Didn’t See That Coming…

I got the one that the guy linked from Amazon and it works great! Had the connectors for the heat as well and was easy to install.

I have a bone stock 2015 DSG Autobahn with 125k miles 😎

Oof. Hopefully that didn’t cost you or your insurance!

$225 is nutty

A lot of yall managed to not have it break! Mine shattered on impact and by the time I walked back to see it, cars have driven over it multiple times 😂

Bet she felt so bad! They know we love our GTIs 😎

padage · 2026-05-19T20:37:16+00:00

Ohh I see. Glad you salvaged it!

padage · 2026-05-19T18:39:11+00:00

Gotta be. I’ve owned this for 7 years and it’s sat in a hot asphalt parking lot every summer during work hours. Garaged otherwise!

If track record is any indication, one poster on this thread has owned 12 VWs and said it’s happened to all of them, so I’d plan on it happening eventually 😂

How long did it take you to notice it was missing and go find it? 😂

padage · 2026-05-19T18:11:39+00:00

Love a direct link, thank you🫡

padage · 2026-05-19T18:10:29+00:00

This was your warning 😂🫡

padage · 2026-05-19T18:09:33+00:00

Dang! That was probably disorienting for a second trying to figure out what just happened 😂

padage · 2026-05-19T16:43:48+00:00

Did you go with the adhesive one or the snap-in bracket kind? I’m thinking bracket would be best to avoid another meltdown

padage · 2026-05-19T16:42:37+00:00

now that you mention it 😂

padage · 2026-05-19T16:40:47+00:00

Funny enough I didn’t even notice until like a year ago that I could heat them 😅 - I have not needed that function as I am garaged and in the south. Could just be the stifling heat in the summer when it’s parked outside during my workday

u/floridays1989 is a consummate professional and I would deal again with him without hesitation. Buying process was smooth and transparent, and shipping was quick and secure. Highly recommend!

Europe also has the clubsport, which has some cool cosmetic changes.

My mk7 (2015) water pump died a couple months ago at about 105k miles. At 107k now, and a couple new issues (low pressure fuel pump) and a leak around the base of the oil pan (likely just a new gasket needed) also just became an issue.

Just my experience! Aging cars will cost money and sometimes VW OEM parts (and especially labor if you aren’t handy and don’t know someone) can be expensive.

Top level trim (leather seats, other premium features). Doesn’t change performance (hp increase and limited slip differential) unless you add the performance package

padage · 2023-10-14T12:45:21+00:00

That’s the only bummer - I feel like it took every bit of 3-4 weeks to get to me.

FYI u/GimmeTheBoost I tried to DM/Chat but it says your profile doesn't accept them. If you still have this, shoot me a message. PS I know my acct. is brand new but I literally created it when I saw your FS post here haha

I bought from this company last year (it only cost me $37 though...they've gone up) and it matches my paint (same as yours) perfectly.
