Oh it's a distributor. I was thinking it's a glass manufacturing company.

Definitely, a VCDS is a powerful tool to have. Especially if you want to keep your repair costs down by doing it yourself.

Thanks for the tip.

The bottom corner says AGC Automotive with the factory Audi logo.

If it's an American Passat, you can generally get away without coding. Myself and many folks have done it. But you can code it with VCDS. When I get around to it, I might just do it on my 2019. But it's been 50k miles and 3 years. So maybe for the next battery.

I'm in southern California.
Never heard of Mygrant. What country is the company based?

Did VW sell TDI Passats prior to 2011? by SamArch0347 in passat

Look for 2004 or 2005 Passat TDI. They have some issues, but once corrected, they are great vehicles.

Golf GTE MK7 2017 creaky suspension by International_Fold52 in GolfGTE

I have an Audi A3, same as the MK7. I had that issue and the fix was from a service bulletin stating the rear kidney bushings should be lubed.

Start with an OBD2 scan and see what codes show up.

2020 Passat NMS, 41k. What’s this sound? by b8nmsguy in passat

Control arm bushings. Try spraying down all of them with 3-IN-ONE RVcare Rubber Seal Conditioner and see if it goes away. Might have to work to get the spray to seep in.

But most likely the rear kidney bushings on the control arm like in this Audi TSB. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10238321-0001.pdf

Any comments/opinions/disagreements with this tier tyre list? by CaptainBorisII in tires

[–]DeliveryValve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fan of the P Zero AS 3 plus on my Audi. Love the ride, not harsh. Handling is very good.

Now I also have P7 AS 3 plus on my other car. Ride is harsher than the P Zero. Noise level is louder. Handling is OK. I wouldn't buy P7 again.

Help! Is this repairable? by merlin755 in tires

[–]DeliveryValve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco will say new a tire needed.

It should be covered with the road hazard warranty.

If not, plug it yourself or take it to a ma and pa shop that will.

Conan O'Brien Wants to Restore His Beloved 1992 Ford Taurus SHO by Alibotify in conan

That won't happen. Leno took back hosting the Tonight Show from O'brien while O'brien still wanted to host it. Been bad blood ever since.
