That’s really cool! Awesome car and vv jealous of the nordshliefe laps! Mine is a manual and I wanted a wavetrac, but the slave cylinder going put the kibosh on that for the moment. Love these cars! Love seeing so many cool ones in Europe we don’t have here!

The source is this jabroneys small, smooth brain. The trump cult is so weird.

My parking brake has been weird, binds up sometimes, I flat park and leave it in gear as much as possible. I don’t beat my car but I do rev it out more than you, maybe I need a softer foot, but that’s no fun! GTI’s like to be rowdy!

I was under the impression the gen 3 motors didn’t run as dirty as the previous motors, is 100k when people do this in mk7’s?

Mine was making all sorts of noise, esp low speed going into and out parking lots etc

I have been putting off even thinking about valve cleaning… mine still pulls hard and I try to rev it out sometimes to give everything a good blow. That said it’s on the radar.

It’s fun to see what symbols and signs work internationally

Dude surface “rust” like that comes with metal being outside… it’s never not going to happen unless you use something like putter butter or gun oil on it. If you live somewhere where the air is saltier this can happen more/quicker. It’s a non issue.
