Welcome! The beauty of coming in with a Mk4 is that you can search for anything and everything in the forums and likely find it. Except the hover conversion package that was supposed to come out in 2015. Never really saw that come to fruition. Great place to find a TDi "mentor". Lots of the...

Thanks! Guess I'm gonna have to do it. I've taken apart a few dashes. Just need to compile the parts list. Are we still using "VAG dash Com" (VCDS) on the Mk7s or some other interface? Sold (or gave away) my old VAG cable years ago.

3.5 year bump. So what I'm understanding (based on old intel) is if I don't do my own work then get my GSW serviced somewhere west of Haymarket, or when I'm visiting my kid at JMU.

I'm back after 10 years. So much has changed, I'm basically a noob/newb again. Glad to be back, ready to learn. Originally joined while living in Washington State. History: TDi - 2002 A4 (2002-2004); 2005 A5 pkg2 (2005-2006); 2001 A4 (2005-2006); 2012 A6 (2012-2013). VW gassers - 1989 Mk1...

Thanks for defining the acronym. I think the A5 job took 3-3.5 hours. I suspect this is a day's labor requiring a sixer at the end. I feel like Han Solo coming out of carbonite hibernation. I've been out of it for a little while, and all of a sudden Kerma is an actual brick and mortar company.

Guess who’s back in a TDi. Is Aaron (BleachedBora) still around?

BCM… beam control module? As in replace the switch? I’ve been out of the TDI game for so long, I feel like a noob again.

Any luck? I remember for the MkV that a parts list with a detailed how-to was published here (in 2005). Maybe I should look at VWVortex?

So, after a month+ what’s your opinion of the “new”GSW?

Bought it and drove it home. 2015, SportWagen S, bone stock, smells new, 48k on the clock.

Too rich for me, maybe if it was a TDi Phaeton with the same mileage.

Still around? -James

Go back to Evergreen you hippie! Wait I went there too! Doggie, you can't smoke industrial hemp, or so they told me at Evergreen. Isn't the Constitution and Declaration of Independence made from hemp parchment?

Now if the WORLD'S LARGEST Naval base could get deisel at the pump! Hey, does anyone know if CITGO/CHAVEZGO is still supplying the NEX with fuel?

Whenever you sell/buy on an enthusiast site, the sellers want top $ and the buyers want to get a great deal (like finding a mint '72 BMW 3.0CSi in a barn for $3k). Sometimes it helps if the seller and the car are known to other members, but not always. We sold our 2005.5 A5 Pkg 2 back to the...
