Before you go ordering parts try blasting out the area between the tone ring and sensor with brake cleaner and compressed air. Sometimes it's as simple as gunk built up on the sensor.

Fuchs titan Sintofluid is the oem oil at a cheaper price, I'd go with that. The oem oil is weird, it's closer to 75w80 in terms of viscosity.

Bright leds in the door lights work pretty well. Much easier than an actual retrofit too.

I'm sure you could get it repaired for much cheaper than a reman. Try contacting someone who repairs cluster lcds and stuff, it'll be a piece of cake for them.

The oil level sensor is one of those parts where you'd be better off buying used oem than new aftermarket. Oem brand is hella, don't buy anything else.

My sport struts lasted a whole 10k with h&r race springs. When I pulled them there was zero damping left. Anything milder will last longer but is far from ideal.

In the meantime I've found that tapping the hazard button gets it to flash. After a few minutes of this it starts working again until you park it. I'd go with new aftermarket switch though, it's only a matter of time until it dies and a used switch is already at least a decade closer to its death.

At the moment I'm using an 01 a4 manual harness with an 02 or 03 passat ecu flashed with an awm a4 bin. I bought an 04 passat auto harness at one point but decided resell it instead of cutting it up. It was basically identical to an 01 a4 harness, I don't know where you're getting the VSS idea...

Never heard of AWT, what are the specifics? (power/tq, wideband or not, vvt or not, etc) As far as I know all these variations are basically identical electronically with the biggest difference being the ECU tune.

I've done this conversion myself and any year b5.5 passat works, at least in the north America market. I bought an auto '04 harness at one point and it was basically identical to its equivalent b5 a4 harness.

You wouldn't even have to weld that, if that's the worst damage they have it'll be an easy job.
