Hello,

In a moment of clumsiness I've broken the original plastic dipstick. d'oh.
Any advice on a replacement?

I see items online at £100+ which i dont really fancy paying for a dipstick, any more reasonably priced recommendations?

Or better just to buy another standard plastic one, the new plastic won't be aged and brittle?

I think you have to change the serial number. Can you do it by buying 10 credits on your set up?
I have the pro version so can't give definitive answer.

Unfortunately not. You can only change capacity and type and each of those is 30 credits each! I can get the Pro subscription for £42 so I may have to bite the bullet.

I’ve just installed a new battery that I now need to code. I have OBDeleven but I don’t have the pro subscription. I noticed in the one click apps you can change the battery capacity and type. The capacity has changed from 70 to 72 on the new battery. The type remains AGM. My question is can I just change the capacity for the car to know it’s a new battery or do I have to enter the new serial number which will mean I’ll have to buy the pro sub. Thanks for any help.

Sorry, no ideas, but I hope you get it sorted soon

Bong update,
Took mine in for a service on Monday,  vw apparently not aware of any issues after the update but will log my concerns, pretty sure thay also did a software update and not had any issues since 🤞, also quoted £400 for a new ststeering wheel so well see what happens next (out of warranty btw)

Prob a bit late for you but have you considered the all in plan? I've just taken it out £960 ish, for two years. That is for two services, two MOTs and two years extended warranty with roadside assistance. It's a no brainer if you're planning on keeping the car. Personally I think it represents great value, hence why I took it out.

Yeah had a look at it when my original ran out just couldn't justify the cost at the time and car was running solid, and now dont really plan on keeping it much longer at this point be a shame to let her go but circumstances change so if I can get by the next few months without anything major should be alright, even if I do end up needing another steering wheel £400 ain't too bad
