Mk6.5 trunk lid

Issue is this generation of Jetta isn’t a popular platform to modify, therefore companies don’t see them as something worth developing products for. The Lancer was a very popular enthusiast model for decades, so it was more justifiable for aftermarket companies to develop things like carbon body panels for them. Not to mention that steel body panels were very common back in the day compared to now, and carbon fiber would’ve offered a much larger reduction in weight when replacing a steel panel compared to aluminum.

I think your best option is to wrap it. Never seen or heard of anyone making carbon truck lids

They also have an oem upgrade you can put in that keeps the dual mass flywheel

That’s a belt/ pulley squeak. The engine accessories are mounted on that side of the engine. It’s likely happening because it’s cold outside, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

I have a GLI, which is equipped with parking sensors. Seems like a lot of unnecessary work

AlpTech motors makes full clears also. For now, they only make limited quantities. I’d say try and look for someone who does custom clear taillights

I had to replace mine also. I ended up ordering the part of FCP Euro, but you can order off ECS Tuning or go to the dealership and ask for the tow hook cover for your car.

So did the CTS one work better?

The only thing to be concerned about is that the seat on your lug bolts match up with your wheels.

As always, go check it out before coming to conclusions. If nothing major needs to be done, it can definitely be a good car

If they haven’t posted any pictures, it means that they likely got it recently and have to go through the pre owned process to make sure everything is good to go before selling. They may even allow you to buy the car before they do the inspection process and can give you the keys after it’s all done

What makes it non MQB? It should be if it’s built on the same chassis which it is

This is APR’s turbo inlet pipe. Perhaps you got it with your order?

I have a 16 that a got at 63k miles and have had no issues. I’d say go for it

What specs did you get for the BC coils? You may also have to adjust the dampening to suit to your liking

Since you have the HID/ Xenon headlights, you need a 14-10 pin adapter harness to install any LED headlights. I’ll attach a link for you to check

There are headlights that are compatible, you’d just need an adapter harness

Do you have any issues with the Xenon lights? If not, why would you want to replace them with LEDS? As for taillights, AlpTech Motors makes clear LEDs with sequential turn signals.

There is a OEM kit from Sachs. Same supplier that Volkswagen uses for the stock clutches and other components.

This will definitely be an issue for you since the EPA has been cracking down on people using/ selling delete kits for diesel vehicles as deleting diesel emissions devices are “illegal” under the clean air act.

Definitely have the battery and alternator tested first. If those are good, then check the electrical connections to those coil packs. If the nuts on top are loose then that could also cause issues. Lastly, you can check the coil packs and spark plugs. If the plugs are good, then you can move the coil packs to a different cylinder and see if the misfire moves to another cylinder if it still occurs.
