Had to pop the hood to turn a valve to get the hot water to enter the heater core though.
Complete BS. Nice try. German engineering making things over complicated is the problem. Making a reliable electrical circuit is not "trailing edge"....its good engineering. TRUE superior engineering is making something simple and easy to repair while giving the same or better service as something more complicated, period. That is the fall back position of a German apologist and its getting really stale. This is not a modern thing either.....many ignorant people have equated complexity with "superior" engineering. Of course internet "journalism" has helped keep this stereotype alive.
German engineering is different, not better.
But I do have a threshold for tolerance. If something repeatedly crops up after multiple attempts to fix, or even worse, a "strand" situation, then the issues are unacceptable. These electrical issues is now starting to reach that level.
I'm still waiting for an apology from the poster who thinks commenters here are simply unintelligent bashers.
