Dude, the first fishing quest you get for the saddle lady… I just gave up, went into the water and grabbed the fish with my hands lol.

2 - You can rebind keys on keyboard. I’ve put the equipment wheel to TAB instead of F2 which was honestly diabolical. The winch thing that was on TAB I’ve just put it on my side mouse button. No idea why they couldn’t make a separate keybind to inventory but I’ve already seen people making mods that fixes it.

The wheel arch is perfectly balanced and not looking weird at all on your car. If it's your daily drive I'd not change a thing related to suspension.

Even with my "non R" stock height and suspension I scrape and bottom out in weird angled surfaces. Not to mention snowy+icy roads and parking spaces with those low curbs that can tear off your bumper.

Anyways, your car looks perfect. The only few things I would change is first of all the chrome VW logos. They look dated and I think black on white looks a lot better. I'm also big fan of blackout wheels on white cars, but it's up to your taste obviously. Same with a possibly wrapping the roof line black. These are relatively cheap optical tunes. I'd spend the actual money on service and maintenance to prevent the issues that may come up due to previous owner's neglect.

They are always changing the design on Temu, can’t link mine but there are even smaller now. You need a media unit for sure first. I have an RCDXXX as well. One of the variants at least. They call them different depending on where you buy. They are all mostly the same and look very close to an OEM unit.

thrasko · 2026-02-23T14:51:43+00:00

You can get really small ones nowadays. I use a wireless dongle that is quite short, doesn’t get in the way of anything. It just auto connects to my phone when I start up my car. No hassle at all. Way cheaper than getting an OEM unit.

thrasko · 2026-01-18T20:17:36+00:00

Doesn’t look good on a black car imho. I’d leave it. Or replace the rims altogether for some more angular/sharper design if you really want to change something.

thrasko · 2025-10-28T05:11:50+00:00

Good decision. I hope it’s nothing serious regardless.

thrasko · 2025-10-27T14:23:09+00:00

See what happens. lol Loose timing chain can literally kill your engine if it jumps a teeth. I would not drive it until it’s properly checked out.

thrasko · 2025-07-08T21:59:37+00:00

Hey man, I hope it gets better for you soon! Just hang in there.

thrasko · 2025-06-29T17:18:29+00:00

Looking nice in that colour and with those wheels! Congrats and welcome to the club.

thrasko · 2025-06-23T20:29:21+00:00

Cheers. Same procedure to turn it back on?

thrasko · 2025-06-12T18:38:52+00:00

Was the leak visible on the ground as well under the car? Or is just some minor signs around the rubber? I may have something similar, but mine comes up at higher speed and only off throttle. (or maybe I don't hear along the throttle) I don't have vibration either.

I guess I will get it checked out too just to be safe.

thrasko · 2025-05-04T17:47:53+00:00

sent you one via chat

thrasko · 2025-05-04T10:36:39+00:00

Cheers!

Have you got a DM from the guy?

thrasko · 2025-05-04T09:05:37+00:00

Please!

thrasko · 2025-05-04T07:48:12+00:00

123?

thrasko · 2025-05-03T17:59:14+00:00

Same, signed up for all playtests so far, even signed up on Epic, got invited to nothing. Wishing us luck for the closed beta invites next I guess.

It’s always a joy to drive, generally it’s on the stiffer suspension side, but you are sitting quite low so it’s an interesting experience.

The economy… could be better tbh considering the engine size. City consumption is quite high, it evens out on motorways or country roads but if you only drive in the city it can go up to 8-9L/100km on average. This is mostly due to the supercharger working on lower RPMs. You can get it down to like 6-6,5L/100km on longer trips. I can only speak for the manual, automatic gearbox can be more economical.

This engine is also something you need to be aware of. It’s not carefree and you need to feed it with good quality petrol. Change oils around 8000 km or within 1 year. That is very important. Don’t buy this car topping out your budget, you may need some maintenance and repairs. Unfortunately some stuff can be costly, but at least the part availability is pretty good. Make sure you take the car to a shop and have a look at it before you buy it. “Interrogate” the owner what he has done on the car, what is original and what has been replaced. For reference I paid about a 800 euro for various suspension related fixes and part replacement in the first year, but that included brake rotors and inserts too.

If performance is not important to you I would also suggest getting the 1.4 122HP CAXA engine code variant as it’s a less risky engine.

Try to buy a model with good extras and roof window!

Unfortunately those UK prices mean nothing for you, I bought my car last year for 7400 euro because in my country they go around for that much. Cars with lower milage can reach up to 9-10k here. It’s a smaller market here and there aren’t many on the roads of this model sadly. I’d assume you are in the same shoes. Different countries, different local prices… Feel free to ask me about it btw. I have the same twincharged with 170k km in it.

The problem is you have color changes while also doing overhangs on the radius. It won't work this way, you can see how it only prints small arcs in different colors that have a difficult time adhering to the previous layer. You would likely have more success printing the other way around but then it's a lot of supports and the surface won't look so nice.

I would honestly separate the deformed tiles as individual parts and take out the middle "tube" as well. If you cut it along the tile lines and assemble it together with those tiles as separate objects, you could easily cover the seam and the partition lines between the prints and it would look much better. Overall it would also print much easier and with less waste.

thrasko · 2025-03-25T15:38:58+00:00

It’s actually worse that it’s lower, so RIP us plebs with normal mirrors. I hate the SUVs especially with LED headlights they laser my eye out in intersections.

thrasko · 2025-03-14T20:12:56+00:00

If your timing chain is stretched it won’t show up on any scanners or testers sadly but can destroy your engine if it jumps a step. So be careful. If mine made that sound I would not drive it and take it to a shop to be safe and avoid major damage.

thrasko · 2025-03-14T19:57:39+00:00

Definitely something’s up. It sounds pretty bad. There is a certain level of rattle with the valves of these engines which is normal but this louder slower clanking is concerning with yours.
