https://www.cobbtuning.com/products/acc ... v3-mk7-gti

Pre loaded with the 91 and 93 octane tunes for stage 1 and the 93 stage 2, a valet map and a “stock” equivalent that it can fast write back to. I’m not sure what they charge to reprogram it to a GoRf or an STI.

Comes with all cables, mounts and cases.

Forums have it in the 500-530 range.

450 Shipped DFD price.

FYI for all the :mk6: bros. There's another class action lawsuit regarding the water pump failures. If you paid out of pocket for repairs you can get reimbursed.

I got the letter for this the other day. I never had any problem on my MK6's, probably didn't keep them long enough.

That's surprising. Luckily my replacements were all done under warranty.

Yea, apparently pretty :unicorn: , but I've owned watercooled VW's for 33 years now and in all that time I've just had to replace 1 water pump, and that was on my '86.5 Scirocco 16V about 2-3 years into ownership. It was replaced under warranty, too.

Forgot about the accessport. I’ll get it up on eBay soon enough.

DFD price is $400 shipped, payable in cash or you could order and drop ship me some Tacoma parts.

I received it too... I think class actions are :disgust:

Also, my :mk6: water pump was fine from the 0-40k miles I owned.

:butwhy:

They seem to work for widespread issues like the timing chain tensioner and water pump. I got fully reimbursed for my tensioner replacement.

I suppose in that case it's not a bad thing... most often they are a way to trick :derp: into making some lawyers even more :waxer: by giving :derp: like $4 and fucking over some company that often did nothing :wrong: .

Like "Nutella isn't healthy and they said they were, so we will get you $2.15" (and we will get $215 million).

Yup. I only have a 60 mile/week work commute. I'd guess that roughly 30-35% of that 70k miles came from road trips.
