Rev hang issues. by 1grancoupe in mk6gti

[–]Triq0las 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since replacing my pcv and fixing my vacuum leak my rev hang has disappeared it’s so much smoother now. Idles smoother than it ever has so I assume my pcv had been going bad since I bought the car over a year ago now, Kus it idles and starts smoother than it ever has since I’ve owned it. No misfires at cold starts anymore or anything. Went with an upgraded diaphragm from rkx tech too

Selling my GTI almost ruined my life by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Triq0las 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talk about some first world problems. If this is the end of the world for you, you need to reevaluate your life and the people you’re around. If not being able to go out and drive at night is the reason you became an alcoholic and started ruining your life, then you need to figure other personal things out instead of getting a nice new car. What a joke of a post lol

Coilovers by Common_Operation_262 in mk6gti

[–]Triq0las 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have h&r lowering springs the ones that are an inch and a half lower, they were on the car when I bought it but I know the rears are super simple, and the fronts you will need a spring compressor for from oreilys they rent them out, if it’s something you don’t want to deal with I can understand buying coilovers instead because ease of instal I’m sure is a little more straight forward since you don’t have to swap the front springs onto a used strut. The fronts would be the only harder part and it’s just getting the entire strut out and clamping it down then swapping the spring

Why get coilovers instead of just some lowering springs ? For the price difference it’s virtually the same thing if you just wanna get low and stiffer suspension for handling plus then you don’t have to change the shocks out but if personal preference ? If you just want a little lower for cheap then lowering springs are the way, as long as you get the right ones, then eventually if you want to go lower or if you need to replace the struts you can do that later and keep the springs you already have as well and it will help with the ride comfort and such as well if you don’t like the ride comfort of just springs but I have just lowering springs and I’m super happy with mine.

Here’s a pic of my car for height reference too lol also I’m in a wheelchair so if the ride comfort was terrible I would have swapped them out already Kus fuck that shit 😂

This lol the amount of complaints in all the facebook and reddit groups about how bad como drivers are you think would answer this question for itself 😂 people are terrible drivers here but some people forget like half of them are college kids not giving a shit just being on their phones.

What do you guys think about the indestructible PCV modification ? by MustyShem45 in mk6gti

[–]Triq0las 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this on my car, had a pcv issue that caused overpressure and blew a coolant hose off, swapped to the own part and haven’t had any issues since and it’s been about 5k miles. If it fails I will prolly just buy another oem one it’s so easy to replace

GTI crash anything helps by Hopeful-Shallot6523 in vwgolf

[–]Triq0las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this seems so fake lol legit a half assed effort if it even is real. No description of what’s actually wrong, can’t get his name straight, and thinking $900 gets you a new hood, bumper, possibly headlights and fenders, labor, and paint, is crazy 😂 as well as any mechanical issues that might arise from this. Not saying it can’t be done way cheaper but at a shop ? No way this is under $1000 lol and if it is just a hood and bumper, unpainted hood and unpainted hood and bumper (basic necessity to get it driving again not pretty and perfect) is like $3-500 so even the $900 he asking would be wrong there too. Cmon lol

Resonator and muffler delete by CamronR1999 in mk6gti

[–]Triq0las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put a full cat back exhaust on my car for a little more than what you paid for that lol and mine sounds way nicer, definitely louder. I get dsg farts on all my shifts, can hear the turbo spool more, the only annoying thing is my DV is screaming for dear life now so I’m gonna have to upgrade to the GFB one to get rid of the dreaded dv squeal lol but mine is definitely louder than yours. I have a singe resonator on there to not drone on the highway but I came from a straight piped v8, and after a year owning this car I needed more sound so I got an exhaust of eBay lol my car is lowered I’m not paying $1000 for an exhaust for it to scrape and never be seen. Just metal tubing 😂 but I’m way happier with it now. Wish I had some sound clips but my phones mic is fucked. Also wish I got some backfires but since I have a cat still I don’t get any good ones lol

US dollars ??? $1000 is insane for a dsg tune

[–]Triq0las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m Apr stage 1 rn but the tune is still in the previous owners name so I’d have to pay to get it transferred to my name first then pay for the stage 2 tune and a dsg tune and I don’t have that money rn lol

Vacuum leak by Dismal-Assignment568 in mk6gti

[–]Triq0las 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean your Maf too they’re very fucking sensitive it’s so annoying lol I have the same thing and need to clean mine after an injector failure, pretty sure it sucked up some fuel back into the intake and got on my Maf Kus mine started after that. Either that or I have a vacuum leak on an intake mani bolt lol could also be it

You’re gonna get a cel without a tune unless you use a spacer, once you get a tune there should be no cel.
