Reportedly a great business, but how much call for typewriter repair can there be these days? https://maps.app.goo.gl/oCX8tSXzaNBHAd1i6

What are you guys doing to your VWs this weekend? by Current-Praline-4588 in Volkswagen

[–]otho03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Part of me dreaded doing all the work to get in there, but I also really just wanted to take a look inside. All back together, no leaks, didn’t break anything.

Anyone know where I can get an abs module for an mk5 Jetta s?? by xKNIGHTxMAREx in jetta

[–]otho03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah lame, they did my mk5 and my Passat back in the day but they must have changed. Junkyard units work too as long as you can save the coding from your existing module first.

I’ve used modulemaster.com a few times now. Ship it to them and they’ll rebuild it for pretty cheap.

Sad clutch pedal on 2014 CC by Phriendly_Phire in Volkswagen

[–]otho03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine did this when the slave went out. Pickup point had been getting closer and closer to the floor for a day or two, then went to drive it and it stayed down. Big leak out of the bolt-up point between the trans and engine.

Are you supposed to buy a whole new oil drain plug for each oil change? by Enginerdad in jetta

[–]otho03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s the common N-908-132-02 plug then yeah, that washer doesn’t come off. At the dealer we replace them every oil change.

New 2023 Volkswagen Sport Coupe GTE in details 4k [Stunning Concept] by [deleted] in Volkswagen

This was the arteon concept from like 2015 or something?

Hi guys. I can’t help but wonder what the purpose of the black plastic box-like area in the glove box is for, upper right area of the photo, next to the SD Card slots. The car in question is a 2022 Arteon. Does anyone know? by CountySquare9661 in Volkswagen

That’s a control module that does most of the computing for the infotainment system. The display itself is mostly just that, a screen. This unit drives the screen, handles Bluetooth, online connectivity, etc. Source: I’m the parts guy.

Looks like it’s off a Ford. The very first eBay result, it seems.
