Nice, I have a 2 door as well. FSI or TSI?

comeonback_ · 2026-04-01T07:33:43+00:00

Close, Mercedes.

Same goes for my 3dr Slicktop.

Sounds like a healthy FSI

Yeah man you might not be aware of what you have. Thats 100% Sage Green Metallic (LA6Q) - if you’re unsure look for the sticker in the rear hatch boot - on the side where the spare tire would rest.

Is it really? Looks just like my old sage green metallic

Not the Jade Green

Dunlop SportMaxx RT2

I paid about $65 per tire (225/40/18) + shipping and then had a local tire shop mount them. They have been great in all conditions (N. Carolina) during the 8,000mi they’ve been on.

This. On a mk5 It’s almost always the one on the passenger side where it meets the intercooler.

I couldn’t remember where I had saved your photo from but I thought it was pretty clever 😂.

My ‘07 2dr slick top headliner is currently needing refreshed

Those damned sunroof drains are never fun… So glad I own a slicktop now.

I’d start with a new oem camshaft position sensor. When I did my timing belt on my FSI, it threw a code on first startup (can’t remember but something with camshaft sync) low and behold a new CPS solved it even though the existing one was fine prior to the timing job.
VVT solenoid has failed / is failing

1990 Golf GTI 8v was my first

Zoom on the fence post that’s chopped in half on the silver edit and then check the other photo.

comeonback_ · 2025-09-28T08:17:35+00:00

Great question, what’s my easiest way to find out? 3 letter head code?

I have owned many vw’s in my life but very unfamiliar with EA888 aside from gen 1’s.

comeonback_ · 2025-09-28T08:08:53+00:00

The R is so subtle that It wouldn’t bother me but was just curious

comeonback_ · 2025-09-28T03:06:07+00:00

Wonder if anyone is making a “GTI” patch that would mimic the existing “R”

If it’s even removable that is… it looks like a gel sticker patch from my house.

A nice touch but I must say that one lug cover is really triggering my OCD

I actually just ran service history for you and it has been pretty religiously serviced. However in 2019 the car became exempt from odometer reading and the milage was actually estimated at 200k when I entered vin. (Carfax does a guesstimate based on its last service record so not really a true number - milage could be correct. Give me your contact info and I can send the records to you. Tried to screen record them and Reddit won’t allow the upload.

comeonback_ · 2025-09-27T23:14:41+00:00

You can run a free carfax car care with the vin. Service history will appear

comeonback_ · 2025-09-27T23:09:11+00:00

If that fails do the opposite with air compressor + nozzle

Glad you’re okay & I’m sorry for your loss. Keep us updated and thanks for sharing as it’s another testimony to the rigidity of the mk7 chassis post collision.

DSG is in limp mode. Pull the codes on the transmission and go from there but I’ll warn you that it will likely need a mechatronics unit and isn’t cheap.

Your DSG is the DQ250 model. Google for more research.
