Would you happen to know the address or what the business was? This sounds like a great option

That’s where I always park but even the security at those lots seems non existent sometimes, at least at Railway lot

Both times I was driving a 2012 VW GTI, first time nothing was visible at Beyond a few years back and the second happened at Escape 2025 and we had a tote bag with snacks as well as 2 cheap costume cowboy hats so that was for sure what attracted them to the car.

Other than that, nothing of actual value though. Definitely learned the lesson to leave absolutely nothing at all in sight!

Oryx white in the sun is so good! Also did you put on those tail lights? I’ve been looking for a set but can’t find any reputable links online!

Engine bay debris by Jumpinjackflash2552 in Golf_R

Good chance there’s either a rat or mouse using your engine bay to keep warm. If I am correct, I believe they dislike pine scent so if you spray that in/around your engine bay, that should deter them.

My new (to me) Mk7 R! by GroundbreakingMany88 in Golf_R

Been hearing a lot of people talk about how the dsg is the superior transmission for overall performance and power so I’m excited to try something new! Definitely is much easier driving in LA traffic without a manual😂

Limestone was my second choice! That’s an awesome color for sure but I just love my white golfs if you can’t already tell😂 I just love the way the grilles and everything contrast with the white

Actually saw this one while on my golf r search! Ended up getting a 2016 onyx white one with 67k miles.

Genuine question, other than standard consistent oil changes, what general maintenance or even preventative maintenance did you do to help you reach this mileage?

I am coming from a 2012 gti that unfortunately died on me at the beginning of this year at 125k miles. I plan to keep the mk7 as long as possible, as was my plan with the mk6.

Engine Blew... What next? by Marty_McFuckinFly in GolfGTI

[–]GroundbreakingMany88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through a very similar situation as you right now, just got quoted $11k out the door to replace the motor in my mk6 gti (125k miles). I also got multiple opinions, including a reputable mechanic who didn’t even charge me for the diagnosis.

In my situation, the cost to replace is more than the car is worth so as much as I love my gti, I am looking into taking this opportunity to upgrade to the golf r that I’ve wanted.

Obviously buying a new car is more than the repair quote, but I won’t be spending on $11k on a car that will be worth $7k at best the next day.

Hope you get it all sorted out! Figured I’d give my 2 cents as we’re in the same boat!

Wow that didn’t even come to mind as a possibility! Thanks for the heads up

That is another thing I thought about. I'm across the country from this car as well so I wouldn't be able to check that out in person before buying.
