Well, someone needs to get rid of the service manager at Checkered Flag. My friend just went in to get a failed coilpack on his 1.8T looked at. They said they have to hook up the VAG1552 to diagnose, but since he had an aftermarket stereo, he would have to fork over $70 to have them remove it before they could scan the ECU! WTF?!?!

He ended up taking his car to Greenbrier and Dave is gonna help him out!

Even if the stereo does prevent the ECU from being scanned (sounds pretty silly to me!), it doesn't take an hour to remove a deck!
