you have spent this, offered to pay people, I just can't understand why this is not in a workshop & done by now ?
When you're not in the car & it's 'hot' do you walk round in an air conditioned bubble ? , just asking because you seem to be using it as a sympathy tool.
Most of us bought VAG as we got tired of a reach around by shops and dealers. LIN bus, CAN and the rest all greek to him, but he is trying.
I never got the opinion he was asking for sympathy, but could be wrong, YEAH, I hate dealers and finding quality shops is tough. From what I read there are some serious players here, ROBINSKI included, I wish him well.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish, (I.E.using Vag) can now help himself, and yes some times dealer has to be used, GOD FORBID.
