After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

2017 R-line 206TSI Arteon
The Turbo Inlet Elbow from 034Motorsport has been installed for a few weeks now and I can say that it is worth the cost.
The install is extremely easy. The install was the same on my car as the videos online, except disconnecting the breather hose...Yesterday, 03:28 PM -
So after trying to fix the door actuator and giving up ( long story) I went and put the door lining back on the front passenger door and close it, Now I cnan not unlock or open it either by the key or manually pulling up the button, any theories? , Thanks Ray17-06-2025, 06:23 AM
