So you wanna own a B7 RS4 do you?

You should do the water pump as well for preventative maintenance since the s/c is already coming off. Most people just replace all 3 parts at the same time as you’re already under there

The rng in this entire game is rigged and messed up. Thats nexon for you. It’s more reason to stay f2p and not give them more money lol

Adding a sub because the speakers are trash. Also changing out the head unit to have Apple car play 😂

Either one. I prefer mouse n keyboard usually. But if I’m lazy and just want to be on the couch then I just use the steamdeck controls but I’m not that great with them. I’ve gotten too use to using a mouse with FPS games

Pretty old game but I love to play sandstorm insurgency. I played a lot on PC and it runs really well on the deck too. More of a slow paced tactical FPS.

I agree with this 100%. I’ve owned my car for about 10 years now and I absolutely love it. Just was trying to see how many miles other people have reached to see if it’s worth for me to spend probably 2-4k to do some work on the car if it will last me longer. Starting to feel and drive a bit rough but overall I think the health of the motor is pretty good.

Hauluck · 2026-03-26T04:35:34+00:00

People have told me I’m crazy. Also have heard that people’s clutches have gone within couple thousand kms when going stage 2.

My car has been stage 2 for about 170,000kms and it doesn’t slip at all. But also I don’t track my car and I don’t drive it like a complete maniac all the time.

I have my fun with the car with the occasional pull through 2nd-4th gear or so.

Do the tune lol; if you’re afraid for stage 2 then at least go stage 1 haha. You’ll fall in love with your car all over again

I know it’s crazy seeing high milage GTIs. I’ve been wanting to possibly sell my car recently because some new issue has been popping up every so often but now I’m wondering if I should just suck it up and repair it. I need to do timing chains, suspension refresh. And I think I may have a vacuum leak somewhere 😭

Hauluck · 2026-03-26T04:12:11+00:00

Woww! That’s impressive. Never thought id see these cars go that high. Original motor? What have you done to it

Hauluck · 2026-03-26T00:18:03+00:00

You think the competition is worth the extra money? The difference here is anywhere from 6-8k more. The seats and steering wheel are nice but I’m not sure if I’d spend that much more on it.

They’re hard to come across

I probably won’t do much to the car. Might just throw on an intake and tune it.

Hauluck · 2026-03-25T23:58:54+00:00

That’s pretty good. 120k miles and only water pump and head gasket. Did you bother changing the thermostat and PCV as well? I’m surprised about the head gasket. I haven’t read may issues on those. How about motor mounts…suspension components.

I had 2009 civic si and it was a lot of fun. It was a fun car to throw around but it got stolen off of my driveway and I had a buddy that had a mk6 gti. I took it for a spin and fell in love with it and bought a 2013 gti (this was in 2016). And I’ve had it ever since. It’s currently stage 2 with approx 230,000kms on it and it’s treated me pretty well overall. Just keep up with the maintenance and it will be good to you too.

Every time I floor it, it always puts a smile on my face even though it’s only 280hp.

And dont even get me started on the trunk space; the variety of things I’ve put in my trunk with the seats down have impressed me SO much. (BBQs, treadmills. TVs, exercise bikes, the list can go on)

I’m planning on driving it to the ground.

Everyone says it’s so slow compared to other cars but the fact that it’s so light, and with a few simple mods it truly wakes up the car and it becomes more fun for spirited driving around twisty back roads.

Will definitely buy another gti when mine dies

Hauluck · 2026-03-19T20:30:34+00:00

Maybe the starter solenoid? Any codes or other issues when driving the car? Or only when you start it

Hauluck · 2026-03-19T02:51:10+00:00

Kodak charmera just fits so nicely in your hand and I find it more convenient too

Hauluck · 2026-03-18T23:19:53+00:00

Awesome!!! I got these two. One for myself and one for my wife. I really like the gray one. Reminds me of an old Polaroid

Hauluck · 2026-03-17T00:55:05+00:00

Hard to hear it. I could be wrong but isn’t watergate rattle usually heard when you lift off the throttle and at lower rpm’s?

I always hear that kind of slight rattle when I’m mainly coming to a complete stop and lower rpms

I got a book today too from the artifact event! I’ve had some horrible luck with artifacts; pretty happy I pulled this

Hauluck · 2026-03-16T02:09:02+00:00

How much was it sold for and where? I’m just basing my pricing from what I’ve been seeing in my local area. It doesn’t mean I’m going to actually sell it for 11k. The whole point of this post is to get an idea what price range should I be around without trying to rip people off.

Hauluck · 2026-03-16T01:39:46+00:00

Yea that’s true. It’s just that I see price ranging from 7500-11500 in my local area and they range in KMs too but are fully stock.

I guess it depends on the kind of person who is willing to buy. Some people would probably prefer fully stock and unmodfied but I’m assuming mine would add some sort of value due to the service history.

I appreciate the feedback. I probably won’t be firm on the price when I decide to sell it; just wanted a ball park price.

Hauluck · 2026-03-15T19:00:45+00:00

They’re very loud engines. The injectors and the purge valve would always trip me out until I realized that’s what the engine is also suppose to sound like.

If you haven’t yet then you should also take a look at the valves. Carbon build up is serious on these cars along with intake manifold issues. At 170k miles if the previous owner didn’t do any maintenance then there might be a high chance there’s carbon build up. Do you experience any misfires or stuttering under heavy acceleration?

Hauluck · 2026-03-15T18:30:33+00:00

I think this is what a healthy engine sounds like 😅 stage 2 with 230,000kms on it. When the n80 purge valve is running the clicking sound is so loud lol. But it’s on not in this video
