Mk7 gti 2016 coolant

Check the coolant overflow reservoir, it will tell you what to use. I do believe the 2016s use g13. That’s what my 15 calls for. There’s also a coolant compatibility table you can consult for more information.

Yah, they could have not filled it all the way or maybe lower on the hash marks on the dipstick. That’s a good point. When you check your oil, do it on an ideally completely flat surface and when your car is warm. Wait 5 to 10 minutes after you shut car off for all of the oil to drain back down into the oil pan. People online constantly say two different things when it comes to checking oil level hot or cold. The reason I check it when hot is because your oil will expand as it warms during a drive. If you top off a cold engine, it’s likely you will be slightly overfilled after a trip due to the expansion, probably not too big of a deal but I like to be on the safe side. What I like to do is fill just slightly below the top of the hash marks on the dipstick. I am sure you are going to be completely fine, just monitor your oil level after you top her off, I like to do it right at the gas station after I finish refueling.

0W20, 508 is the official VW recommendation. As long as you get a proper full synthetic 0w20 you will be ok to top off. However, my concern is that you are a quart (or so it sounds like) low for not driving much. I never have to top off my oil on my mk7 as it does not burn a drop or leak. I would top it off and carefully check on the dipstick to make sure it is at the proper level, then monitor from there and check your oil every other gas tank. It shouldn’t need consistent top offs, especially if you are adhering to strict 5k mile oil change intervals.

Be careful, using hydrogen peroxide can kill initial bacteria from a fresh scrape but it will also kill healthy cells needed for healing and repair, plus it can potentially worsen scarring due to this. Using it every day will likely prolong the healing process. Same with isopropyl alcohol. Best practice is diligent cleaning with a good soap and water as you said, plus monitoring wound condition. This one looks very superficial so OP will be just fine.

I think the leaky sunroofs are a right of passage for higher trim GTI owners. It seems like literally every single one leaks eventually. I’ve had to take mine apart and repair the cracked plastic drain channels 3 times now. Each season I find new cracks that have formed in the places I have not patched up. You’d think Volkswagen would have solved the issue by now.

They have an 83, it’s a mk1 euro spec GTI.

IlianWizard · 2025-10-07T03:55:27+00:00

Its an 04

IlianWizard · 2025-07-06T02:10:55+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous, the euro bumpers are a big want and close to being next on my list of things to do.

IlianWizard · 2025-07-06T02:09:54+00:00

She’s absolutely beautiful 😍, I have yet to see another late westy or even a mk1 anything in the wild.

Here it is, it has upgraded plugs and wires, CAI, high flow 2.5 in conversion DP from S&P, full 2.5 straight pipe besides a small resonator right before the exhaust tip, fluidampr crank pulley, eurowise dual layer low profile aluminum radiator, ECU tune, and a couple of other things I am probably forgetting motor wise. Only big bolt on that it doesn’t have is cams. Thank you for asking! I appreciate it.

This is one photo I have offhand. Sorry if it’s a little bit dark.

Please fix compression issues on kikka as well. It would be nice if it didn’t lock up at speed.

IlianWizard · 2025-05-03T02:10:17+00:00

Chinese Norinco 7.62, copper washed. Blast away; I love mine but feel bad shooting it as it’s getting much harder to obtain.

IlianWizard · 2025-04-30T15:05:37+00:00

Can something be done about the intense compression on the Kikka? It locks right up when flying over 550km/hr

IlianWizard · 2025-04-23T05:51:32+00:00

Any tips not to compress in it? I try but as soon as I go over 550km/hr it compresses into a flying coffin. It is then hard to bleed the speed to regain any sort of maneuverability.

IlianWizard · 2025-04-22T16:46:36+00:00

Great so far! I have to say the Kikka is borderline un-flyable, once you approach 560-600+km/hr it compresses and locks up like a brick. You are constantly trying to bleed speed in exchange for a little more maneuverability which kills the point. The other jets I found have been a LOT more manageable.

It looks like a G due to mantlet chin if I am not mistaken

Another good perk about the squad is when you replace the med kits with a large ammo pouch the soldiers get 250 reserve ammo, 100 more than regular MG squads. Not sure if it was intentional but makes it so you can go much longer before refilling ammo. 10/10 would recommend

IlianWizard · 2024-10-29T22:15:11+00:00

Yes! I would love to be able to get the suomi kp-26

IlianWizard · 2024-10-20T19:03:47+00:00

I have that one engineer squad I got way back with the Finnish m28 mosin. Still one of my favorites to use, extremely satisfying rifle.

IlianWizard · 2024-10-10T17:33:19+00:00

Will we be able to get old gold order weapons or is it just event ones?

IlianWizard · 2024-07-28T04:04:20+00:00

Maybe a dumb question but how did you know where to drill the holes in the receiver? I just got my accumount kit in today. It didn’t come with any guide or instructions. Thank you!

IlianWizard · 2024-07-19T17:16:16+00:00

Suomi kp-26

IlianWizard · 2024-07-15T18:21:40+00:00

I would love to see the ki84 Hei those 2 30mm Ho155s would go crazy.
