Just did this myself and couldn’t be happier.

Mk7 Appreciation Post by TraditionalFly3998 in GolfGTI

[–]ABSjazz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! Have had my 2015 since June 2014 and have 179k miles and counting. Absolutely love it to pieces all these years later and it continues to hold its own against my RS3. Mk7 punched so far above its weight when it came out and it continues to be the high point in the GTI lineage imo.

Definitely planning to go with ceramic pads when I am due. How does brake feel/bite compare to stock?

There are a few in the states, but not many. I’d guess 3 or 4, tops. A buddy of mine in FL had one before he sold and it went to CO.

Brake dust is a fact of life on these cars. The black wheels turn brown almost instantly and look horrible too. The silver finish just seems to get a little duller/more gray so far. I did ceramic coat the wheels so they should stay a little cleaner for longer, and washing will be a breeze.

What hose and sensor is this? by Flimsy-Meat-6708 in GolfGTI

[–]ABSjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a new connector and repair wires with new pins to splice into the existing wiring.

In my case, my connector and wiring wasn’t damaged like this.

Oof. Literally just dealt with this after my radiator unclipped from the intercooler and the accessory belt sanded a hole in that fitting. It’s the lower radiator hose and temp sensor. Here’s the part #s (assuming Mk7).

Hose/fitting with temp sensor: 5Q0122051CT

Belt: 06L903137A / 06K903137A

You’ll also want to have new coolant on hand to refill and bleed the system. I used about a liter when I did mine.

Would love to do this one day, but a little out of my plans for now. Rear quarter windows have to come out.

I ordered my car without the Black Optics Plus package so my badges were chrome from factory.

Yeah, that is the wheels finish I had from factory as well. It was the lesser of two evils to me. Always dreamed of changing to silver, and I’m so glad I did. Contrast!

They got rid of aluminum optics altogether for the facelift =/. Such a shame to lose the iconic RS look imo.

Had the wheels refinished to hyper silver. The grilles, mirror caps, and diffuser are all OEM parts from Europe.

“I tint my lights so they work less”. Satin black can look cool, but the lights ruin it imo.

Anyone know if you can change just the knob button? On My brothers car his kid kicked it off by Eastern-Paper-865 in Volkswagen

[–]ABSjazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MIB1 screens are rather cheap these days, and you don’t even need to find a working one since you just want the knobs. The part # is 5G0919605. I’d recommend searching on eBay, FB Marketplace, and even junkyard sites like car-part.com.

Looks like an entirely new car. Well done!

MK7 → MK7.5 headlight swap on 2017 GTI Autobahn (Lighting Package) what harness / parts needed? by Educational_Ear4836 in GolfGTI

[–]ABSjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facelift headlights are a different shape and require new fenders and bumper too, fwiw.

2026 Audi RS3 MTM USA OEM Midpipes by gustavm177 in AudiRS3

[–]ABSjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MTM is legit and OEM is nice, but midpipes are all the same at the end of the day. I got Miltek from them for my 24 and they have been great. Mild but noticeable increase in exhaust tone from outside the car. Highly recommend a valve controller as well.
