CRP deals in a ton of OE automotive parts. They also make the factory DSG fluid for VW. Having them as a sponsor will give us access to more information about fluids than I would ever get from VW.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me on this. I really want gain a good working knowledge of VCDS, the data and how it can be used to solve issues. I will certainly be listening to your explanation of how to utilize the idle and off idle trim numbers a few more times as I dive back into the analysis. I will send yo the screen shots I have as well.
Hi,
I have recently stumbled on your podcasts and youtube videos and I am binge watching them keep up the great work.
I am looking at a 2007 jetta 2.5 5peed with 65000miles, is there anything I should look out for like is it a timing belt or chain on any common issues.
Thanks
