Now that it's cold, I'm thinking about the heated steering wheel retrofit again.
In your first post, you mention how you got a wheel with paddle shifters and deleted them since your car is stick.
My car is a DSG. Do you know how hard would it be to do the inverse? If I got a wheel from an...
Could you program the rear fog bulb to act as a brake light, only during heavy braking? I've seen BMWs do this.
What is the best resource for understanding all the light channels and hierarchy?
Send a pic of what you need. I have a complete OEM MIB unit as I upgraded to MIB2.
(PS, you can upgrade to MIB2 for $200-$300 which is totally worth it. Here's a DIY: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/diy-mib1-mib2-new-simplified-method.429122/ )
Another data point... I pretty much forgot about this issue as it was fine over the winter, and no issues over the summer.

These have about 15,000 miles from them. 288 mm front rotors for VW Golf, Jetta, Beetle and Audi A3. Performance Drilled and slotted. In great shape. They are ready to slide onto your VW. They came on my 2015 sportwagen tdi and replaced the brakes recently and am in no need of them anymore. $60...
You'll get $5,000 for it easy. Heck, mk4's go for at least $5,000 and this is a much better equipped vehicle.
If this were closer to me, I'd seriously consider it. Sell my DSG version of the same car and drive stick.
Southern 1-owner car...win/win
Couple of questions.
I have a 2015 Sportwagen S tdi. And I found on Facebook a pretty cheap 2020 Jetta heated steering wheel. So I may want to pick that up.
But:
1. Will my Lowline BCM support a heated steering wheel?
2. Do you think it's possible to have just a heated wheel and no heated...
I've actually changed the oil twice this year thinking that it may be contributing to this problem.
First I ran some Mobil 1 in it for 2,000 miles or so. Then ran LiquiMoly engine flush for 15 mins. And then put in Rowe 507 spec oil. 5w-30 of course.
One other random thing I tried.... I put...
