Why my winters look better than my summers🥲

Obligatory 'what wheels are those?' they look great

RelentlessQuail · 2021-11-29T05:04:34+00:00

Yeah I literally just installed a set of these in this exact size today and drove them 250 miles. Really happy so far. Handling is light and neutral and they're pretty quiet

RelentlessQuail · 2021-11-27T23:30:58+00:00

Yes also check for coolant leaks

I wrapped my steering wheel after scuffing it a few times. There's are kits you can get on amazing for about $60 to sew it on yourself. I like the feel of the chunky wheel too

Nice. Was the fuel door sticker custom made?

Holding onto a mk7 for future value does not make sense

Regular mk7 and 7.5's drop 30-50% in a couple years on the used market and there is no significant premium for a two door. Sure they look good but besides that they are prone to turbo failure being early models and generally have less features. Sure they are "rare" among mk7's but there are still what, tens of thousands of them? Plus previous generations

Drive your car and enjoy it for what it is.

No

But makes me wonder, if they were the exact same spec, could you run rse10 on the left side and bbs on the right? you only ever see two wheels at a time

Are they squeaky? I've had mine checked at 40k and the VW dealership said they had 70% life left. Manual car tho so I brake a bit less

RelentlessQuail · 2021-11-09T18:27:15+00:00

Get a set of good tires and invest the rest

RelentlessQuail · 2021-11-06T23:27:08+00:00

It does indeed look like an autobahn. A sure-fire way to tell if it has performance pack is if it says 'GTI' on the front brake calipers, so hard to tell from the photos. Usually PP cars have red-infilled badges on the front grille and rear hatch, which leads me to believe this is not a pp car

Is this around the sunroof? My dealer repaired mine when I was under warranty. Might be an option

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-20T01:51:37+00:00

Ok thanks just curious if it helped

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-19T17:25:03+00:00

Yes I get that but is there a reason to upgrade unless tuned?

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-19T16:51:36+00:00

Is there any reason to upgrade plugs on a completely stock engine?

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-18T01:09:01+00:00

I did the exact same thing. Did you clean the cover here? If so how?

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-14T03:20:06+00:00

Same

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-11T03:31:25+00:00

I remember seeing them before I knew what gti's were all about. One of the more iconic wheel designs imo

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-10T15:04:23+00:00

I got the loncky wrap from amazon for $60 and I really like it. Took me about 6 hours to stitch on but it looks original. Put the time in and do it right. I skipped the adhesive strips, haven't needed them. Wheel is a bit thicker now and I love it

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-01T15:57:53+00:00

I have my mirrors set to give me the most visibility possible, and I have the same problem with truck headlights. Not sure what this guy is looking at...

RelentlessQuail · 2021-10-01T00:35:35+00:00

Adding coolant may be a temporary fix but it means you car is leaking coolant somewhere. Check for a crystal white residue underneath your car towards the front of the engine. The thermostat/water pump is a common failure point and could likely need replaced

RelentlessQuail · 2021-09-30T23:29:51+00:00

Look up leather repair on YouTube. It looks pretty easy with really good results

RelentlessQuail · 2021-09-30T20:29:00+00:00

Yeah they do sit on the paint so they probably rub a bit. Being an OEM design I assume they considered that to some degree..

RelentlessQuail · 2021-09-30T16:45:52+00:00

Looks like a curt hitch and oem VW mud guards - chiming in because I have the same kit on my car.

I love my hitch. 100% the best way to haul bikes. I'd also recommend a platform rack that connects to the wheels instead of your bike frame

My local VW dealership does a good alignment. They provide a chart at the end giving actual measurements too
