The Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread

So does anyone have any experience buying color matched spray paint online? and from which company if it was good.. I have a carbon steel gray mk6 and I know the code is LA9W but just wondering if anyone has a company they recommend buying from.. want to color match my rear reflectors below the LED's cause I just got new LED dark tails and just take off the tint on my side markers and paint those as well.

scratch wizard was pretty good.

Already tried that. Looks to be the N80 Valve? Is there a DIY for our cars

this has a video on it.. im not sure if thats the right part it doesnt list the TSI so the video may not be of help... iirc someone said you have to remove the intake manifold to change the valve.


EDIT
Yep i lied.. That link is for the FSI

ok - ive read multiple thread saying that just replacing the gas cap, a far cheaper option, is the fix for this code sometimes.

Where does one source a gas cap? Same situation as you lol. Every time I fill up my car might or might not shut off the first time running since the full up.

Might be fairly universal. I lost a gas cap on my mk4 and the dealer wanted like $50 for a new one so I drove to advanced and bought one for $8.

i stand corrected. the N80 valve itself it cheaper than a replacement OEM gas cap... but i imagine there are lines that need to be replaced as well so that may push the cost above the replacement cap.

Why not? I mean look at how silver it is. Plus it's got a B on it. I bet that stands for Baller!!
