Thanks. I did try this option only to be told it's a main dealer job. Was quoted £262 + vat to purchase plus £70 + vat to install. I found a company called North East VAG Adaptions who were able to help. They provided the activation codes for both the App-Connect and voice control via email which I transferred to a SD card. Did a system update which took about five minute and hey presto, all working. Cost was £100 all in. I did ask what would happen if it all went belly up and they offer full support.

I agree. I have purchased some RTV silicone and will give that a go. I called a transmission specialist who suggested the same as you. He did say it shouldn't be a problem as it's not under pressure and there is no oil seal behind it. He did say he doesn't even know why it is there! If the sealant doesn't work I will try Aryldite.

Dropped the engine under-tray today to change the engine oil and filter and noticed a slight oil leak coming from the small end cap just below the gearbox filler. Does anyone know if this cap can be replaced externally or will it involve being fitted from inside the gearbox which means a strip down. 2016 2.0Ltr Tdi 6 speed manual NFZ box Thanks in advance.

Hi all, New to this forum so apologies if this has been asked before. Just purchased a 2016 Sharan 150 Nav. Tried to connect my phone to use the Appleplay feature through App-Connect only to find out it needs an activation code from my local VW dealer. I phoned them and was told it would cost £250 for this code which seems to be quite an expensive option. Does this sound about right? Has anyone managed to do this without having to use a main dealer? Thanks in advance for any help.
