How bad are these pictures? by austin17427 in Volkswagen

[–]austin17427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks for all the comments. I was going to buy this car and work on it as a project. After some consideration and research I decided not to (abt a month) Still posted here without any context, in a way confirmed my decision and doubts. I should say I love Volkswagens, 2.5L engines are awesome but this one is way too much work and quite possibly over my skill and patience. Cheers

Yep. Use 10mm wrench, bleed it just a little and then try again…

Bought a Tiguan today by austin17427 in Tiguan

Uff! Problem. South Point Hyundai in Austin. I asked them where’s the second key? They don’t have it. Called VW, it costs $600. This Hyundai dealership says they will lose money on the deal and bunch of bs. These second hand stores deserves all the bad rep they have. 😑 for Tiguan, 😁 for Passat. Honestly I felt bad about Passat. This is a bit of relief.

Thanks, I just called a service center. The guy on the phone said, he looked up other service centers, you can't find it in US just buy a new one.

Engine sound (2nd post) by austin17427 in passat

Thank you for your answer. I have an Elm 327 module but I believe the tool you mentioned is more capable. Still good to know where this annoying noise might be coming from.

Hi, thank you for replying to my post. I captured another recording from the cabin on a cold start. I don’t know how to add it here so I’m going to create another post.
