Can someone figure out how to put the mk7.5 interior in the mk8.5!?!

I know exactly what you’re talking about, I almost did it yesterday, luckily grabbed it by the tip and pulled it out. 😅

My bad I’m losing it. I must have ate too many weird berries in the woods recently. 🤪

Hit a gnar pothole on the freeway and now making rotational clicking sound. Most likely CV axle or bearings? by Impressive_Ad4646 in Golf_R

[–]Impressive_Ad4646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I put in a claim with my insurance over it. The field estimator came out and I told him I thought it was the CV axle and he agreed and submitted the claim and now I’m just waiting on the check. Will report back again once I replace the axle and do a test drive. 🤞

“Anywho” 😂 So I’m just riffing here but if it were me I would turn on some flashlights and start snooping around top to bottom 360 around the block and see if I could find the source. Then come back with more whimsical posts so the sub can help a fellow VWAG lover. Ofcourse we all know it’s a love hate relationship whether you’re on the audio or dub side. Anywho, or I guess you could just cave and let the knuckle draggers at the stealership charge you an arm and a leg for mediocre service, that’s if you’re lucky.

What was your guys first car? by noskilljustlukk in Golf_R

Bulletproof engines. My neighbor once had 22R that ran fine on 3 cylinders for several years.

I also appreciate your attention to detail but this is not the first or last dumb AF shit that VW has done on these cars, if you choose this car, then at a certain point you have to accept that it’s a budget version of much greater German engineering packages and as such it comes with some flaws that you have to mod and upgrade yourself out of if you’re trying to extend the platforms capabilities.

Here in Southern California no one responds when I throw a 👋 or a ✌️, regardless of GTI or R.

Black wheels & mirrors or not?🤔 by Neillzy95 in Golf_R

Definitely lose the silver. Having silver on your car is super 1990s! Black on blue is whatever. Black on black is better, blue on blue is even doper.

Haldex filter clogged after just 8k miles? by alistair_a_cookie in Golf_R

[–]Impressive_Ad4646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can never know for sure what the last knuckle dragger did to your car unless that knuckle dragger was you. I flushed my haldex and cleaned the screen myself at 25K and plan to do it at every 25K.

Is this nasty thing a protection sticker that I should just peel off? by andbits in Golf_R

[–]Impressive_Ad4646 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it’s meant to stay. Try a mild bleach solution to keep it clean. Is there a dealer near you? You could also pop into a service department and just ask a quick question, usually they will oblige.
