking a car and it is showing as 1 for engine and 1 for dsg. We are wondering if this normal, due to a dealer flash or due to a previous third party tune. I know there have been a lot of updates for these cars due to bugs so hoping its the former.
  7. Head does not need to come off. But depends on the tech and the tools/knowledge they have...
  8. Long time no speak! Have been enjoying the 7.5 but not fettling so have stayed away. Been to look at a mk8 R at a vw dealer today. It would appear the car was not specd with heated seats. Salesman is telling me they can be activated for FREE via a VW app...any truth or sales talk? Secondly, I know a few earlier cars avoided the luxury road tax provided there were little to no options. Apparently anything after August 2021 though is stung. Odd as looking up a another R registered on DVLA website, first registered October 21 does not have the additional rate specified. Why is this? first car (high tax) - only option appears to be lapiz colour and 19s second car (low rax?) - only option appears to be lapiz colur - standard 18s
  9. Its working fine. Certainly hasnt caused any issues this time or in the past on this control unit. But i agree. I have done some more reading and i have edited the post to be safe.
  10. Updating this thread. I changed the oil in my haldex today. Seems obdeleven has changed or the Mk7.5 is different from the Mk7. new instruction for pump bleeding/relearn is: (22) AWD -> Basic Settings -> Pump motor> All adaption values The output tests did not work, you dont need to use them anyway if you run the bleed/relearn procedure above as you will hear the pump working during the procedure.
  11. Getting the vw dealer to acknowledge there is a fault with the valve seals will be your problem. They will prob throw other parts at it first. Take plenty of videos to show them.
  12. That's either oil or coolant seeping into on or more of the cylinders. It certainly isn't normal I'm afraid so don't let them fob you off. Mine did the same but only on cold starts and it was more blue smoke. I had the valve stem oil seals replaced and its perfect now. Given yours is hot starts as well this would point to coolant as it will be under pressure after engine off meaning it will accumulate quicker than oil does.
  13. Let me guess. Your car is a 7.5 2017/ 2018 These seem to be the cars affected.
  14. No car was 4 years old. I had to pay 1600. I used a vw specialist.
