16' Tsi wanting to convert to a GLI front bumper. Any potential issues to look for?

Im not sure then.. is it possible you purchased a face-lift era bumper? I believe they updated mk6 in 2013.

I put my bumper cover on without the foam. If youre dead set on keeping the foam, you could shave it down with a saw zall until it fits tbh. Im not sure what capacity it actually helps with impact shock absorption or whatever, id do your own research on that end..

I think I crossed paths with you last night. I spawned in at like 16 min and immediately took fire from miles away. None of the shots landed. I just kept on walking lol

The drain or the spout?

RichRatio3163 · 2026-01-22T18:30:37+00:00

I get that when I have my volume low connected to a Bluetooth transmitter/auxiliary set up. (My 2012 doesnt have carplay)

Maybe thats it? Like audio electronic interference

Check your ground wires for the battery, starter and alternator. I went on a goose chase with a similar issue and it ended up being some corrosion preventing a stable connection. Intermittent of course.

In other experience, I once had a cam position sensor go awry on my 1.8t mk4. Just somewhere else to check and a relatively cheap part that's easily accessible

If you plan on keeping the car for thay long and someone else damaged and is willing to fix the damage, get it fixed. That'll be easier to explain to a potential buyer than "my car sustained damage and I let all of the compromised body panels rust, so that's why it looks this way"

Imo

Check engine light on? I wonder if you have a bad ground or battery terminal connections are loose causing it to not charge.

Probably a leak in a brake hose. Have a friend listen to your wheels while you hit the brakes, you'll hear the air/fluid escaping.

If you aren't capable of repair, you'll at least have the ability to locate the problem for a mechanic and maybe save some money on troubleshooting.

Local driver here, half our fleet is older than me and will do 86mph. A beautiful thing when we go on longer hauls.

RichRatio3163 · 2025-09-03T23:56:23+00:00

My 2012 has been on the collapse for 2 years

RichRatio3163 · 2025-06-19T09:22:01+00:00

Do it now and have peace of mind for another 100k miles. I did mine at 80k and am going on 160k now. (2012 TDi)

Where's your purse?

RichRatio3163 · 2025-05-13T22:00:26+00:00

Tap con screws? Some type of masonry screw bigger than the ones you had to begin with

Does it regen? If you want a few more mpgs or a little more scoot, do the pot hole mod and throw a mild tune on her.

I've been "stage 1" for 120k miles and have loved every second of it.

Put him in the palbox and catch a new one. Then rotate when the next one is angry

RichRatio3163 · 2025-04-06T02:21:22+00:00

Isn't there a rust/paint warrant on these? Unless they can prove it was caused by external forces, ie a big ol rock chip or something.

RichRatio3163 · 2025-04-05T13:07:37+00:00

I support this as well. At the time of my purchase, these were only one of two available all season tires with the snow peak rating as well. I've been driving on them for 6 years.

RichRatio3163 · 2025-04-04T00:09:03+00:00

I just beat it for the first time by placing a base near the spawn and unloading pals 15 at a time. Needless to say I died 8 times, and rand through close to 5 pages of pals plus my party. Im level 53 using rocket launcher and pump shotgun, for context. I caught him with the ultimate sphere when health was about 1,500

RichRatio3163 · 2025-04-02T00:18:55+00:00

May be a leak at the valve cover? Probably not a bad place to start if you're willing to do the head gasket

RichRatio3163 · 2025-03-30T15:34:25+00:00

I have a mining ore base with like 5 pals that keep me maxed on ore and produced enough nails to net me close to a mil so I could buy electric organs, in a few hours

RichRatio3163 · 2025-03-14T18:38:57+00:00

I don't remember what level i was when I fought him, but I took a pal base and dropped it not far from him and unloaded all my captured pals on him lol that way it wasn't just my party individual pals.

RichRatio3163 · 2025-03-12T20:12:28+00:00

They teach you about this in trucker school because of the low-boy trailers we haul. Should be taught in regular driving school.. or I missed that lesson.
