Purchased OEM VW Charcoal Lined Cabin Filter / Fresh Air Filter and OEM VW engine Air Filter for $40 from ECS Tuning. Installed at 102k miles.
SLVRon got back to me (guy who had the steering replaced under warranty) Yes, I had the steering rack replaced about a month ago and that seems to have resolved the issue.
Looks like the guy on the other thread had steering stuff replaced by the dealer.
I just had my 80K-mile service at Niello VW in Sacramento, where three Phaeton-certified techs are on staff. The timing belt is included in the 80K service, which was a little over $1,200.
My heat was getting weak again,so I just did another flush with HOT vinegar water mix 50/50. blow out with a bit of low pressure compressed air, flush again with the same solution, reheated again. Lots of gunk came out. Heat is good again.
I also wanted a set of foglights - again, had them in the Sonata but not here. In another stroke of luck, DBVeeDB (check out his build, it's aces) had moved on to projector fogs and sold me his stockers.
The starter in my GTI died and I had to push start it. It worked fine but I had a few lights on the dashboard (ESP and something else I think). The starter was the only thing wrong with the car so I think the lights were related to not turning the key to start it.
I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.
So it looks like VW has stripped away a lot from their 2017 models, mainly the Beetle and Jetta. The GLI is down to one trim and no options again. They even removed the Bi-Xenon headlights.
Can verify: B7 NMS Passat headlights are complete garbage. Aftermarket HIDs are almost required.
