My 2013 Mk7 diesel Highline came with an AGM -- still going strong at 6 years old.

Mine both lasted almost five years.
Replaced them because I thought it was about time.

Might be as simple as an injector not fully sealing.
Cheap piezo injectors in printers are famous for it.

Whilst it's a good idea to use fresh batteries, most good quality coin cells nowadays have a shelf life approaching a decade, and it's a simple matter to test them.

Whilst a blown fuse usually indicates a circuit overload, it can also be just a weak unit and fail for no obvious reason - such as being repeatedly heated close to failure point.

Since fuses are...

Any auto parts and/or accessories retailer sells fuses.

You should also think about the reason it blew -- is it a wiring fault or was it caused by something plugged in?

Might be the batteries - I've had to replace both mine (2013 Golf TDI.)

One (which I changed myself) works like a charm, the other (replaced by the local garage 15 months ago, and for which they...

I haven't seen the Composition Media system -- which is the cheapest one they fit.

You'll need to check whether it has the input capability for the system -- no point buying one and finding it...

I added one to a Mk6 some years ago -- the illustration looks very much like the same one.
It was fiddly, but not all that difficult.
Did need enabling via VCDS.

More importantly, you need to find the cause of the obvious overload -- before it does some real damage (if it hasn't already.)

To overheat a cable that size would take a pretty massive current...

Beyond that you've obviously got a short somewhere, no.

However, since it's been blowing smoke, you should be able to locate the point where its burning.

Failing that, take it to your local...

Check the wires where they come through from door to body -- you may be able to fix it yourself.

That, of course, is motorists who haven't got diesels...

Auto hold simply automates the action your driving instructor was supposed to, and probably did, teach you: When you come to a stop, apply the handbrake.

Sorry, it was at the 2016 service and my memory isn't good.

All the invoice says is "Carry out campaign 45D4 - update ECU software"
"Criterion 01 and 05"
Maybe some-one more knowledgeable than I...

Might be flaps not fully closing or tap not shutting off.
My aircon (2013 Golf TDI) was thoroughly inefficient at delivery, many passengers commented on it.
Complained about it at the first two...

If that proves to be the cause, most likely all they'll do will be whack some rubber grease on them.

It could merely be suspension bushes - I've not noticed it on either Golf, but my 1988 Cressida had in the front end for its entire 21 year life when going over sharp speed humps (of which I've...

One of my rellies did that on his HiAce.

In the early days of motoring here, you bought benzine from a shop - often from a chemist.

I can remember my granddad still referring to petrol as "benzine" in the 1920's.

Also, in 1954 I took...

Nothing beats having a bit of a stir now and again! - but one day all this will happen.

At 94, I don't expect to see it, tho'.

And the straws are already in the wind (when there is a wind).

Another real world practical issue is that, one fine day, fossil fuels are going to disappear, never to be seen on this planet again.
It won't happen today, tomorrow, nor even yet next week, but one...
