Whatever.....

Digging up a comment I made 6+yrs ago I consider trolling.....or stalking!... Its not like my comment was a detailed mechanical how-to guide & you're querying how I did something as you're following the guide & having problems... My view of EVs hasn't changed...I won't be getting one any time soon...my 9yr old MK7 Golf does very well for me!

Considering this thread is 90 pages long & I don't bother with it any more why did you go back & quote comment I made back in November 2017yr some 6+yrs ago?? TBH thats some trolling digging up a comment that old!

I have FLAC (right up to 192kHz 24 bit studio masters for home, & even thought I have the optional Dynaudio speaker package in my MK7 Golf, its not the right environment for high quality/perfect listening, which is why I settled for fix bit rate LAME MP3 "lossy"

Lazy on my part.... Actually a fixed 320kbps LAME encoded MP3....which is "Lossy"....the best quality you can have in MP3...

Thats the music as?...I have mine on a SD card (MK7 Golf)....one basic partition & all as lossless MP3.... The MIB systems slow down if you have lots of folders...

This is why I retro fitted the TPMS button to my MK7....only China get it!... Having everything on a touch screen is stupid, if the touch screen goes thats it how you do TPMS or even switch of the ASR/ESC in winter?...

All info in my old thread here:- How to retro-fit a bigger capacity battery to a Mk7 Golf | GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum VCDS coding required From the Main screen:- Select Control Module [Select] [19-CAN Gateway] Advanced Functions screen:- [Adaptions-10] New value choice screen:- Change the following four channels, inputting the relevant data about the new battery. IDE03256-MAS06105-Battery adaptation-Rated battery capacity IDE03256-MAS06106-Battery adaptation-Battery technology IDE03256-MAS06107-Battery adaptation-Battery manufacturer IDE03256-MAS06108-Battery adaptation-Battery Serial Number When you click on "Battery technology" (using VCDS 21.3.0) a drop down list appears with the following options (= actual meaning):- Wet = Standard Lead Acid Fleece = Standard A.G.M. Wickel6V Wickel12V Ultracap Gel = Standard Gel Lead Acid Lithium ions = Standard LiFePO4 EFB = Standard E.F.B. Binary - AGM = "Bipolar" A.G.M. type EFB+ = E.F.B. "Plus" type Not_assigned_10 Not_assigned_11 Not_assigned_12 Not_assigned_13 Not_assigned_14 Unknown According to various sources of information, including numerous car scans & threads on Ross-Tech, "Fleece" is for standard AGM batteries, "EFB" is for standard EFB batteries, & "Wet" is for standard lead acid batteries, as these settings are used at the factory. The setting of "Binary - AGM" is apparently for specialist "Bipolar AGM" batteries! Also the drop down list is from VCDS & not generated by your car's BCM, therefore, your car may not support all the options on the list, & the BCM will reject the value when you tell it to accept it! Battery BEM codes are now redundant with the above separate channels. The most important channels are:- Rated battery capacity, Battery technology, & Battery Serial Number. For the Battery Serial Number, just change one digit of the old one. This channel tells the BCM that a new battery has been installed & to relearn the new battery & forget any “learnt values” for the old battery!

One of the reasons I ordered a MK7 Golf estate as the IRS was fitted to the 1.4lt engine... MK3 Octavia in 2014 only had it on VRS, L&K & then Scout....& the 1.8lt petrol L&K had the same "MQ250" designation gearbox as my 1.4Lt...so basically hampering the bigger & heavier 1.8lt engine!...

The detailed thread on the item that I wrote a few years back.. How to retro-fit the rear subframe harmonic damper from the Audi A3 Saloon (2013->) | GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum Its just one item & two nuts, only for the cars with the multi-link rear suspension

No idea..I'm a few hundred miles away.....

The 2lt diesel version of my car, same gearbox, trim, etc..was more crashy over potholes, so much so that most of the press lot in 2014 who had test driven the MK7 Golf estate in my trim, which at the time was the top trim, wrote about it & I was ready to swap it out when I got my car delivered...a test drive in a 2lt diesel version of my car also confirmed it...then I got my car...no "crashy"... Go figure!!.. I would suggest the Koni "Actives"..basically the new name for the old FSD dampers which I had on my MK1 Fabia & ran with the OEM factory springs...perfect set-up... Koni actives are for standard springs & allow the wheels to be pushed up into the body....so soft for potholes/bumps...but resist the body pushing down on the wheels, so firm for corners, braking...

It is a well known fault..the seals fail...The full item is the aluminium impellor housing which bolts to the engine block..so the seals there can fail. Then there is the plastic thermostat housing which can crack & the seals between it & the impellor block can also fail. Whilst you have the water pump off, you might as well replace the toothed drive belt. It has a 3 stage torque down sequence for the bolts to get the correct tension on the housing & the belt!.... I have the same CHPA engine....& after 9yrs mine was leaking late last year....Put car into dealers (where I bought the car 9yrs ago) for MOT, & they didn't comment on it!...So I said what about the coolant leak?..."£100 diagnostic fee".....to which I said I know what is leaking & where from & there is a TSB for the fault!...So they asked for a photo to be sent...so I did...The Service Manager waived the diagnostic fee & the car was booked in. The bill was cheap (they did a deal on labour for me due to above & missing it in the MOT), so I won't quote the full charge. Lets just say it wasn't much more than the total parts cost! Parts cost inc. VAT:- 04E-121-600-CS, Water pump = £195.60 04E-121-605-E, Toothed Belt = £24.42 G12-E05-0A2, 1lt of Coolant (x2) = £16.80 (£8.40 each)

Look at the top of the first photo I posted..title says it all....its for when you cannot move the seat front to back as the motor has failed....you undo different bolts, NOT the ones you photographed... Correct..OP hasn't read what I posted!...🤦‍♂️
