got the windshield replaced today at safelite and everything went well...go with VW - its really not much more expensive. ensure that the camera/rain sensor details show up with the glass version. this glass comes equip with the glass-side hardware pre-installed that allows for the interior camera housing and trim to fasten/lock into it.
Hello, I just had the windshield on my 2006 W12 replaced and it has the IR/A stamp.
I always recommend using a genuine VW oil filter.
My 08 FSI was using a lot of oil. Got the valve cover gasket replaced. Now still needs oil between changes but a LOT less.
Same, with a 2015 on stage 2 tune it can be pretty quick and on road trips with the cruise set to 70 it can pull some pretty fantastic fuel economy.
Its NOT the Brake booster vac pump lol I replaced that 3 months ago with OEM VW parts from the dealer $506 repair.
I started having some minor issues at about 45,000 miles (solved by changing the coils), and other people have had similar experience... So I change them that often.
The F revision was current as of April 2015 when I replaced all of the factory coil packs that were installed in my 07 2.5 Jetta. I had one go bad and decided to just replace all of them and the plugs while I had it all opened up.
Upon only 3 days of ownership, the alternator went out due to the battery going bad, that took out the internal voltage regulator.
Dealer informed me that my windshield was scratched at some point during the transit from Germany to Canada and offered to replace it as soon as they were able to get a new one. About two weeks after taking delivery of the car I brought it back to the dealer for replacement. I was worried and apprehensive they would screw something up, but went ahead because the scratch was quite big, noticeable and right in my field of view on the drivers side. Came back at the end of the day to pick up my car, and my worst fears were realized. Plastic around the mirror was all chewed up from installer trying to pry it apart with a screwdriver I assume. Both the driver and passenger pillar trims were all chewed up from when they were cutting the old windshield out. To top all that off, they put way too much of the sealant on the new window, so when they pressed it in it oozed onto the pillar trims on the inside of the car. Total butchers!!
