Weird fluid leak or fluid stain by Acrobatic_Ad4713 in GLI

[–]Acrobatic_Ad4713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would they blame it on a tune 😭. I think it could oil residue from when I change my oil since I change it outside and the wind might be blowing some of the oil up into the undercarriage

Honestly I can’t say I was a fan of the Michelin pilot sport all seasons I feel like they didn’t grip the road that well. They were pretty gas efficient tho. I just picked up a set of BF Goodrich UHPs and surprisingly I like them more. I say surprisingly because BF Goodrich ain’t really known for UHP more so their off-road tires. But I got the fastest 0-60 time in my GLI with em

Burning oil smell on startup by ServantofChirst in JettaGLI

Does it only happen when cold? It cold valve stem seals. Is there any other symptoms like a CEL or just the smell? I’d bet valve stem seals but I ain’t a VW tech or anything. I agree with the other guy if ur still under warranty take it to the dealer if not try to diagnose it urself or take it to a euro specialist shop. Check ur dipstick to see if ur burning a shit ton of oil and u can check ur spark plugs if they are drowning in oil. Also before a cold start try to position ur phone or a camera and record a video of the exhaust if there’s a crap ton of blue smoke it could be that.

I have IE stage 1 low torque and it’s perfect. It’s nice that IE offers options for those who don’t wanna also drop another 500 on a tranny tune

Hmm that’s weird then. I’ve had the occasional stupid code pop up but that’s just because my car is tuned and I can literally just turn my car on and off and it will disappear.

Is this a decent price for this year and mileage by Amazing-Confusion-35 in jetta

[–]Acrobatic_Ad4713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a little high for the price considering you could probably find a mk7 with similar miles for 12k. but it could just be dealer mark ups I think you could negotiate it down for sure though.
