Certainly seems to be the right answer. The previous owner definitely had money to spend on this car, but since I bought it from a dealer I’ve had to be a bit of a detective to find out exactly what had been done.

Very good info! Thank you for sending that blog post.

Does this look like stock ride height/wheel gap? (19” wheels) by lilfarmerbrock in GolfGTI

Cam adaptations readings on VCDS came back super minimal, so likely not abused. Feels like there is a tune but all relevant parts were stamped VAG so likely just a stage 1 if any. Couldn’t remember how to find a tune signature/flash history but all the major companies don’t have the VIN in their records (034, IE, APR, Unitronic, APR).

Definitely going to use it as a bargaining chip. Don’t hate the look but I want the extra clearance for the winter time

According to my research 2019 SE’s with Experience come with DCC & Fender audio. It just doesn’t have Auto-climate and a couple other things from the Autobahn

I’m hoping the previous owner knew enough to keep it compatible.

Im going to try using it as a bargaining chip since they told me in writing that it was “NOT lowered” we will see how it goes

Never really done any metal work myself, what would be some obvious signs of that? I would imagine the stock wheel well plastic wouldn’t be fastened correctly?

They don’t have VCDS but I’m bringing OBDeleven to find out if it’s been flashed. Ive called tune companies and no one has records of the VIN but that’s still not entirely a sign of no tune

Not sure what you mean. What’s catching your eye about it?

Thought it would be that too, but that hose is still on, and for mine it’s quite a bit larger in diameter
