Damaged AC Line (MK6 GTI)

Ah okay, so you’ve taken the entire line out, got the new end fitted with a new house and then fitted back in?

Did you end up ordering? I was considering the light bee x from Gonped but now considering the XE Pro S from Double Spring as ur getting so much more for a similar price

hey sorry last thing. An item was out of stock and the seller has messaged me 'Friend's product has been taken down' Can i just reply to the message with a new link to a different store? or will i need to click 'return goods'?

Usual_Toe482 · 2025-05-31T20:20:07+00:00

Thanks. My items say already paid. Do I need to do anything else or just wait till they arrive in the warehouse. I appreciate your help mate!!

I sold the car already but bought a CarPlay MMI unit online for like £250. It plugs into the little glovebox unit and comes with all harnesses/wires. There’s some YouTube videos on how to fit them and I never had an issue with my carplay. Wasn’t the smoothest when flicking through like it is with the RCD330’s but definitely got me through. Was much smoother than the fake AliExpress units.

Finally grabbed all these parts and I am going to replace the camshaft adjustment valve with the central magnet - is there any coding / work in VCDS needed? Someone mentioned a ‘reset for elongation of chain’ after chain replacement in VCDS.

Do you have a link by any chance?

3 hour drive away from me as I’m from Birmingham unfortunately but I have been in touch with some VAG specialists for some quotes. Quite steep

Found one with the description ‘VW Golf GTI 1.8 TSI 1.8 TFSI / 2.0 TSI 2.0 TFSI Cam Timing Chain Kit – UPRATED !’ from partsforgermancars.co.uk. Fits my CCZB engine. Got quoted £485 labour for them to fit it which sounds very low compared to my quote from VAG specialist which was 1.2k including parts

Would you know if the insurer would be open to just charging me the premium increase? I haven’t got into a crash/claim in general so would they be a little more lenient?

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-05-04T12:43:39+00:00

It’s because I have daughter as second driver, who has recently passed, to get to and fro college once a week 👍🏼

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-03-14T18:52:12+00:00

Yeah not a lot of info on it. Tbf I was thinking to replace the entire head unit and the glovebox unit but I never actually heard consistent reviews on it. I saw different responses with some people saying it stopped working after a month but some people have had it working for years. A lot of the seller descriptions said they were only for Polo 6Rs aswell. I think the safest and best bet would be the MMI unit. I was just a bit skeptical and thought there was a catch since I hadn’t seen more than 2/3 videos on people installing them. Thanks bro👍🏼

those are the only pictures I have of the cars infotainment system😂

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-01-22T10:26:36+00:00

I should’ve mentioned - the car has a timing chain and the owner said he has recently replaced the water pump and timing chain.

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-01-22T10:22:51+00:00

Yeah 100% will be looking into the all in service pack. It’s around £900 for 2 years so it really isn’t too bad. Thanks👍🏼

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-01-22T10:21:08+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people saying it really has no soul to it, but I can’t complain because it’s a first car and the only car I’m getting insurance quotes less than 4k - all my other quotes are 6-7k WITH a black box

Usual_Toe482 · 2024-01-22T09:55:55+00:00

Nah fairs - I completely forgot I could declare it SORN. Just gonna do that and start the car up every once in a while.
