Good evening folks, haven't been on much in the past year but I'm here to inform you I am out of the VW scene entirely and on to something else.

Looking to add backup camera to the gf's 2011 Wrangler and need to enable VIM for it all to work.
Anyone know of such a product that is as capable as VCDS?

Dreaded hard start this afternoon after work.
Drove to work this morning in -21°C , parked all day and at 3 pm it was -13. Not thinking anything I cycled the go as usual and required, after it was ready I turned the key and usually within 2-3 seconds of cranking it fires but not today.
After 4...
Just to see what the heater element in this car is like I decided to plug it in on a timer for the night.
Overall not impressed with it and can't seem to find what the wattage is.???
Timer was set for 2 hours before my alarm clock and no discernable difference in starting or temp rise.

Past 3 weeks have noticed on a cold start there's a metalic rattle like a thin pulley with a loose washer on it, best I can describe.
Car has been at dealer since yesterday morning but when I went in could they hear it so keeping it overnight again to dig into it.
Meantime I have a 2.5 gasser...
So far in 7300 km I haven't seen the rpm above 797 at idle and no fans on, egts are around 200.
When I had the CR Jetta in the first 1500 I noticed 3 regens and then about every 1000 km or so there'd be another.

I don't have to purchase any DEF as of yet due to the first fill being free with oil change but... in searching I can only find one product with a temp rating of -12°C which it does get colder here and concerned about freezing
Any suggestions?

Purpose of this thread is to inform other mk7 owners of issues they've discovered and what has been done to resolve that issue if anything.
Please feel free to comment and add your issues as well.
Added some rear bumper/hatch protection using plastidip instead of 3M clear.
A bit hard to see but the matte finish looks great and will easily peel off should I wish to remove it.

As cooler weather starts to set in around this area I've noticed that this new engine seems to warm up considerably faster than previous models.
When pre-glowing I've noticed the engine WILL NOT crank until the gp light goes out, something new on this generation.
After about 10-15 km I have...

Getting the urge yet again to purchase after owning the '13 Jetta for just over a year.
Some of the issues that I find annoying are worth the trade up to a '15 Golf;
-no option to disable TC and in winter with or without snows it's a huge pain and somewhat of a safety issue for me .
- AC: I...
As an alternative to the high cost of the 3M film application at around $400 I found this and decided to give it a go.
For around $26 you CAN achieve the same affect, only time will tell how long it lasts but for the price I can do this several times over.
