Are all 2015 ea288 CRUA? How do i positively ID

Yeah 875+ parts seems reasonable last guru who did my ALH and BEW TBs got 300 each I believe, but that was also a decade ago

I knew that would be the answer I got. :) I just don’t have the time right now. that sounds like 8 hrs of labor that would probably take me 15 my local VW specialty shop is booked out but can do it for 875 labor anytime after a few weeks which sounds like about half of what the big shop costs...

Can you guys give me a quick second opinion? My 2015 Jetta just threw a serpentine belt right at 100 K. The only shop in town who can get to it right away gets $150/hr for labor. One hour labor for diagnosis. Another hour for serpentine belt and tensioner replacement. Out the door for the...

thanks guys

its must be leaking its leaving what looks like a precipitate cake thats growing what does this do?

seems like light is coming on again at low pressures when engine is hot which tells me that the pressures are lower than they were when i posted this last year at 285K miles, is that engine nearing its end? its time for a TB soon, i need to make some decisions.

suddenly, if i leave my car parked for more than an hour i need to crank like the devil to get fuel to the pump no obvious leaks.... all clamps look tight. where to look? swap return tee with new o-rings?

it checks all of the boxes on our mantra Economy - Longevity - Performance and is stupidly simple to work on and compatible with B100 biodiesel which inherently reduces PM and CO emissions by 50%, and HC emissions by 70%, all while using 80% lest embodied carbon than petroleum

interesting.... can they hit 50 mpg average without diesel? or do they use some electric 'mileage equivalent' quackery to meet their goals https://www.motor1.com/news/361821/major-automakers-strike-deal-california/

is this the same version of the EA288s in the US?
