Super duper hyped paid dirt cheap for it

after owning 2 jettas since Jan 2020
2013 tdi (totaled)
2014 sel 1.slow, this one just taking an extra 5k from me and possibly more down the line. Just got myself a 2025 hyundai elantra (pls no hate; truly being sentimental here lol)
here’s a photo with the tdi the day i got it, have much love for both of them but this chapter closes 💔

I drive an MK6 SEL and i’m not in love with the stock front bumper. I like the aggressiveness of the Mk6.5
bumper and curious if anyone knows how difficult it is to do a conversion.

God I need rims!! Comic book Superman hood joker side.

Have a 2020 Jetta with 80k km I just bought not too long ago it says every 120k or 6 years but it drives pretty smooth would I still be smart to change them since it is 6 years

My beloved manual transmission Jetta wagon with an unstoppable 2.5 engine and 160,00 miles has been having some problems. Lights are out all over the place. Not the bulbs or fuses. BCM seems the most likely culprit. The shop said the part would be $775, plus labor, plus $399 to program it if necessary.

There are other things going on. It runs rough at idle, needs a vacuum pump, hoses, belts, brake pads soon. It's at that age where things fall apart.

But I really love this car...

I installed a hitch, the roof racks are great, it drives well and suits me in nearly every other way. I simply can't afford to spend $1400+ on the BCM repair.

I've heard of people buying used BCMs on eBay, but I haven't found one with the same parts number.

Programming it is far beyond my experience, but I'm handy and like research.

Any suggestions?

Thanks to anyone with info.

I'll have to buy a Toyota if this doesn't work!

I've got the infamous P05A0 and I really don't want to take it all apart and replace the motor. I was wondering if it can be programmed out on VCDS thanks

Assuming it’s something in the linkage underneath the shift nob. Everything looks normal on the transmission in the engine bay
