Subject: [MBZ] OT - VW woes ---
I took the Passat in for it's two year check-up, free oil change, and a
re-call for the head light connector yesterday.
While they were mucking about in the engine compartment, they managed to
break something somehow, but don't yet know what they did. The check
engine
light stays one, and relay near the engine is buzzing constantly. They
gave
up trying to figure it out themselves and called VW tech support today,
and
were told that they had fried the main engine computer and need to replace
it.
The parts man reports that there are no new main engine computers in the
US
nor in Germany at this time. They are continuing to search for one
however.
I told them that since the car is assembled in Tennessee, that there are
indeed new parts in the US - get one. Then is occurred to me that they
have
new TDIs on the lot - if the part number is the same for the 2012 and the
2014, they can just pull one and let their car sit waiting for a new part!
Dr. Fatty, can you look up part numbers for a 2012 VW Passat TDI SE, the
main engine computer, and the same part for a 2014???
