    Burning smell from heat

    Yeah they told me it's backordered with no expected In stock date. I got quoted around $200 for the element and $60 for the harness. It appears to be the whole harness I'm going to get it and see how involved it is to change out if it's too much work I'll just use the end to repair mine. I'll...

    Burning smell from heat

    Burning smell from heat

    Moved the wife's car yesterday 2015 tdi se wagen and noticed a strong plastic/electric burning smell coming from the heater vents. I did a scan with the vag com and it did have some heater box codes. I'm assuming something with the aux heater melted and is melting or the harness to it either way...

    G80 needel lift sensor

    I am having an issue with the same thing, the car intermittently bucks usually when lugging the engine. I tried swapping the injector and no change. I'm wondering if it's an IP pump problem. I did check the IP pump timing and it's dead on. Not to hijack the thread but any ideas?

    P0226 no start/ other issues

    Had a car towed in with a stripped flywheel and smoked clutch, owner says it started fine then died and would not restart. I assume he cranked the hell out of it and smoked the starter then it ate the flywheel, regardless it has a new clutch starter flywheel now. Still a no start it has 315k on...
