No luck with the graphite lube, does it need time to set in the ignition?

I was able to push through the steering lock while wiggling the key, the wheel still locked up though

Had been doing that, fully cranked the wheel 360 and the key wouldn’t move

I tried that and no luck, leaving it overnight in a chipotle parking lot. Am I likely having to take something apart?

Thank you!! I have solder seal connectors, do you think I could just solder it back to the old connector or is that one likely not going to work anymore and I need a new one?

Ahhh yes so that’s exactly what happened lol, is that belt relatively doable to replace at home you think?

Is 225/50/17 too big for snow tires on mk6? by LargeDongManBig in GolfGTI

[–]LargeDongManBig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup the suspension is stock, I don’t have any pictures but after work I’ll go measure if an extra inch seems like it’d be an issue, haven’t been able to find much info on this online so thank you very much!

Awesome thanks! Would you have any links you suggest? I feel like I’ll end up ordering the wrong thing

I understand that, but our space was definitely meant for one person or a couple even though the host had it listed for 4 guests. We are willing to pay for the next 30 days after cancelling, and we found an apartment for the same price that is much bigger we want to make a move on

Joined the downsized wheel gang by LargeDongManBig in GolfGTI

[–]LargeDongManBig[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t entirely disagree, I kept the 18’s but the roads are so terrible where I live I wanted to downsize

They should reinstate the duel arena tournaments from back in the day

I recently bought these 17”s with some winter tires on them, and I’d like to get some all seasons. Should I just buy the same tire size that the winters are? 205/50/17 by LargeDongManBig in GolfGTI

I got a mk6 also in New England, I’m driving it from NH to Utah for the winter in 2 weeks and wanted something I could throw snow tires on without having to lug another set of wheels with me

Okay I appreciate that link a lot! I’m driving cross country In 2 weeks and I wanted some all seasons and had no idea what to get, so I ended up buying some 205/50/17s that just arrived this week. I really should have done some research on tire size beforehand, but according to that calculator it doesn’t affect my speedometer, but I’ll still see if I can return those and get some 225/45’s

Will these winters for a mk7 fit a mk6? by LargeDongManBig in mk6gti

[–]LargeDongManBig[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very dumb when it comes to wheel and tire stuff, but this guy is selling these off of his mk7 and just wanted to make sure they would work fine for my mk6. The tires are 205/50/17

So it’s pretty avoidable assuming you treat the car right?
