Re: Dash/MFD dead

I spoke to VW initially and all they said was to bring it in for diagnostics. This along with paying to get it recovered or towed put me off to start with. The module is back in my car and everything is back to normal. Highly recommend Cartronix, the guy I spoke with on Monday was confident and know...

He wouldn't say how they opened it but told me it was a relay issue. I filled...
