My replacement screen Tech from the windscreen specialist company knew exactly what to do, had reference to the correct instructions and his company sourced the exact replacement screen, from VW stock against the car's VIN.
Pros: sourced exact replacement screen
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
It's a known problem with knocking brakes on the off rear of B6 passats. To fix, remove the caliper, pull out the top and bottom did pins and half fill with a heavy grease or copper grease into the holes the slide pins slide on, refit and no more noise! Just did mine last week.
Pros: no more noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
For the most part I got little random things taken care of on this, door handle gasket, antenna and gasket, a new cowl screen, and I upgraded to a cabin air filter.
Pros: upgraded cabin air filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
My water pump was replaced, I was given a loaner and some financial compensation ($599.00) towards the auto loan.
Pros: financial compensation, loaner car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I really didn't think changing the fuel filter in my GLI would make much difference, particular seeing as the fuel inside the old filter looked perfectly fine. But wow, after a couple days, what a difference. I'd had some slowly-worsening issues with throttle response, particularly at low speed -- starting from a stop while engaging the clutch, or accelerating at low speed in gear. The car would bog a bit and then surge, unless I modulated the clutch and gave more throttle than I really should. Those problems immediately went away after the fuel filter change. This was at 55,000 miles. I think I'm going to have to start changing the fuel filter at about 40,000.
Pros: improved throttle response, fixed bogging and surging
I had my intake manifold done at 18k miles, now 10k miles later the injectors went and are getting done.
Pros: intake manifold replaced
Cons: injectors failed
Mileage: 18000 km
