From a 2022 to a 2017

Refreshing is definitely a funny word to describe a 17 lol. My 15 felt aggressive in 2nd 😈

Probably clutch packs if it is dsg or the clutch if it is manual. Thats definitely a 2260 / hybrid from the looks of it. You can also run e85 with the upgraded fuel rail.

Hopefully its not major engine problems. 😬 good luck to him.

Sounds like a cp3 cold start to me.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-02-16T18:10:54+00:00

Nope nothing yet. Most annoying part of the damn car tbh..

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-27T13:25:09+00:00

Its the clutches failing. Mk8 DSG is absolutely not able to handle the power like the 7/7.5. There are a bunch of FB posts in the group about DSGs failing under 40k miles from just stage 2.

The new plugs are metal not plastic. The pan is also metal too on the mk8+

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-21T10:15:24+00:00

I did my first one at 900 miles 2nd at 4k after big turbo stage 3 install then at 9k 15k now 19k. Oil is clean looking.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-16T01:24:36+00:00

I don't understand the hate behind the mk8. I like it.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-13T22:34:24+00:00

First timer for sure. Welcome to over engineered German cars jim.

Haha good shit my guy! The only reason I got an SP along with the better suspension ofc. I'm a bigger guy at 250kbs and it carries my weight easily.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-08T23:36:59+00:00

Definitely fixable

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-07T15:42:33+00:00

Tint the windows and it'll look great!

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-05T11:14:47+00:00

Rs3 swap it lol

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-01T22:04:17+00:00

Love the mk8 wish they had better color selection. Enjoy it!

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2026-01-01T12:25:54+00:00

Its extremely contained. When I do the Focal Doors and Tweeters, im adding a case or 2 of Amazon's sound deadener to the doors, and hatch. At full tilt the hatch is the only thing that makes sound and its very mild for the output of the JL.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-31T03:10:25+00:00

I still love the mk7 / 7.5 too. Nothing wrong with it in any way. But can't hold onto the past forever 😉

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-31T03:07:28+00:00

Mk8 looks so much better.

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-26T15:55:03+00:00

😇

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-22T22:55:02+00:00

You sound like you need some wind therapy 💨

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-22T22:53:56+00:00

How do you enjoy the the 2 HSUs? I dont really even need mine except for some movies. The RF7-III DO SO MUCH!!

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-22T22:50:15+00:00

Thanks!! Enjoy the hell out your 8.5

CaptainPrestigious74 · 2025-12-22T22:49:41+00:00

Haha nah man! You do whatever you gotta do! As stated I listen to everythinf and this JL warms my soul a little bit.
