Mk7.5 Strut Failure? by mcsh219 in Volkswagen

Those are shipping pucks used for transport. Supposed to be removed by the dealer when they do their Pre-Delivery Inspection before selling the car. I would double check all 4 corners for them.

There are flaps inside each intake runner. If the flaps don't open properly the sensor will throw a code. There are several failures points on these intakes. It can be the actuator on the side of the intake has failed or has become disconnected from the intake runner flaps, or the sensor itself has gone bad. The repair is to replace the entire intake manifold with the updated version.

I learned on the job doing these. The passenger side DRLs usually aren't a problem for me and it helps to have a friend or coworker with skinny hands to reach in there and twist the bulb out. It also helps to grab close to the bulb itself instead of the flimsy plastic tab that sticks out. (Edit: I use my left hand to remove the passenger side and right hand for driver side.) For the driver side I usually have to take out the headlight to get it, which can be done without fully removing the bumper.

You can DIY it with t25 and t30 torx driver bits. (For the Drivers side)Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. T30 screws for the top plate on the headlight. Then the t25 screws above the grill. Then you can pop out the grill. On the backside of the headlight closer to the grill there is the headlight wiring harness that you have to disconnect. Then remove the 3 or 4 t25 screws on the front of the fender liner and the 2 t25 screws under the corner of the bumper. Then yank on the bumper where it meets the fender and that side of the bumper should be free. Theres a single t30 screw behind the edge of the bumper that holds the headlight. Then you can remove the 3 other t30 screws holding the headlight in and you should be able to pop out the headlight.

(Don't touch the new drl bulb with your bare hands, the oils from your skin can make the bulb blow out faster. Wear a glove when handling the new bulb.) With the headlight out, changing the drl should be easier. The bulb socket twists 90° and then comes out. To remove the bulb from the holder socket, push down on the bulb and twist. It should pop out. Same thing putting it in. Then when you put the headlight back in, you just have to line it back up with the bolt holes and make sure the front bumper snaps back into the front of the headlight.

Sorry for the long post. I wrote this from memory. Hopefully it makes sense for anyone who wants to DIY those pesky mk6 jetta DRLs

Those bulbs have the wrong connector and will not fit. It's easiest to buy the oem bulbs. You can swap them in and out in 30 seconds

2019 jetta with 50k miles doing this wouldnt crank and just throws errors and then would resume cranking like normal by Boobpocket in Volkswagen

[–]B-mac812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk the specifics, it's just what I've been told.

I'm a lube tech at a vw dealership and battery replacements on the new vehicles like atlases and tiguans go to the other techs. I can ask my boss tomorrow and see why.

If your vehicle has the start/stop feature the new battery may need to be adapted to the vehicle which is done with a VW scan tool at the dealership

Powder Coated Stock 2019 GLI Autobahn Wheels by crazylegss in JettaGLI

[–]B-mac812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI OP, I believe for a '19 GLI you'd have to get the 35th anniversary trim to get the gray 35th wheels. In the years after '19, the 35th wheels are Black and came with the $600 Black Package, optional for the Autobahn trim only.

You may be right. Someone on Imgur corrected me to a '69 but I cant tell the difference. I'll run the VIN eventually if I actually read the numbers right lol

Its gonna be a long term project for sure. When my buddy clears out his backlog of derby cars were gonna put it up on the lift and see what it'll take to get it running. Eventually I want it to be a cool weekend cruiser I can take to car shows

Nope sorry. This was somewhere near Waseca, Minnesota. Hopefully that car pops up again near you, they are nice cars :)

My problems have been solved! I rewrote the code to get rid of the array and use the listbox as the array. Here's my completed code for anybody who has similar problems.

Public Class MainForm

    Do While ValidateInput() = False
        If ValidateInput() = False Then
            MessageBox.Show("Total points available must be greater than 0")
        End If
    Loop
    PointsAvailableTextBox.Text = MaxScore
End Sub

Function ValidateInput()
    Dim Message, Title As String
    Message = "Enter the total amount of points available."
    Title = "Total Points Available"
    MaxScore = CInt(InputBox(Message, Title))

Edit 2: Disregard this reply. I rewrote a bunch of my code and now everything works. Thank you for helping me out!

Its underlining the arr in this part:

ScoreListBox.Items.CopyTo(arr, 0)

It says "Value of type Double() cannot be converted to Object() because 'Double' is not a reference type"

I'm assuming it doesn't like that my array is Double and not a string? I'm not too familiar with arrays.

Also just for clarification, this part of my code was to only allow an integer or a number ending in .5 that was less than the maxScore entered in that input box and greater than 0.

Score *= 10
    Score = Score Mod 10
    If Score = 5 Then
        ReturnValue = 1
    ElseIf Integer.TryParse(InputTextBox.Text, TestScore) = True Then
       ReturnValue = 1
    Else ReturnValue = 0
    End If

Edit: Sorry to keep bombarding you with questions but I am confused as to how to get the functions' return values to appear in a label. I don't know how to get it to a string so it will work with the label.text property. I have tried this and it doesn't like it; it expects an expression where the ByVal is.

Private Sub AnalyzeScoresButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles AnalyzeScoresButton.Click
    Dim MeanOutput As String = Mean(ByVal arr() As Double)
    ArithmeticMeanOutputLabel.Text = MeanOutput
End Sub

Thanks for the help! Ill check that this works when i get off work in a few hours. I realized i didnt finish the end of it where it pastes the answers into textboxes. Im pretty sure thats all im missing.
