    My 08 Passat’s battery kicked the can last week, so I replaced it with a new one. After the replacement, I got a power steering amber light and a traction control light. I know this is typical after loosing power, so I went through the process of recalibrating the steering wheel position, and...

    I spent more time trying to get the right tools to get that darned banjo bolt off the rack than it would take to do this whole procedure with an actual list of what I'd need.
