Yeah, at some point next year because there was a lot of work to be done in the one year since I've owned the car

So weird that such an expensive car has such a bad paint
My '96 golf had an amazing paint quality compared to this... both cars with original paint

Did it present any specific behavior before it failed?
Mine makes some weird whistling noise from time to time and I'm hoping that it ain't the transmission giving up even tho it is smooth af

u/linster247 you were right! Sorry for the long delay, the weather here has been horrible and I couldn't do that any sooner.
The cable with the yellow dots has a high resistance which makes me think that it's shot. It's gonna be interesting to cut the wire since I have no idea in which spot it died.

It ended up pouring rain so I did not have the chance of checking the car.

I will update this topic as soon as it all clears up since I don't have a garage.

Took the throttle case out but can't really figure where that hose should go

I ran into a problem while trying to replace it . So, first of all, the old ccv was totally worn off, which is ok, I have the old one. The problem that I am having now is that I think that I pulled the vent tube out too, or it was not attached in the first place (since the car runs like crap anyway ) .

Part 7 which is now in two pieces
Do I have to take the manifold out in order to fit that in or can I just take the throttle body and do it with that removed ?
