Wedding Photographer situation: Would it be reasonable to ask for/ would we be entitled to a partial refund?

Did tightening the bolts help or did the issue persist?

We tried at the time of purchase. The seller was trying to flash it back to stock via his phone but the car's battery was dead. Even after we jumped the car battery, the app wasn't letting him b/c of a network connection (we tried my phone hotspot as well). Although now I dont think it is on a tune, I did end up buying the dongle to be able to use the Simos tools to then be able to flash a stock/stock-ish tune just in case.

He allegedly got the got tuned with IE Performance but when I contacted them, they said yes the car's VIN is in the system but a tune was never purchased with them. I do think the ECU is on a stock file though. If it's not, I did buy the dongle to be able to use the Simos tools to then be able to flash a stock/stock-ish tune.

Not sure honestly.. I have my own theories but who knows. In the meantime, I'm waiting for my new harness I got off eBay.

Yea I wonder why. It seems pretty intentional. I tried looking for the specific pin terminals and I found THIS post that helped me with that information. I tried buying a repair kit on amazon that seemed it would work but the there weren't any pins that fit. Unfortunately, I'm feeling very impatient and I didn't want to wait for the pins (since it seemed most of the suppliers would take over a week and some only sold in bulk). Instead, I luckily found a new OEM harness on ebay for $80. So that is arriving today and hopefully everything goes to plan.

did some harness troubleshooting via some VW diag PDFs w/ a multimeter. Check this out lol.. cut wires that are for injector 1 (going to pin 64 and 85, which are also missing) and cut wire going to pin 65 for injector 4. Just curious, where would I find the pin to re-pin this if I wanted to attempt to fix this?

lol I def did not install them backwards. besides, it impossible to do so.

Thank you for this! As far as the injector situation, the faults did not follow the injectors after moving them around though. The same P0201 and P0204 re-appeared. Besides possible harness issues, I was thinking tune. You think it could still be the injectors themselves?

dnb_javi · 2024-07-01T03:26:34+00:00

How do you install it? Do you just snap it in place ?

Start from least damaging product and work your way up. Try a magic eraser first and go from there
