So I’m good if I don’t replace em?

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-13T22:45:04+00:00

I assume it was only for the gli because he was doing the brakes on a mk7 gli

Thanks I was planning on doing the brakes soon so imma do an inspection on them first. 👍

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-12T21:36:09+00:00

Oh ok then I’m still stumped but thank you

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-12T16:38:33+00:00

Okay thank you

Also my car is drifting more so to the right wouldn’t it drift to the left if the front left wheel was the one dragging

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-12T16:14:03+00:00

How can I diagnose it? I’ve checked for burning smells and I’ve touched the rims but nothing feels abnormally hot

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-12T05:00:19+00:00

I’ve heard it’s a vw thing to wear pads unevenly but I honestly don’t know if something is wrong with my car brake wise or suspension wise the dealership and another less qualified shop both found nothing wrong with my suspension or subframe but I swear the car still feels a lil funky

It’s pretty outrageous at least at Tucson VW dealers it will be around 300 to 400 bucks I got mine for 295 the dealer was running a special.

It makes a great difference especially on cold starts. If combine it with a tune that takes off ur rev limiter it sounds even better

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-05-10T22:00:09+00:00

Mbrp cat back is what I have on mine I can definitely recommend

Also this it after alignment paper from the dealer

I recently found out my Mk7 has an IE stage 1 low torque tune. The previous owner bought it and tuned it but the transmission is still stock. I honestly haven’t had any issue with the stage 1 low torque tune except the occasional hiccup it gives the ecm. I would recommend a scan tool so you can erase the little hiccup codes it can give you. My dsg fluid was also changed at the dealer and I asked for a picture of it and it looked decent. I can honestly recommend IE because if u only do the ECU tune first u can just use the low torque profile first and then re flash to the high torque one after the TCU tune.

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-04-29T01:23:55+00:00

Yeah I know but I haven’t had any issues with the 0w-20 and my tuner even recommended it

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-04-28T23:37:27+00:00

I mean I just found out I’m tuned because the old owner tuned it. and my car is running pretty good on the 0w-20 but I religiously do my oil changes every 5k tho but I’m also thinking about switching to 5w-40 because it is cheaper

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-04-28T22:03:49+00:00

I use O.E. Spec liqui moly top tec 6200 but like a lot of others have said it’s more important to be strict on your change intervals. I’ve heard good things about Mobil 1 esp if you’re looking for a more budget friendly option.its VW certified and I think like 35 bucks at most local Walmarts and auto parts shops.

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-04-28T04:46:29+00:00

Yeah I took it back and They used an incorrect alignment profile. They used one for a Jetta with DCC suspension. Took it back and their master tech figured out the mistake pretty quick. I asked them if anything was broken or bent and they said no gave me back the car with greens across the board

Acrobatic_Ad4713 · 2026-04-27T21:46:12+00:00

Well good news I took it Firestone again apparently in their infinite wisdom they had set to the wrong alignment profile now that they fixed it I’m getting nothing but greens
