Thanks. That worked but I still wonder why the "Meas. Blocks - 08" function is visible but it is grayed out.

I have changed the transmission fluid on my 2015 Sportwagen DSG transmission and I have refilled it from below. I still have the car in the air, and I have followed the instruction from this reference: How to DIY DSG transmission fluid change on VW TDI or Audi TDI . I am trying to select the...

Thanks for the responses. Due to lead time and trying to get the car up and running I bought a plastic one until the next time...

The mounting flange on the housing cracked and broke off. Seems like it is a fairly common issue.

OK So my OE transmission filter housing failed when I tried to reinstall it. Are aluminum ones worth it? If so what is your recommendation? There are a couple that I see: Volkswagen Golf VII Sportwagen TDI Drivetrain DSG Transmission - 015418ecs01-01KT - DQ250 6 Speed DSG / S Tronic Billet...

My Ross Tech HEX2 VCDS cable will arrive today. Any suggestions or tips on how to learn to use it without making any unintended changes?

Any fluid recommendations? OEM, Motul, LiquiMoly?

I have a 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI that I need to service the DSG transmission on. What service tools, parts, and fluid do you recommend? Note too that I will plan on using the told on my 2015 Jetta TDI SEL. In particular ECS Tuning and ID Parts both have service kits, and I am interested in...

This is part of a post I made earlier: I have a 2015 Jetta TDI SEL and I need a new alternator for it. It appears to me that the correct VW part number is: 04B903023A and everything is out of stock or on backorder. What is up and does anyone know where I can order a replacement? Even a rebuilt...

I have a 2015 Jetta TDI SEL and I need a new (or rebuilt) alternator for it. It appears to me that the correct VW part number is: 04B903023A and anything that I appear to find is out of stock or on backorder. I did find this Bosch AL0834N which many sites say is the correct fit until I look...

OK. I need want a new tool box. I don't have all my tools in one spot anymore, especially specialty tools for the cars, the motorcycle and the mountain bikes. Trying to make a decision that is the best bang for the buck. Right now it look like either the 42" wide top and bottom combo Husky tool...

Its been awhile since I posted an update. I have been travelling a lot the past few months and the problem mostly went away, and it was't a problem to restart the car if needed. However last week, the car lacked power again and it would not return even if I restarted it. I pulled the OBDII codes...

"01M? If so, are the rpms higher than they should be when trying to climb or pass? " No mine is not an auto, it's a stick. I picked up a new fuel filter yesterday and I will change it out tomorrow. Thanks for the input.

I was thinking it might be the fuel filter. I will check on it and the other items. Still not sure why it would get worse after running for >2 hrs.

I have an '03 Jetta TDI that I bought new and now I have nearly 140,000 miles on it. Around 85,000 miles I had the soot cleaned out of the intake manifold (a little long I know...). Since then it has been running well, until recently. Most of the miles between 85K and 140K have been highway...

Thanks for the replies. I have been busy with other things and am about ready to head out on vacation so it will be a couple of weeks before I get enough time to have a good look at it. I will do it and report back.

It has been awhile since I have posted. Good to be back... I am not sure how to describe this, but when I need to accelerate quickly and I am about ready to shift, there is a noticable power drop off at about 2600 RPM. This is only a recent development and I am wondering if the timing is off...

Door Lock Recall Turns out that there are some faulty clips on the lock and latch mechanisim. The dealer "said" that there was a recall on them and they fixed it for me. I asked if they fixed all the clips on all the doors (since it makes sense that there would be a similar problem on all the...

Yes, it does have the child lock which was/is active. It won't unlock at all with the FOB or the front controls. In all cases the lock post comes up 3/4 way, but it won't fully engage and unlock. That is why I tried to "manually" pull the lock post up the rest of the way with pliers to see if I...

The rear LH door of my '03 TDI Jetta won't unlock. The lock post/knob indicator only comes up about 3/4 of the way no matter what I try. I even put a pair of pliers on the post and tried pulling it up manually, but that had no effect. The door seems to be in that "no man's land" when somebody...
