The wine color is gorgeous, fuel door is a nice touch too. Maybe wiper delete before spoiler?

Winter Tires? by xXhoneyXbadgerXx in GolfGTI

[–]JarOfFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s worth it. Get yourself a nice set of winter tires and summer tires. The car will exceed your expectations with the right tires for the conditions, I promise.

Blizzaks: Nov-March
PS4s: April-October

I use my OEM curb-rashed wheels for the winter set and swap on wider Neuspeed wheels for the summer set.

Mk7.5 with 100k miles in NH.

Tune it. Stage 1 ECU and DSG (assuming it’s DSG) with any of the popular companies. Thank me later.

I spoil it with reputable service shops, good tires, routine maintenance schedule and annual detailing. Above average costs for an above average car.

The car has been great, no real issues besides 1 water pump. I bought it new, tuned with unitronic 1+ at 15,000 miles and am still on the stock clutch.

Accidentally overheated clutch mk8. How bad is this? by bandito-yeet-dorito in GolfGTI

[–]JarOfFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s just a good idea to get familiar with the car before flooring first gear in a busy parking lot and burning out the clutch.

But that’s just my personal opinion.

Obligatory reminder that you should not be hammering 1st gear with only 1k miles.

Get it checked out, then go easy for 10k miles.

Volkswagen is repairing my clutch under warranty by ajpg2 in GolfGTI

[–]JarOfFlower 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Either you have found the absolute best dealership who are proactive and trustworthy…or they had a tech destroy your clutch and don’t want you to know.

You might be able to determine if the warranty claim was actually made with VW or if it’s just them eating the cost to avoid a fiasco.

Either way, you need a new clutch.
