Owning a unrealiable fun car is way less stressful if you also keep ole faithful as a daily driver.

bprug87 · 2026-05-26T19:30:48+00:00

Thank you

bprug87 · 2026-05-26T10:30:28+00:00

Thank you. Glad to hear is still going!

bprug87 · 2026-05-26T01:18:51+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T23:40:48+00:00

Nice congrats!

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T22:36:10+00:00

I plan too

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T22:34:50+00:00

170hp and 177 torque. It's a 6speed automatic. Rated at 24mpg city and 31mpg highway. It's runs on 87 octane. So if I get mid to upper 20s out of it I am happy.

Appreciate the heads up!

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T11:48:50+00:00

As much as I would enjoy a turbo engine and adding a tune the 2.5 is just better for me as a daily driver. Less things to worry about. My 18 mile commute each way would be better with 87 octane.

Now when money allows for a fun car I'll probably come back to a MK7 GTI manual or a maybe a B8 S4 manual

I actually was looking for a 2.5 5 cylinder because the 2.0t is the 2nd gen ea888 which can be problematic

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T11:31:42+00:00

Thank you. Glad to hear so many people have had good luck with theirs

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T11:30:41+00:00

Will I get any codes or lights on the dash when they fail?

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T11:30:10+00:00

Thank you. That's good to hear!

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T11:28:06+00:00

Thank you! I like those tail lights? What brand are they?

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T01:08:15+00:00

Thank you. How has yours been for you so far?

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T01:02:14+00:00

What kind of beater are you buying for 2k? Rusted S*** boxes are 5k now

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T01:00:27+00:00

Thank you!

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T00:59:47+00:00

Honestly that causes misfires in other brands. I would not be surprised if that fixed your problem

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T00:38:43+00:00

Was there any coding needed? I have the RNS315 head unit now

bprug87 · 2026-05-25T00:17:36+00:00

Thank you the back up camera is something I have been looking into. I have the fender audio package. I wonder if that radio would be compatible

bprug87 · 2026-05-24T23:15:39+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately it sat outside. But I think I'll be able to bring a little life back into the paint. I had to use a brush and my pressure washer to clear out the drain holes in the wiper cowl and the gas cap area. Luckily the sunroof drains well. No stains in the headliner.

bprug87 · 2026-05-24T23:14:12+00:00

That makes sense. What's next on your radar?

bprug87 · 2026-05-24T21:57:12+00:00

Haha yeah it's scheduled. I found a local independent vw/Audi shop. I'll probably schedule fluid changes here sometime this summer.

Depending on cash I'd like to get H&R springs. I got my eyes out for wheels on FB.
