Not really sure. I think it was due to the air being too cold by the time it got back there. This is why the 4 zone has electronic heaters on both front seats.

The VW fix (due to lawsuit) to prevent clogged sunroof drains is to snip the rubber off the end of the drain hose. This makes the 1mm opening an almost 10mm opening.

I'm assuming you don't have 4 zone climate control?

If thats the case then heat does not come out of those vents. Only A/C comes out of those during the summer months.

Fuel Range Incorrect

Anyone else have this problem? I know I'm not going to get 1250 miles out a tank. Unless someone swapped a TDI into the car overnight. :)

What tool did they use to scan? Those seem like pretty generic results. Only a dealer scan tool or vag-com would be able to read all the modules in the car and give the correct "P####" codes.

I believe the service interval needs to be reset with vag-com, or by a dealer. I'm not sure if there is a special process by pushing a few buttons to turn it off on the A8/S8 models.

I believe those are all for the passive entry function. Unless all of the modules have the ability to receive a radio signal when I push the button on my fob?
