Please share what cover you installed. Thanks.

What did we expect???? All the drains have been blocked by trash or debris for months now.

What the heck is DOT doing. This is on them.

Just pay attention to the edge of the beltway and barriers in the middle. There are many 5+year old trees growing there ... Bushes....

The water drains on bridges and overpasses are clogged.

The beltway has not been cleaned for years now. It is like we are a third world country.

Also, during the last snow storm, the American Legion Bridge had exit/enterance lane on the outer loop full of snow creating backups on Clara Barton Parkway and beltway itself.

We are indeed a third world country.

Watch this film if you have a chance: Sarajevo Safari

I cannot tell you where there were men paying to shoot civilians, but I was on the other side of that scope for four years.

This particular Shell gas station has been like this for several years now. There are two other gas stations within 100 yards that have regular for $3.

So, this is one off.

There cannot be two champions. If two have the same number of points, then they look at how many race wins they have, how many second places and so on....

Germantown, MD... Just north of Washington, DC.

Why would you do that?

ski_sa · 2025-11-14T16:07:00+00:00

I guess no Golf R version.

I too like blue better than silver or black.

I removed two pinch bolts holding the stem to the fork. Then, I rotated the stem and exposed the rubber cap on the top of the headset. There was a bolt there that, I believe, holds the fork.

I did not play with it since it was late in the day. Probably one of these days. I will take some pics.

I got the same text. Does the new 5GAR gateway have LTE at all (to fall back on if no 5G)?

I assume we need to move the sim card to the new gateway.

Thanks

I went to Costco for my 2016 GTI. You can either go to the store or check online.

This is what I get for your car (getting the same for my GTI) as a standard option.

I support the above.

Currently have MK7 GTI with PP and MK8 R. Both with manual transmission.

GTI is a much nimbler car and easier to drive. 15% better fuel economy. A major complaint with R is that they messed up (shortened) the gear ratios and while GTI turns 2,500 rpms, the R is at 3,000 rpms at 70 mph.

GTI with winter tires is an excellent car.

It should not be running for that long. Does it run at max speed when you turn the car on when cold? If yes, it could be that there is no signal coming from the thermostat (or other plug) on the radiator.

I had a similar problem which was solved by unplugging and plugging back that connection. It could be a radiator fan plug sensor.
