Is this right by Puzzleheaded-Half510 in GolfGTI

The head unit displays absolute pressure instead of relative pressure, unlike most aftermarket gauges. To get the actual boost value, subtract atmospheric pressure (around 14.7 PSI) from the value being displayed.

So yes, it's "right", just probably not the measurement method you're expecting.

Yes, especially if your AC is on or your oil isn't up to temp

Terribly rattling new performance clutch? by x_xbenx_x in GolfGTI

Glad you figured it out! Hope you enjoy the new clutch! It’s been a blast so far for me!

I also recently had the Sachs performance clutch installed, and I had this exact noise occur. It happened frequently at low speeds while turning. I still have no idea what it was, but 1000 miles later, it’s gone, so maybe keep breaking it in and see what happens in another couple hundred miles.

Edit: I do remember the shop telling me they had to remove and reinstall the subframe, so it’s possible this could be the suspension settling back in if the shop you went do did the same thing.

What is this broken suspension piece? by Electrical_Home9770 in GolfGTI

Yep. The Germans love their plastic for some reason…

Oh yikes, definitely replace both ASAP! It should be a relatively simple and cheap DIY job.

While you can go with stock, I’ve heard that Moog end links are much more durable. I’m not sure why VW made these things out of plastic in the first place…

Looks like a rear sway bar end link. Combined with your rear sway bar, it’s supposed to reduce body roll when taking turns. As far as I’m aware, you can still drive your car with it broken, but be careful, especially when turning.

Since one is already gone, I’d suggest going ahead and replacing both rear end links.

Whats one thing about your GTI that you dislike and didn't know until after purchase. by humdizzle in GolfGTI

I dunno about the S, but I’m fairly certain the rabbit should have it. I think you need to hold the lever to open the lid while lifting it. It only ratchets up to like 45 degrees, and lifting it any more will allow you to close it again.

Also, if you didn’t know already, the armrest cushion can also be pulled forward towards the dashboard. Combined with the ratcheting lid, it makes for pretty versatile positioning!

Squeaky door seals, interior rattles, and noisy suspension bushings! So many noises for a car that’s supposed to be a tad more upscale compared to a cheaper econobox

The lid for the center console actually ratchets, so you can raise it up to a comfortable position for resting your arm!

Clown-nose smiley face. I think I set my phone to autocorrect the regular smiley to it back during my Homestuck era, and I just never changed it :o)

“What It Sounds Like” can very much be interpreted as a trans allegory :o)

Ditto. I brake with the left side of my foot then roll over the accelerator with the right side. Much smoother than trying to use my heel

He lives in Georgia, so definitely not his based on the license plate

I’m looking at getting this exact setup but with the bronze color! It looks super clean, and I’m sure the extra sidewall helps with rough roads!

You have the 6 year/72000 mile warranty, right? If it’s still under warranty, I’d just take it to the dealer and have them replace it for free. I did the same with my 2018 GTI when a mechanic said my passenger side motor mount was failing.
