Clearly you don’t work on your own car or have been on the business side of a dealer. I’m sorry but some of these things are not as cut and dry as you make it sound. If the dealer rebuilt an engine or something more complex the I would agree with you. Have you ever replaced a wheel bearing? They...

Well the next question is how could you prove that? Cars can break brand new. Your post makes no sense. That’s why the technician will test drive the car to verify everything is ok. With a problem like this most likely a decent 10 mile road test was done. If the wheel bearing was installed wrong...

Shit happens bro. The fact you are so hell bent on this “law” and forgetting the fact is they did the most important thing and fix the mans car. Like I said it could have gone a lot different. Like a few people here have suggested maybe reaching out to the service department maybe it was never...

haha I feel bad for anybody that works on your car. Let it go dude. They fixed his car for free end of story. They didn’t have to do that. The guy should be grateful they took care of It. Not make a ridiculous post like this.

No it’s not flawed. The dealership made a mistake it seems in diagnosing the issue. Happens all the time you have humans working on cars it’s just how it is. That is very true new parts can have defects which is why I suggested to try and ask the dealer if extra work was done to get the correct...

So you mean the parts you didn’t pay for won’t be covered under a 12m/12k mile warranty? You didn’t pay for them anyway and your car is out of warranty. I’m not sure the point of this?! Maybe just give them a call and ask if anything else was replaced. You can just make something up and say you...

thank you appreciate the reply

how long did your order take to get? I’m going on a month with no notification of shipment. Maybe that’s normal.

Are you doing the work yourself or having a shop do the install? The reason I’m asking is because your mileage is so low the chances of you developing noises are low compared to someone with higher mileage naturally. I do my own work so I’d take the chance and just throw the springs on and worst...

Anthony I’d remove them. I don’t see many people using the pads on DG springs on mk7.5 cars. I’m not even sure about mk7 honestly. Your shocks should not effect ride height at all unless somehow installed incorrectly. Also your front springs have most likely settled since installed so now you...

Anthony there are upper shock mounts that would be considered a wear item similar to the front strut mount. If you went through all the trouble to install new shocks/struts and front strut mounts why not purchase the rears as well? Other than that honestly maybe your mechanic just needs to...

I was referring to this Just because I mentioned APR and how they do it doesn’t mean I won’t be happy if someone else doesn’t do it exact same way as them. I just prefer no faults and no dash icons which is what APR has done. If maybe EQT can completely disable like it never existed I’m all...

Ha I wish it was that easy. They won’t let out any secrets.

🤣 that’s not true at all. Don’t assume things my man maybe stick to what I’m actually asking. APR didn’t do anything physical/hardware change to make it work so I assume others have the capability to do it as well. The only reason I even brought up APR is because they figured it out that’s it! I...

Ha, gotta pay to play sometimes right?!

I understand what you are saying and agree it’s built into the modules and can be adjusted. These aren’t really options it’s more parameters you are changing to trick the system into not functioning. This is perfectly fine I’m not knocking this method in any way. I simply asked about if what APR...

No benefits just personal preference. I’m not here to make anyone agree with me I was simply asking a question on if this might have been an option for someone that has been tuned by Ed since this is an EQT thread. I have both OBDELEVEN although I prefer VCDS or Vagcom as I know it as I’ve been...

You are very correct sir. Just some mods are more thought out and more OEM+ in nature than others.

It’s completely different from what everyone is doing actually. When I start my car the system is turned off as if I pushed the button. I can turn it on and off and it functions just like OEM. APR has simply defaulted the system to off instead of on every time the car is started. I get no faults...

There is nothing OEM about using VCDS or OBDELEVEN to disable it. Unless I’ve missed a new way to code it out basically the current way is a hack. You are telling the car false info so the system never activates. If there is a different way than that then I’d love to hear about it.
