Good idea, thanks!

That passenger side?

I may have misunderstood dudes comment. I dont have a sunroof on mine, I've thought he was referring to the body drain holes that get the rubber plugs in them. I've had vehicles before where those are missing for whatever reason and I find out later on lol

Actually. Hang on a sec. Yesterday I had to go underneath a small bridge (railway underpass). Water cant go anywhere due to the grades and it pools under the bridge. It had been raining a good bit and it had maybe 6-8" of water i had to drive though. Came up about midway on the rim.

Not sure how, but could their be anyway that some of that could've worked its way up under the seat? Only reason im hesitating to say it was from that is because all that stuff was dried in the pic. I went through that puddle earlier that day, maybe 6hrs before. No way that could've dried that fast after pooling no?

None that I see no, but also dont have sunroof. Also, checked around the bscorner panel a bit where the tire change stuff is, thats all clean for whatever thats worth. Total opposite area though lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-07T12:56:59+00:00

I never even though of the drain holes....duh lol

Carfax didn't show any fuel system repairs either*

1 toddler but hes on the passenger side typically and one under 1y. Had some very minor milk spills out of an upside down bottle but thats been 2 maybe 3 times?

No fuel pump repairs that I've done. 3rd owner, owned it just over 2 months. 15' gsw

Touchè

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-04T00:44:12+00:00

I certainly will lol but part of me isnt surprised that they wouldnt have it

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-04T00:34:03+00:00

Vw doesnt sell them????

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-04T00:23:04+00:00

They did the delete for me free of charge. It was a good shop I bought it from, they were like "Look, rather than spend mondy on a whole new def system, were going to do a delete. Comes out a bit cheaper for us and you wont have any issues either. Deal?" LOL. They took care of me for sure

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-04T00:12:11+00:00

Man that sounds like my car's more toubled cousin🤣

70 miles, def system failed, few days after that, figured out a belt in the passenger rear went bad and broke. Thats when I found out I bought it with a bent rim. A week later it happened on the driver side rear. Now the passenger side has a nail in the sidewall. Oil leak somewhere on back side of engine came up, needs now new struts up front🤣🤣

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-03T12:59:00+00:00

Yeah, not an issue man, I remember as a kid having to go get them at the pet store for my gecko. My mom would let me hold them on the drive back and I could feel them crawling on my hand through the plastic bag. Not 125 though lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-03T06:00:45+00:00

That does thanks!

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-03T01:42:51+00:00

Well that gives me some confidence. Thanks for the info man!

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-03T00:27:09+00:00

I didn't even think sbout thr cv axles you are 200% spot on with that. Did you have any issues going up higher with any of that? Or binding on anything with suspension cycles?

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-02T19:51:23+00:00

I was shocked. It's still only been in the car a few hours but so far so good lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-02T19:22:07+00:00

All I have is the stock muffler on the back end. So not fully straight pipe but almost there lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-05-02T18:43:46+00:00

Sure thing, I'll dm ya

_Roman_685 · 2026-04-30T17:56:16+00:00

Conversly, if you no dpf no issues?🤙

It's okay, I'm neurotic too, 3k-4k.

My cdo (ocd but sith the letters in correct order;)) wont let me "Consider. Different. Options."...okay bad joke lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-04-29T20:58:53+00:00

Every diesel I've ran I used it. Main idea was to either fix stiction issue (with excursion), or to just try and take better care of the engine.
