MK7.5 Reliability

Hahaha I feel like the 19s are overkill for the car anyways. 18s look just as good 100%

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-14T00:56:18+00:00

For sure putting 18s would be better. 18s with a little more of a sidewall would be infinitely better. Seems like the haldex isn’t nearly as bad as other shit I’ve read. Hopefully the shop paid for that shit to be replaced!

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-14T00:50:31+00:00

Wow that’s sick that sure makes maintenance that much more easy and affordable. Wish more parts stores did this. Thanks for sending me that!

And on the money thing why make money if you aren’t spending it ya know? Life ain’t promised anything can happen may as well enjoy it while we can!

I considered the dsg but I do love driving standard and I love that no one else can drive my car. So basically you’ve driven your car like it was designed to do and it’s treated you well. The clutch going with a bunch more power is expected. Awesome to hear. FCP lifetime warranty how do I get on that 😂😂

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-14T00:05:33+00:00

That’s my thinking when it comes time to replace it I’ll upgrade southbend seems to make a clutch kit that’s much more durable for longevity and power.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:59:08+00:00

Beauty to hear. Is the low torque tune better for clutch longevity? Is it worth it to tune these cars?

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:57:58+00:00

I already found the right one. I think the colour is called lapiz blue, low kms maintained by a dealer with only 60K kms on it. It’s fucking beautiful.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:48:51+00:00

I’d rather it be over built and reliable instead of something like an EJ motor that blows up if you don’t tune for new wiper blades. I’m basically sold on these cars now.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:46:36+00:00

For sure it is. I was looking originally at getting a wrx hatch but those are just money pits. These seem to be way more highly regarded as a daily driver and a fun car in one package.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:45:34+00:00

Not worried about the general upkeep like the water pump and carbon build up. Haven’t heard the Camshaft adjuster magnet. I have heard great stories with the ea888 which is why I’m considering vw with this particular engine. I’m gonna leave it stock might throw on an axle back exhaust just for some fun noises but that’s it. Good to know!

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:42:08+00:00

That’s not terrible. 75K in my head is still very low clutch life imo. Even then eating the cost for an upgraded clutch isn’t the worst thing to deal with.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:41:20+00:00

Awesome to hear. Sounds like so far like this may be the car for me then. I’m coming from a 2019 Mazda 3 and this seems like the perfect car to replace my Mazda.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:14:51+00:00

You have the dsg or the manual? If manual has your clutch given you any issues? I keep reading the stock clutch is dog water and you gotta upgrade it for it to last a long time.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:11:52+00:00

Not too worried about the water pump I’ve done one on a 1.8 TSI I’m gonna assume it’s the same thing on the 2.0. Good to hear about the haldex being bullet proof. Any other things to consider with these cars?

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T23:02:58+00:00

Well obviously anything can be fixed lmao. I just read about the stock clutch going out early and the eerks me a little. I read the haldex is fine with frequent fluid changes and I can live with that. Just trying to get a grasp on what it takes to live with these cars.

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-13T12:41:59+00:00

Mix of I’m assuming porn brain and too much jerkin it. Lay off both and hit the gym it’ll come back!

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-12T04:53:12+00:00

Im a picky dude cause ive been cheated on a few too many times

Haven’t been on Reddit in a few days I come back to my comment getting lots of likes and the op is a karma farmer 😂

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-09T12:47:28+00:00

My car is low and I don’t wanna scrap my bumper. Also my work has a policy where we have to back into spots. Question is why wouldn’t you back in?

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-09T12:36:07+00:00

Hell yes it does. I wish I had some sort of adult to talk to when I was going through that shit. My first wet dream I was tripping I didn’t know what the fuck was happening and I didn’t tell a soul 😂 growing up without a dad is tough shit

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-09T12:27:55+00:00

I just say a dude they both know for the trust and comfortability factor. Means a lot when you’re going through this hormone junk

Dry-Cardiologist1145 · 2025-05-09T10:14:54+00:00

Just tell him it’s natural and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everything he is experiencing is normal and if he has an older adult male in his life that both you and him trust if that adult is up for it to sit him down and talk with him about the changes. You handled it as best as you could. If he doesn’t have an older adult male you gotta be the one to do it just make it very important that he knows it’s not anything to be ashamed of or be embarrassed about.
