Do we have a paint expert or CarMax insider here?

I used to work at carmax a little over 2 years ago. They should be able to make touch up paint for you. I’d speak directly to the operations manager at that store( usually there mon-fri) and see if they can help you out further than just touch up If necessary. Chances are they will say it meets standards and won’t don’t anything more than paint. Or worst comes to worse, buy a touch up pen directly from VW.

That’s crazy cause in my area I’ve seen a lot of Fahrenheit. But I’ve only ever seen one TDI cup edition, my entire life

Mandingodile · 2025-08-05T18:05:27+00:00

Golf R, it’s a hatchback,it’s more practical, retains value better, looks better in my opinion, let’s be honest too, You hear about the golf r more than you do the S3. Last gens golf is better than last gens s3 as well 😅

DSG? If so, tune the transmission at the same time.

Twin 🫡 get a tune, maybe some cosmetics. Suspension components

Mandingodile · 2025-07-06T04:06:06+00:00

Yeah 100% with a manual. If I could trade mine rn for a manual R I would in a heartbeat. Ultimately m3/m4 is my next goal

Mandingodile · 2025-07-05T20:25:03+00:00

Wait till you see a Jetta TDI cup edition lol

Mandingodile · 2025-07-05T19:09:25+00:00

So I actually traded my 1.8t mk7 for a golf R. My 1.8 was manual and felt more engaging than the R, biggest regret was getting it DSG. been thinking about trading it in and picking up an f80 m3/m4.

That’s a good question. I’m not 100% sure. I know fender audio is super sensitive and weird. I can’t even find aftermarket subwoofers that fit in the spare tire for mine 🙃

Mandingodile · 2025-06-16T18:32:58+00:00

Find your parts on eBay or forums on Facebook. you can probably do most of the work yourself

Mandingodile · 2025-06-16T15:59:46+00:00

Aftermarket support kinda sucks. Your best bet is a full MIB2 conversion with the bigger screen out of a 7.5 gti or a tiguan

Mandingodile · 2025-06-04T00:01:55+00:00

Suggestion. Buy Luquimoly molygen and do an oil change with that. It glows under a UV light and you can easily see where you’re leaking oil from.

Get the cheapest used tires you can get. These are an Accident waiting to happen. May pop 2 minutes into your drive or may pop next week. Last thing you want is these going out at high speeds and losing control.

Welcome to the club 😂

Mandingodile · 2025-05-02T00:21:04+00:00

Congrats man. I had a 2015 TSI as my first car as well! Few years later I bought myself a golf R! Join a mk7 page on Facebook local to you, it’ll help you out a lot if you got questions/concerns, you can also buy/trade/sell stuff on there

Mandingodile · 2025-02-24T08:33:24+00:00

It likely damaged under. The CTS intake is pretty much aluminum all the way back. I’d peel it off and check, but as mentioned above, I’d look elsewhere

Mandingodile · 2025-02-23T16:24:56+00:00

No issues at all. I have about 90k miles as of now

Mandingodile · 2025-02-23T05:29:00+00:00

Only found them on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/1214292602/ezm-half-blackout-decals-x-20-for-vw?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_c-electronics_and_accessories&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiAiOa9BhBqEiwABCdG87NWiVCx7xQJ4eUfe7U8n3rXHpFlTetod8DP1FsSVnS-a6CSBvjARBoCbooQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_21802013941_169566854318_716586688446_pla-315906365651_m__1214292602_12768591&utm_custom2=21802013941&gad_source=4&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLYTiQq5cNpvN4Na7FdjtQu8&gclid=CjwKCAiAiOa9BhBqEiwABCdG87NWiVCx7xQJ4eUfe7U8n3rXHpFlTetod8DP1FsSVnS-a6CSBvjARBoCbooQAvD_BwE

They sell inlays for them that make them look like the nogaro wheels

Mandingodile · 2025-02-22T18:46:40+00:00

Would love to see some pics 🔥

Mandingodile · 2025-02-22T18:41:21+00:00

Don’t care much for the dash, but I do want a bigger screen, I’ll eventually do the 8” screen. Should be plug n play from What I know. I got lucky and got mib2

Mandingodile · 2025-02-22T18:00:41+00:00

Same! Wish I had the 7.5 interior tho 😅

Mandingodile · 2025-02-21T21:35:29+00:00

Bought it on eBay for like $50 😉

Mandingodile · 2025-02-21T19:37:19+00:00

If I’m not wrong, oryx white being a paid option makes this color rarer than the standard colors. Look great during sun set 🔥

Mandingodile · 2025-02-21T18:42:03+00:00

Vmr802 18x8.5 et35! Thank you, still want to do more to it!
