    @gamaz if this is still interesting for you. Your donor part should have a white backside (hardware gen. 1) and should come from a donor car with a non-VEA engine and automatic transmission. TFT DIMs with black backside (gen. 2&3)are not fully compatible with your car and might not work as expected.

    Hello, sorry for the late reply, odometer says 189k km which I've checked both with vida and vdash, don't think it's been used for towing. Only today could I find the opportunity to crack the level plug, I'll upload a picture of the fluid on a bit of paper - looks bad because some filth from the undercarriage wiped away onto the paper. DEFINITELY due for a change (which means the previous owner lied about changing it) but somehow it smelled the same as my jug of Aisin ATF 6, zero off-smells or anything of the sort. Is a professional flush the way to go now or is a drain and fill safer and see where we go from there ? (I have to use an imgur link since it's barely over the attachment size limit, sorry) https://imgur.com/a/sjmVtUG

    @Olo Check/clean the tmap sensor at the intercooler. Do a smoke test of the whole intake, on all charge pipes and the intercooler. Also check the fuel lines for leaks. You have either a boost leak, a clogged/defect tmap sensor or too low fuel pressure. Depending on your milage it could also be a dripping/ leaking injector.

    Hi!
    My CCM module has started giving me trouble—specifically, the fan speed adjustment knob doesn't increase or decrease the speed when I turn it, though it does start working again intermittently. At one point, the module's LEDs stopped lighting up entirely (for instance, the A/C LED—which is orange when off and green when on—wasn't lighting up at all), yet the A/C itself still works: pressing the button turns it on, and pressing it again turns it off. Basically, that’s the issue. I’m thinking of replacing the CCM with a used unit. Is it possible to buy one from a salvage yard and swap it in? What else do I need to keep in mind here? The CCM supports ECC, so I plan to look for a replacement that has all the same buttons and is identical to mine.
    Thanks!
