after getting a pretty nasty cut a few years ago, i just covered mine with a piece of black electrical tape. i'd totally forgotten about it until i got that letter last week. But with diesel being $5.15/gallon, i'm not in any hurry to take it in for the recall.

507 oil is getting harder and harder to find, and getting very expensive, too. My supplier for filters put an order in in October and just the other day got a call to tell them "it's processing now." No indication as to when they will be delivered. I got an extra oil change kit from ID parts...

I've been trying to find a video on how to do this on the 2015 and it doesn't seem to be available. Anyone done this and can provide a "how to?"

found a video... i think i'm good now. thanks for your help!

follow up... I have the terminal remover tool, and I slid out the blue retaining clip, but those terminals don't seem to want to release. Is there something else I need to do before they'll pop out?

Ah! excellent! thank you!!!

I can't figure out how to post a picture here. keeps asking for a URL and I have it on my phone.... Let me try explaining this again. I broke the D connector while I was trying to get it separated from the MAF. So I have the replacement part. I can separate it from the MAF no problem. The...

no. the other side. I'm going to see if I can post a picture...

the "D" connector has a mushroom shaped end. It plugs into the wire harness. I can't figure out how to get the two apart. If there is a special tool, or how to make one, I guess I gotta keep digging to find it... Thanks for the direction.

actually, my issue is with the other side. There is an oval, mushroom shaped end that is plugged into something. I can't seem to get that part out.

I'm stuck. I need to replace the MAF electrical connector (on the other side of the MAF). Any videos on how to do it? I guess it's one of those "D" clips. TIA.

dwiesel... that is one sexy little beetle! love it!
