no-engage symptom only and no pressure readings it isn't worth guessing.

I don't know if VW will spin an empty system or not.

I have a hose/gauge thingy for R134 cans.  I could see if it has any pressure I suppose.

AC pressure = 0psi

Drove this machine a lot last week.  Goes down the highway 80mph straight and smooth which I find impressive for a car with 230k that's had the rear end of the car welded onto it lol.

Ruh roh

I have some on the shelf but if I can't replace it it's not going to be available.
I last stocked up at BJ's off the shelf in Henrietta for a totally normal price in late spring. Maybe holler at Arie and see if Hahn has stock if it's really limited for some reason?

Pretty much any decent diesel oil is fine, these don't have the fragile camshafts of the later TDIs that need the super fancy oil.

I interchange Delvac 1300, Rotella T, or any name brand that meets the somethingsomething 5 spec

Yeah, I'll have to look for something else.  I have a half gallon of Delvac so I wanted to stick with it.

In the sun visor? I don’t know where the switch for those is. Dumb failure!

Yes.  The switch is the mirror sliding door.  It flickers if you operate the door or move the visor around so likely a pinched wire in the visor harness.  It does shut off with the key luckily.

550cca was low spec to begin with if that was true from our texts.

Yeah, I looked it up on Rock Auto while I was ordering parts and they spec 650 or 750.
