    As a computer and network technician, I can totally reassure you, that plugged in cables and connectors in fact do change locations over night without any kind of human interaction. Depending on where you live, it may either be faerie circles, leprechauns, energies from waterveins or just a disturbance of the force. It is simply a pain, to go through all the wiring, searching for what has been messed with, includung checking all the stuff that hasn't been messed with and to check if it really hasn't been messed with. Great diagnostic and I'm sure, this won't be the last electrical excorcism we have seen on this car :)

    As a network engineer who dealt with system replacement and rebuilding unreliable rats-nest racks of servers slapped together by impatient Microsoft certified and college graduate "engineers" I can assure you that the better things are labelled and documented, and not touched by incompetents, the fewer the number of mis-connections are needed to be fixed by good technicians. Whatever was "saved" by having a doofus work on this VW, was lost on wasted owners time and Pine Hollow fixing what was screwed up.

I'm going with someone tried to install/fix the stereo, blew a fuse, got frustrated then began swapping fuses, forgot where they were and just left it. May not have been the owner. It also goes the other way. The information you impart may have nothing to do with the problem and lead the mechanic down the wrong path. EricO has had this many times.

    Interesting analytics again. Top job since you are no VAG specialist.... albeit I do not like the word EUROTRASH.... The typical story with these cars is, DO NOT mess with them if you have no clue... VW techs have some serious training plus need experience to fix these cars. Regular workshops can never fix them properly with regular tools... or should invest your kind of Sherlock Holmes diagnostics and spend the time to figure it out like you do... respect! Most dealers do not invest nor the time nor the training to properly educate their dinosaur technicians. A VW is for sure more complex than any US GM product but there is logic in the madness 🙂 PS... ALLDATA is nice but revisions are not always up to date or complete. I refer to the VAG databases, but I understand you cannot have all the subscriptions.

Also a problem added when the owner doesn't say all the story or know what the previous "technicians" did. Takes more time than normal to find all this messed things for sure. But at the end, if you find them always is a good point on the owner that sees you are a competent tachnician. Well done Ivan, great job.

I mean what could go wrong putting a 25amp in???? hopefully they have a fire extinguisher in the car and the source is hittable lol otherwise that will be a lovely scent of burnt toast in its future.

    Definitely charge the customer the customer was playing swaptronics and unplugged the fuel pump. The person that was there was not the owner, did not know what the owner did. You have to know the whole story if the customer wants it fixed.

    I have no patience for grown men who have wives, families, jobs, houses, life responsibilities that dictate that the game playing a 12 year old child's, Speak no, See No, Hear No, Do No denials are any part of a healthy mental disposition. I don't mean that I myself personally turn into an impatient person emotionally, just that my scope of this "Man-Child" and the way that I address them Adult to Adult changes considerably. I now focus into the phycological Adult-Child relationship such as I'm an adult here raising someone else's kid. I've passed over more than 65 years of life.... I also own a public relation business and I have met so many, many "Man-Childs" in my life over the last 20 years that I honestly do not believe it myself and one thing I have noticed is over 95% of the time... these "Man-Childs" are all of a specific age, gender, race, country and social class. I'm not being prejudice or racist or anything... matter of fact, they are the same race I am.... The denial of mature responsibility by these man-childs is absolutely beyond imagination.

    See? the car is not euro trash. The problem was people touching things they shouldn’t be touching. Been a VW technician for 20 years…. Seen this multiple times where fuses are removed and not put back in their right spot. Also seen many techs chasing issues without inspecting fuses and fuses lay out before 😂. Wise old mechanic once told me…. ALWAYS check the fuses first. I guess Ivan got the same training!!!
