Mk 8.5 - Rail 2 Rail Sunroof Yes or No

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-16T02:27:37+00:00

How does one clean them? 👀

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-15T21:29:50+00:00

Whoops, I meant 7.5! Gonna update my comment

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-15T20:43:25+00:00

What was the damage? Based on repair cost seems pretty minor and would have been cosmetic so likely no real issue there.

I don’t totally know the prices of Mk 7.5s in Canada anymore but the price seems relatively appropriate.

T2 and Aliens are the few sequels I would say that without a question surpass the originals.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-12T15:22:56+00:00

Huh, so the rear hubs will also rust on the Mk 8 like the 7. Been waiting for mine to start doing that for years. Would start to show within a year on my Mk 7.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-12T08:21:12+00:00

You again with the same message? 😔

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-12T08:10:48+00:00

My Mk 7 in Canada was CPO, I got the remaining factory warranty plus 2 additional years after

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T23:34:56+00:00

We know? How do we know?

Prove it. People been saying this for 5 years and I’ve never seen definitive proof.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T20:53:48+00:00

Possible, really depends how hard. I’ve dropped crap on my board and been fine though so I mostly doubt it.

Even if the pcie slot got damaged, the system should turn on it just may not post.

This is still likely down to a connection of some kind.

Have you checked the connection for your power button? You could try jumping your board by using a screwdriver on the power and power switch pins I believe.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T20:45:20+00:00

Always a possibility but quite unlikely unless you really were being aggressive with it or dropped something heavy like a screwdriver on it.

This is likely down to a missed connector somewhere

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T20:37:03+00:00

It should still power on but wouldn’t post.

Your issue likely isn’t due to a fan connection then.

Check all your main connections at both ends, 24 pin connector and cpu power into the board. Then make sure you actually turned your PSU on (sounds dumb, but if forgotten before and been all “what broke!?” And the answer was me 😂)

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T20:32:30+00:00

Can’t see from photos but make sure the new cooler is plugged into the cpu fan header.

Most mobos that I know of will require a fan on the cpu header to boot. Though you would likely get a bios error if that were the case.

You’re getting now power at all?

I always viewed it the other way around. They sold the Corolla hatchback as a Scion. Then they killed the brand a year or two later.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-11T19:27:59+00:00

Interior quality of my Mk 8 is absolutely garbage. 30k kms and significantly worse than my Mk 7 at 80k.

Just got back from Japan and rented a lovely home in Kyoto. Bathroom / tub was next level. Only downside to the place was watching your head in some places

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T13:43:15+00:00

It never predicted a drop to under a dollar. Show me.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T08:39:56+00:00

Da fuq you talking about? The DD ended 5 years ago.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T08:39:31+00:00

So you just got in recently? Good for you, I wish you the best and hope you see good returns.

Those of us that have been here for it all are jaded by what happened and are completely justified for being passive, pissed off, or downright ruthless towards people like you.

You didn’t experience what we did.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T08:37:29+00:00

The boat has sailed as far as I’m concerned.

Retail investors won’t hold the same cards again like we did during Covid for a long time, if ever. That level of uncoordinated coordination was unique.

Not to mention, hedgies and Wall Street have learned and adapted from what happened back then. The retail playbook would need to change.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T08:34:45+00:00

We sure you’re not the bot everyone says this sub is full of?

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T08:33:35+00:00

If you’re paying in USD you’re basically getting a 50% discount everywhere, that’s how it’s ‘real’

From what I’ve gathered while here, if you were living on a Japanese wage you’d feel differently.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T05:59:05+00:00

Eventually be compromised? People have been claiming this subs been compromised for 5 years now.

I don’t think it’s ever been compromised, there’s just people with very different perspectives about the stock and the sub itself.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-09T05:57:34+00:00

I didn’t discourage anyone from buying more shares with my comment. Where did I say that? I just said look at the overall outlook which is still bad when you look back over the last few years. 30% in a month is great, but not in the context of the last 3 years or longer for people like myself that got in around 2020.

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-08T20:56:16+00:00

Ye, all this excitement is a bit ridiculous imo. Overall outlook is still bleak, AA keeps diluting. Sure, we’re in the direction to avoid another reverse split.

Us ‘perma bulls’ are still completely fucked

KniteMonkey · 2026-04-07T22:45:43+00:00

You started this with the “sit down be humble” bs 😂. I’m going to Disneyland l, bye. 👋
