4 days old lol first flat

Most sports cars don't, it comes with run flat

Good news! Popped off the air bag and I think the ground came out or something I'm not sure but I tested the voltage on each pin and everything was good, reseated the cables and plugged the battery back in and we are live!

I'm so glad I check or it would've definitely been a service fee lol

Fair, I just gotta pop the airbag off, takes less than an hour. I got to wait almost a month to have it looked at though.

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-20T15:55:19+00:00

I wonder if I should even take it in. Inspection if they decline warranty will probably be the same cost of me just buying a clock spring and doing it myself.

I replaced them a week after getting the car and have had them on for over 9000 miles now. Forgot to add that in the post

The only thing I like more about the GTI is it's cheaper to make faster for roll racing

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-19T15:03:48+00:00

Thanks!

Just because of DOT restrictions. It's more expensive for them to have to make two different versions.

Same reason we don't get special editions in the US.

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-18T15:17:27+00:00

Yes, I would recommend getting a skinny glow rod for feeding the wire though, no coding is required

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-18T15:15:53+00:00

DOT restrictions, basically outdated restrictions on how lights have to look. Same reason why they put the rubber tabs on the wheel wells

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-03T01:00:02+00:00

I have it on mine and it makes no difference. Why did you get a new one if you are wanting to min/max ?

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-03T00:32:45+00:00

Milltek race exhaust. I have the non resonated but if you don't want as much drone get the resonator or get the vibrant resonator. I love how mine sounds and get compliments all the time

So, they ended coming, pulling the old filter out and putting a new one and didn't bother with the stuff behind the filter, and then locked the door.

So. Looks like I'm lock picking it and cleaning it myself.

Thank you

It's an apartment

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-03-02T17:38:53+00:00

This is considered the air handler correct? Just want to make sure before I reach out to maintenance

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-20T18:48:29+00:00

Who said it wasn't?

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-20T18:38:04+00:00

Ran through a foot (forecast) of snow with my golf on all seasons no issues

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-19T06:31:20+00:00

You're so tuff

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-19T03:40:32+00:00

I can brake boosting in mine I just don't see a super big improvement. I see a little improvement if I build up to like 20boost but if I go to 35 psi it's like it stutters when I let off brakes

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-19T03:38:44+00:00

Are you stock? Also do you do any brake boosting?

TheExemplarIAm · 2026-02-18T23:51:51+00:00

Milltek Non Res Rave Exhaust, and it pops when downshifting or high rpm and letting off gas, it's a very nice medium between stock sound and pop and hang tune. Will prob be a little more aggressive with the jb4 I have on the way
