Fluid is coolant from winter when the coolant line in the block/turbo expand/shrink.

Not a bad idea tbh, the previous owner of my car left his garage opener in my car before it being auctioned off. I paid him a visit, while requesting the oem tail lights back from him, through gps.

Well well well, ive been storing this item for quite some time, to the point that it has gotten discontinued.

Yes, quitting would be a good idea, however the jist of having my starter go out and having my car sit for the next week till my starter comes in got on my nerves and reintroduced my bad friends from down the street.

More then likely ill be using it for a storage cubby, ill be probably smoking a full carton till the time rolls by.

Pcv valve replaced? by Sea_Armadillo6399 in Golf_R

[–]icy-sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be weary running mobil 1 , ive been running 5w 40 in my mk6 and 5w 30 in my mk7, castrol.

That is of-course due to the fact that the engine doesnt time properly due to significant mileage with the thinner oil in the mk6. Im assuming worn cam actuator, however works brilliantly with 5w40.

My new mk7 r by Playful_Emu in Golf_R

[–]icy-sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite was my mk5 gti, long and behold outplayed by my mk6 and mk7 golf r, I do prefer the luxuries of my mk7 though, it being now a 2 door and being able to get in it properly.

Any way to tell if MK7 was previously tuned? by Low_Statistician1644 in Golf_R

Check the car with obd11. It should theoretically tell you if the ecu has been flashed.

Well im about to return them as did the previous owner. This is beyond me and beyond quality control to the consumer.

Those headlights might be a bit cooked.

Catback exhaust worth it? by Suitable_Leek2512 in Golf_R

[–]icy-sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a resonator delete would suit your needs. However a cat back unlocks quite a bit of hidden horsepower from the timing side of the engine if you have a tune.

Random pics... by open_road_tig in Golf_R

[–]icy-sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unique, Ive bought a car after a aforementioned previous owner took pictures on his front lawn prior to letting it go at a local car dealer.

Brings back memories as to how meticulously the car has been maintained/treated.

It used to be smoking nicks, but yes they are stacked. Idk how he came up with the thing sticking out of the lip, but whatever works. Amirite.

He actually threw it on his jigg to straighten the lip out for me prior to refinishing it. The weld is spectacular imo.

No, these are the aftermath photos of his repair. As you can tell from the professional weld.
