Hi all, Getting conflicting info on this. CVCA engine throwing codes for a bad pressure differential sensor. I am going to use a multimeter to test the wiring to make sure that is OK. Assuming I just need to swap out sensor 1 (intermittent open circuit and implausible codes p0471 and p0474) do...

OK I like that idea. What press did you get?

Three different shops at different times both could not get that corner perfectly aligned whenever I got a new set of tires and speculated that the arm may be bent. I assume they checked that the bushing looked OK but it could just be the bushing. In any case, my plan is to just replace the arm...

I have been shopping around on FCP Euro and VW's parts site (just for the part #s) for suspension parts as I am planning to change struts/shocks/springs/sway bar links/ball joints/control arms (two different places told me one is bent), etc. and have seen references to standard and sport...

Light bulbs routinely burn out as they are designed that way and it's a commonly understood and known concept. Tires tread wears out as they are also designed that way. So does oil and oil filters. A failure of two light bulbs at the same time leading to an accident, while very unlucky, I don't...

I bought an OEM crank position sensor with the intention of replacing it while doing the 160K mile service. Bunch of videos and stuff show that it's hard to get to but can be done. After looking at it's location I decided it would be best not to try to do it myself as I was working on the car in...

That is awesome, glad it worked out!

I apologize for striking a nerve. I did not come onto the forum to solicit for a lawsuit. I’ve been a huge diesel and car enthusiast since I was young. I grew up with a W126, W201, Audi 5000 and ALH wagon all diesels and had two TDIs of my own before owning my third and current, a 2015 Passat...

There is no bright line standard if that is what you are asking for. Generally speaking, if enough people have a certain issue and there’s commonality between them they can ask for a case to be certified as a class action. I never fully understood or took the time to read about what the CP4...

I’m not trying to chase after anything, I just noticed that there are so many damn failure points on so many of these cars and since many other manufacturers have lawsuits regarding the CP4 pumps, I was surprised nothing has yet been done with respect to the VWs. But if they are less failure...

Bosch, VW, the dealer who sold you the vehicle, the dealer who denies you the warranty work, all of them would be potential defendants in the case. You sue them all and let whoever believes they do not belong file something to say they are not the correct party. Bosch might argue that if they...

Thank you to both of you for your input. This is helpful context

Ok so I found this which is interesting: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2011/INCR-EA11003-61863.pdf Apparently because there are numerous warning signs as the pump is right about to fail (as opposed to a random stall out of nowhere) it’s not a safety issue so NHTSA closed their investigation...

Hello all, As many folks are aware, the CP4 pump has a problematic design which can lead to some serious damage to folks’ fuel systems. Something I have noticed is that there is quite a bit of litigation in the US against companies like Nissan, GM, Ford and FCA as well as recalls like the one...

Yikes! That mechanic should be on the hook for this and any future repairs that would be covered under the warranty that he apparently voided for the next whatever amount of miles/time that the warranty would have had.

if not under warranty, get VCDS and scan your car to figure out what DTCs are there and then go from there.

This may be a silly response but with the vents, sometimes the two middle ones don’t blow air depending on the setting you have it set to. Have you cycled through all of them to verify?

Bought a CPS and poked around when doing a DSG service and decided this was not for me. Local VW shop swapped it out for me and the car runs perfectly again. I still have a new OEM CPS if anyone wants $60 shipped. I tried to get this covered by dieselgate but they couldn’t replicate it. Fair...

Can confirm that the software update will fix he radio issue
