RMartin1962 - thank you for this great report. How does one measure the "partial load/long term fuel trim" ? I have VCSD Lite (and am willing to upgrade to the paid version). Mike

Re: Oxygen sensor, N80, gassy start and when hot & high?
Further updates: 1. The part (VW 7D0201801) was showing as "AVAILABLE FOR ORDER" on parts.vw.com so I placed an order. They charged my credit card and emailed to say the order was being processed.
