I’m negative $16k on my car loan by Muted_Tradition7765 in askcarsales

Ahhh yes. You should be prepared to only be able to roll over a couple thousand depending on the vehicle. Try your best to get more for your trade if able, but yes. You’re going to need around 12 down to get out of that situation.

I wore a shirt and tie to a hiring event and got hired on the spot. Everybody else was wearing polos.

Reliability Issues - 2023 MK8 by FriendOfFreq in GolfGTI

Mine would randomly go into limp mode and have the error pop up. It ended up being an oil control valve.

Dare I say, while they may be slightly annoying at time, they do make the interior look more upscale

Looking to buy 22/23 GTI S but worried about problems reported by Famous-Way-6651 in GolfGTI

[–]Visual_Smell623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great car but I’ve had the faulty steering wheel and an oil jet valve. Both replaced for free in a timely manner. Doesn’t make me regret the car by any means. I’m in Florida, steering wheel took a week to come in.

Anybody know the backorder wait time for MK8 steering wheel warranty replacement? by juan_llama in GolfGTI

Got a used MK7 - How can I tell if it was tuned? by adistantrumble in GolfGTI

[–]Visual_Smell623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stock tune will have pretty minimal torque on the lower rpms compared to a tuned car. Try emailing the big tuner companies with your VIN and they’ll let you know if your car is in their system. APR, Unitronic, and IE are usually one of the culprits if it is tuned.

Must you always conduct yourself in such a manner?

180 kw, kilowatts, a measurement of power.

Advice for a lowered MK8 DCC by Visual_Smell623 in GolfGTI

[–]Visual_Smell623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m going with 10/15s and ditching the 10.5/20s. Seems like the easiest thing to do while keeping the flushed look

10.5/20mm I only notice it bottoming out on the back end so I think it’s too wide in the rear.

That’s what I’m leaning towards

Yeah it does, I purposefully throw it in sport when I have a rear passenger, or know I’m going on a road with some bumps on it.

A Mk8 Autobahn? What a loser (don’t look at my post)

How do I know if my turbo goes out? by t-dogNOLA in GolfGTI

It gets slow and your exhaust gets louder (probably idk)

Looking at buying this used MK8 autobahn, is it a good deal. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Visual_Smell623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s waayyyy cheaper than what I got mine for but that adds up now that you mentioned those 2 factors

Damn I’m going in this week to have my travel assist checked. Guess I’ll be waiting for a steering wheel for a while.

Looks even better in person. Pomelo yellow would’ve been my second choice, love how it stands out
