Lol. German over-engineering. Aside from the old air-cooled Beetles which were simple to work on, Mercedes, VWs and Audis are overly complex money pits now. You need the tracking devices so the tow trucks can find them.

If 6 bolts to hold something on are more than sufficient the Germans will use 12. To work on one thing you need to first remove 6 other things. No thanks. No more over-rated problematic German Autos for me.

A few years ago new VWs had a spate of mechanical problems.
A VW dealer wrench that I know, claimed that was to make work for the dealerships!???
