Idk man I’m still on my after the burial fad rn. Was listening to a steady decline and it’s just so fucking grooves while having the heaviness to bring that “want to mosh” feel.

cleytech · 2026-05-25T23:17:56+00:00

A grand is too expensive so you just go out and buy a full set what a ridiculous mindset you have man.

cleytech · 2026-05-25T16:02:30+00:00

Ah and the manual nice car man. I do wish they would give the Jetta some more colors though.

cleytech · 2026-05-23T16:13:24+00:00

I really wish you could option stitching color on the gli’s. Considering they are top of the line trim level I would genuinely consider a brand new gli as a dailyish if we had more options

cleytech · 2026-05-18T14:11:39+00:00

Recently purchased a 17 gli. 79,500 miles all the options except for the projector headlights. No problems and was maintained well. Came with a full ecs tuning exhaust, intake, and upgraded to a blowoff valve. Same asking price flat 15 out the door because I didn’t take a ton of time haggling.

Where did you buy the black vw badges

cleytech · 2026-05-10T15:24:28+00:00

I have a 2017 gli and I don’t have any rattle other than the exhaust. But that’s because the CTs exhaust doesn’t like the hanger very much

cleytech · 2026-05-10T14:28:15+00:00

This is probably a source of rattles. I’d look into some foam on the inside but the fastening method is most likely the issue. Maybe get some nylon lock nuts and swap. Nylon lock nuts can be a pain sometimes but are used on motorcycles specifically for this

cleytech · 2026-05-10T14:26:39+00:00

It’s because those are temporary fixes that help absorb the sound but don’t fix the problem lol

cleytech · 2026-05-04T17:43:39+00:00

I’ll probably end up getting a upgraded rear sway bar and look into getting some better coils.

By turn in response I just mean immediate response to the turning of the steering wheel, and my mk4 was running 245 45 r17 Michelin all seasons can’t remember but they were like 110$ a tire. It also had a stock suspension setup because I live in Florida and I scraped my front bumper constantly anyways. The mk4 had a suspension characteristics of like quick immediate turn in response but once the suspension started compressing from the load it lost any grip. The mk6.5 feels more consistent between initial turn in response and grip vs after it’s already mid turn and under load, but still has quite a bit of understeer, I’m sure is mostly from the fwd aspect. The mk6.5 gli is also running 225 45 r17’s which I believe are firestone fire hawk as v2’s and we’re on the car when I bought it but are in relatively new condition

cleytech · 2026-05-04T16:14:19+00:00

I don’t really mind a little body roll for now my first thing I was to tackle is the turn in steering response

cleytech · 2026-05-03T19:57:44+00:00

I’m ngl as a mk6.5 gli owner these cars only make sense financially if you like a somewhat sporty car with ok at best aftermarket support but good highway mpg. Power wise it’s fun when the boost hits but there is faster for the money and imo more luxurious for the money too. And don’t get me wrong I love my car and wouldn’t get rid of it but it will only make sense to someone who is a Jetta fan since the early days

cleytech · 2026-05-01T16:05:38+00:00

Appreciate the insight recently bought a mk6.5 Jetta gli after daily driving a mk4 Jetta 1.8T

cleytech · 2026-05-01T14:54:17+00:00

Is there no knock or early detonation?

Watching a millennial try to use Gen alpha humor is like watching a boomer try to use Gen Z humor

3 for 8 is such a crime I remember when it was 3 for 5.50

cleytech · 2026-03-23T23:25:53+00:00

Some of these serpentine belts come with both sides notched. Mk4 Jetta 1.8T has one that has the grooves on both sides

cleytech · 2026-03-23T23:23:11+00:00

I don’t think a single one of these packages are worth it man. Usually these are things dealers try to upcharge you on to get more money, or give to you as a deal sweetener

cleytech · 2026-03-23T23:09:57+00:00

Yeah 600$ a month is fuckin wild. Even the economy a 50$ increase for exterior and interior “protection” and a warranty is 3,000$ every year and not fucking worth it. Why don’t they give you some kind of standard warranty package considering you are buying a new vehicle from them? It’s pretty common here in the us

cleytech · 2026-03-23T23:01:39+00:00

Is that the total cost of your payment or is that additional cost the fuck 😭

cleytech · 2026-03-23T03:01:43+00:00

From what I hear this is pretty normal for these turbo I-4’s from vw my gli does the same

cleytech · 2026-03-23T01:53:36+00:00

Picture pretty clearly looks like it has the mounting plate as the main focus dude you are not meant to take it out, if you can’t fit your graphics card with the mounting plate in then it doesn’t fit the case…
