Ah I see, that seems smart. I'll figure out what that entails then. And thanks for the welcome!

congrats on the find!!!
MK3 ---> MK4... remove MK3... connect MK4... done... update MK4 software to the latest with perspective view if not updated already...
tranny... do as TMV said... it is not just the mileage, it is also the age... i would not touch it...

Good to know definitively on that Nav then. Thank you for that. The MKIII setup just feels so archaic how it sits, and the MKIV are about what you pay for a decent TOMTOM anyways.
But yeah I think I'll follow what TMV said for the tranny then.
Thanks!

Completely disagree... No fluid is "lifetime" and no filter can un-clog it's self
At 100k miles I dropped the pan on my ZF 6HP26X, changed that filter and topped it back off with redline D4. Then about 1k miles later, drained and re-filled it a 2nd time and now my tranny is VERY happy!! And no... no one had ever done any kind of service on it prior to this.

I see.. I think I will go talk to the material science specialist on campus about this to see what his perspective is on the metal particles inside the lubrication fluid. This is the type of thing they dedicate their lives too.. So maybe he'll have some interesting input?
Good to hear this method worked for you even after 100k miles though! gotta love that! Nobody want to spend all that $$$ on a rebuild that may or may not last..
