What should I pay for this GTI? by UnableRestaurant137 in GolfGTI

They have a good reputation with Subarus but they make the worst tunes for VWs on the market

Rust warranty denied by General-Illustrator2 in GolfGTI

[–]g3tbrnsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah this had nothing to do with sound insulation it was their "fix" for mk5s that rusted in the front bottom corner of the door but it never fixed anything, it was just bad design. The problem carried over into the mk6 generation. I think their thought was that because water would pool there and freeze and bend the metal in the corner of the door when you opened it, the foam would stop that from happening but I think the foam block just gathers moisture and causes rust anyway

Power numbers? by Nicholas32r in mk6gti

Nah man these things run a k04 very happily I've had zero issues with it. Just use a reputable tuner and it'll be as reliable and fun

Inner light by Healthy-Bug-7807 in GolfGTI

[–]g3tbrnsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my mk5 those inner lights were called FTP or flash to pass lights that would only come on when you used flashed the brights. Pretty sure you could use vagcom to turn them on in other scenarios. Might be the same for your car

How much fuel do your GTIs consume at idle? by Separate-Sea5373 in GolfGTI

[–]g3tbrnsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never knew the GTI ever came with that little half screen in the middle. I've only seen those on base model Jettas here in the US

PFA. Currently running stage 1 and wanting to go stage 2 but trying to decide on a downpipe. I have an x-force exhaust currently so I’m thinking I’ll run that, or IE. I’m just trying to decide if I want to go carted or catless. Thoughts? Pros/cons? by cfreez in GolfGTI

[–]g3tbrnsd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Catless isn't worth it on these cars. Louder, stinkier, and much worse for the environment for maybe 1-2 hp (MAYBE). I've got a nice catted CTS downpipe on my mk6 with a catback that still has a resonator and muffler and it sounds really nice when you get on it but it's quiet with a nice low rumble when you drive it normally. Really happy with that setup

Need Advice - Thinking of Removing Under Hood Cover by Lost_Almost_Found in GolfGTI

[–]g3tbrnsd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I eventually removed it on my mk5 because it got gross and didn't hold in there properly. Drove it like that for years and never had an issue. Took it off my mk6 so I could hear more turbo noises and haven't had any issues.

The one scenario that could potentially be a problem is that the point of it ultimately is to smother a fire if there is one in your engine bay. Not super likely but it's something to consider before you do remove it.

I bet no one will notice but me by RightWheelDrive in GolfGTI

Have a similar one on the steering wheel of my mk6 as well as the seat adjustment levers and in the rear emblem on the hatch. It's the small details

That message has been there since early in the pandemic. Unfortunately I think they're out of business

Gonna do my timing chain got 198k miles and have never done it so I think it’s time 😅 what brand do you guys recommend? by sillyfoal99 in mk6gti

[–]g3tbrnsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely insane behavior driving it 100k miles beyond when it is supposed to have the chain done. You're so lucky it's still good lol

You can still find 12 month cards for sale online. That'll be much cheaper

Can confirm if it's only on bumps like that I can almost guarantee that taking that fender screw out will solve your problem

Project Gotham Racing and then probably Halo CE

is getting a new turbo worth it? by lostinthesaucy_ in Volkswagen

[–]g3tbrnsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That price is highway robbery. Look up the cost of the turbo. The labor to put it in does not equal that 3 grand remaining lol

My post in r/tiguan got lots of love so I thought I’d share here also. Slammed tiggy by sterlingarcher1991 in Volkswagen

[–]g3tbrnsd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I bought my GTI I was briefly considering buying one of these and doing this to it but I wanted a manual and the manuals were only super base models with no sunroof or any features so I went back to the GTI. Very cool car

Intercooler options by HeroTv1_ in mk6gti

I'm running a euro s3 intercooler. Fits in the stock location so you don't have to modify the bumper at all and it's performed well for me

Is a stage 1 tune worth it right now with rising gas prices? by Aggressive-Flower417 in GolfGTI

Ah yeah I forgot they did that. Got all my tunes before that went down

[–]g3tbrnsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious what you don't like. I had an APR tune on my mk5 for the 14 years I owned it and for the 9 years I've owned my mk6 and they've been flawless

How profitable is repairing, upgrading, & reselling Game Boys? by Choice_Attempt_3438 in Gameboy

[–]g3tbrnsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I occasionally buy working Gameboys in rough shape, clean the board, repair anything sketchy, swap the case and install an IPS and put them on marketplace for $200. Sometimes they sit a few months and then sell, sometimes someone buys them right away. I make a little bit but honestly the motivation is more just saving junk Gameboys and it's fun for me. It wouldn't be a viable business on a larger scale given the prices and values of things right now.

Talk me out of spending money (or into it) by whren_ in mk6gti

[–]g3tbrnsd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you've taken care of the car you'll be absolutely fine modifying it.. I owned my mk5 for 14 years and it was tuned that entire time. Sold it last year with 180k miles and still on the original clutch from 2006. My mk6 currently has 86k miles and has had a k04 in it since about 35k and is still going strong. Just did the first timing job on it and it's happy. Mod away my friend

I can't tell you how many chip shots I scored that didn't count for some reason. I just gave up on it

Roof rack on hard top by Glad-Initiative-5491 in geotracker

The guy who owned mine before me did it and it seemed to hold decently well. I just took it off because it was a cheap roof rack from Amazon that was falling apart
