24·
7 months agoVW does parts pairing. It resulted in me having to get a new vehicle when my steering wheel controls and air ag stopped functioning. Turns out you have to program the clockspring with the old clockspring and bringing it to VW resulted in a 350$ charge for them to say “we can’t fix this”.
Fuck VW.
I brought it there after bringing it to my preferred auto shop. Guy did everything in the book with me there and told “yeah sorry man, you’re gonna have to bring it to VW” after we watched the programmer failed multiple times.
