 Eventually the deal was closed. The dealer will fix the faults and replace the
 two tires with all-season ones. It would be ready in about a week and a half.

 I spent quite some time getting familiar with Volkswagen's PQ26 and PQ35
 platform, from coding to wiring to hardware. I acquired a lot of knowledge and
 bought tools such as VCDS and VCP. I just did not want to pick another brand
 and start over.
