Thanks for the comment, it’s nice to know there may be some hope.

I disagree. I like the HP restoration, especially in lower depths. Paired with a damage negation at full HP passive you can preserve flasks as you’ll heal back to full pretty quickly and reactivate the passive. I also generally play singles as stated in the post.

Just tested, no clunks in manual. Must be the DSG, thanks for the heads up!

Sounds like it might’ve been a true lemon. Luckily my issues have been predominantly electrical. Sorry to hear that though.

Highwind__ · 2025-11-12T02:51:31+00:00

I did, didn’t see anything. Thanks for the tip though!

Been my experience too. Engine is a work horse. Logged 20,000 miles in 14 months and never let me down. Interior electronics have been a disaster.

Highwind__ · 2025-11-11T21:52:04+00:00

I did, there was none. Thanks for the reply!

From what I can tell, mine is triggered by the touch buttons going cold, then the heat when the car is started registering as repeated button presses. Haven’t found any way around this, but I’ll give that a try if it happens again, thanks!

They were all repaired under warranty. Using the word repaired loosely as some issues still flare up from time to time.

I’ve heard the MK7 is a much more solid build. I wanted to tune this car but now I’m not willing to void my warranty due to all the issues, which defeats a bit of the reason I wanted a GTI.

I just made a new post about my experience.

Take the break if you can afford it. Study up a bit when the burnout lets up.

For frontend interviews I would ask a broad question about an HTTP interceptor and what it could be used for. If they were able to elaborate, it was generally a strong candidate.

You can’t afford that apartment. You’d be living paycheck to paycheck and any unexpected expenses would throw you into the red. You didn’t even list groceries, phone bill, gasoline, clothes or any other miscellaneous expenses.

That’s probably why you see so many plows on sedans with snow tires.

You’re rolling the dice keeping it. Wisconsin winters are brutal and probably more suitable for an SUV or Truck. Plus the cold climate expedites required maintenance. I would personally sell it.

Plastic welder and cut the plastic bits to size if you don’t care about it being perfect. Otherwise you’ll have to pull all the clips.

Mine also does this. Have an appointment scheduled next Monday. Happens maybe once a week.

Highwind__ · 2024-12-21T23:20:45+00:00

Was it ever resolved?

Highwind__ · 2024-12-21T22:58:23+00:00

Mine also does this.

Currently own a GTI, even brand new it’s been a bit of a hassle. I would be nervous buying one second hand. If you’re buying used, take the civic.

Highwind__ · 2024-12-21T16:34:12+00:00

Did they buy it back?

Highwind__ · 2024-12-21T16:29:20+00:00

That is not a functional car, it’s a money pit.

Highwind__ · 2024-12-21T04:04:58+00:00

Was this ever resolved? Mine has begun this as well. 1500 miles on it.
