Re: After market replacement suggestions for MIB2

I think it's an app issue. Everything else works fine, the system talks to the car fine.

Re: Fuel filler flap not opening

The part number on the invoice was 06J141015JX and they said they supplied and fitted a new clutch and refitted the gearbox. It was in the dealers for just o...
