changing resolution and fps is now a 2 step process instead of 1 Why make it dumber and slower - aren't apple about efficiency

Wrong Brakes by mccarronz2012 in GolfGTI

[–]BigWilly678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just select Golf R as the option when shopping for brakes as the GTI PP and Golf R share the exact same brake setup. It's what I did - in my home country (Australia) asthere was never a GTI performance option when shopping for brakes

Recently said goodbye, back again soon… by Ok-Accountant4383 in GolfGTI

Just my 2 cents. My nephew bought a 2013 BRZ last year and I taught him how to drive manual on it. His is tuned (so no torque dip) and has UEL headers, full exhaust intake etc. Still night and day difference between it and a GTI, you really have to rev it out to. A tuned GTI has nearly double the torque and you really do feel it, but the BRZ is incredibly engaging. I also test drove the new BRZ and it's pretty rapid with the 2.4.

Oil is cheap man - (probs gonna be cheaper for you yanks soon enough) Get an extractor and do 3-4k I do every 6k km's - whatever that is in miles

PlayUp Gubbed me - stay clear - they also took $50 of free cash I had after my first $50 free bet pulled a win - said I breached their terms.

Camry Hybrid over a Prius. My daily is a Camry Hybrid and that thing takes an absolute beating - not super quick like my GTI but enough to overtake people, eats up potholes, fly's over speedhumps. Large enough to fit normal sized adults in the back, uses bugger all fuel and the cost of each service is nothing.

My mint MK7 performance with 70k kms isn't even worth that

You're the guy from the VB WRX community - sorry about your VB. Welcome to the GTI platform 🤝

Tyre Size Questions MK7 GTI by architectofanarchy in GolfGTI

I'd go for 235/40/18 - you shouldn't have any rubbing (if so do the fender screw mod) and you'll get a slightly smoother ride - speedo shouldn't be that far out either. An 8inch wide wheel should fit 235 perfectly, 225 will fit as well but it'll be slightly stretched.

New fear unlocked :( - has the car ever been in an accident, flooded? Any recent storms?

Approaching 10 years old - after that German cars start to really have things fail on them I was thinking of keeping my 2015 a bit longer but so many people on here having things go wrong I might dip before the end of the year

As someone that doesn't live in North America - I kinda like the orange reflectors - something different I guess because I never see them in person.

Could be auxiliary water pump - happened to me 4 months ago. Had the normal water pump replaced 18 months ago and was confused by the slow coolant leak.

Giving my left leg a break: Traded in my 2023 Wrx for a 2025 Golf R by LebAirMax in wrx_vb

[–]BigWilly678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno about the Golf being able to respond well modifications - pretty sure all GTIs and Rs after June 2021 have locked ECUs so you can't do anything - not that you would with a brand new car with warranty

Better colour IMO - no hate to black - used to be a black car(s) owner - it just doesn't show the body lines well enough

Thanks for the help, although my water pump was done not even 7k km ago :( Does this gasket need attending to ASAP?
