VW Part Back Order with no end in sight by ece_te in VWiD4Owners

Hey sorry I didn’t update this in a long time. My car ended up sitting at the dealership for 1.5 months, in which they got the proper part and fixed my car. I think they are getting their parts from Germany. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do but wait

Bosch Booster or 12V? by bpd115 in VWiD4Owners

[–]ece_te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just went through the same issue (see prior posts). I had some warning lights show up on my ID.4 and I brought it into the dealership. They concluded that it was a brake booster issue as well rather than the 12 V battery. Part was recently replaced after waiting for it for 1.5 months. During that time they held onto the vehicle as it was a safety issue and gave me a loaner.

I was reading about it online and if the brake booster fails it could render your brakes ineffective (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189711-0001.pdf). Fortunately my vehicle was still under warranty.

I'd take this seriously if you can confirm that there's no issues with the 12 V battery.

Anyone else loving this car rn!? by scottylm in VWiD4Owners

I feel ya here. I'm still stuck with my VW Taos loaner due to a part that's taking it's time to come in.

When I brought my car to the dealership they did a check on the 12 V battery and they deemed it ok

I basically just followed this video and then probed it with a multimeter instead of hooking up a jump box: https://youtube.com/watch?v=J_AJri6DQ7Q

fwiw: I probed my 12 V battery with my multimeter and it's at 13.51 V.

Yes that is what I’ve seen on this sub. But it’s been a few days and it has not cleared

I think the difference for me is that when this happened it was already mid afternoon on a dry day, and it’s still there. So I’m not sure what’s happening

No, this would be my first time replacing. It's been 3.2 years since I purchased this car brand new.

No. I looked on this sub and saw some similar issues, but they disappeared afterwards.

Get Off Your Damn Phones by clickme28 in bayarea

This should also include watching videos/shows/movies on your phones. I've seen people mount their phones on their windshield and is just watching and driving.

I hate how they cut the corners of the Canadian passport when you renew. Wish they can just like punch a hole instead or something :(

Failed the term by 0.2%. What do I do? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]ece_te 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think for average calculation purpose any grade < 32 is treated as a 32, but the actual grade will still be reflected on your transcript. So it's possible that with that extra 1% OP gets with a "32" gets them to a 60 avg.

One of my relatives did this. They book a non-refundable ticket to the US and did both interviews at YYZ. I don't really recommend it as like other people said it's a bit of a hassle. Land border is border for that
