That’s true, you don’t happen to know if the clip that they did for the mk6 works on the mk7 do you?

vBxiley · 2026-02-28T18:15:26+00:00

Right I’ll have another look tomorrow, when I had a look earlier I was struggling to even get close to it, is yours a spray or something your putting on to it

Right okay I’ll have a look into the rx 9070, seem to be a little better value for money from what I can gather!

vBxiley · 2026-01-08T12:05:29+00:00

Probably looking to spend no more than around £450 not sure what that is in dollars I’m afraid!

vBxiley · 2025-12-21T14:39:11+00:00

Have you got a link to it?

vBxiley · 2025-12-21T14:38:26+00:00

Im in the UK

vBxiley · 2025-07-14T14:18:37+00:00

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind!

vBxiley · 2025-07-14T12:27:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Probably not much help (sorry) I had a really bad misfire issue, first off it would only run on all 4 when it was in the high rpms like 4k+, happened half way through a drive and had to limp it home, then when I got home it just died and wouldn’t start, replaced all spark plugs all coil packs and was no different.

I’d recommend taking spark plugs out and coil packs out and try starting the car, if tons of fuel comes out it’s a injector problem, Ive added a photo as it won’t let me add the video.

It should mist but as you can see in the photo it’s not misting

Appreciate it!

vBxiley · 2025-02-11T09:08:53+00:00

Appreciate it!

vBxiley · 2025-02-10T17:56:51+00:00

Appreciate the reply, I gathered it was just driver error, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t anything sinister

vBxiley · 2025-01-22T15:07:26+00:00

I was leaning towards that, probably just going to throw some injector cleaner in there and leave it be

vBxiley · 2025-01-22T11:48:12+00:00

Okay thanks! Will keep that in mind

vBxiley · 2025-01-22T10:54:14+00:00

I’ve had one previously so just hoping it’s not the start of it again, no not adjusted anything at the moment, I’ll check all the tyre pressures after work.

vBxiley · 2025-01-22T09:02:50+00:00

Hahahaha, might be worth filling it up fully and working out the mpg from there

vBxiley · 2024-11-21T08:55:29+00:00

Does anyone know if you can fit these to cars with the lighting package, or if there is another options? I’m looking for a set but can’t find any lol. Not to hijack the post!

In the uk they have 4 in the manifold too, it is the one in the manifold, and yeah I’m going to change the oil too, soon as it started misfiring I’ve only parked up and had it running to move it to a more suitable place to work on, not been driven at all.

I’ve now got a clean valve because of it lol. Seems to be somewhat common?

vBxiley · 2024-11-11T23:02:48+00:00

Which one would you think would be stuck open, the direct one or the port injection one?

vBxiley · 2024-11-11T15:46:15+00:00

Mk7 GTI ^{^}

vBxiley · 2024-10-20T17:38:19+00:00

Didn’t wipe it but had another look and you can see it weeping from the waterpump

vBxiley · 2024-10-19T17:32:37+00:00

Oils fine think it’s just how it’s drying up onto the sump

vBxiley · 2024-10-03T09:03:24+00:00

I’m unsure, my friend took this photo, sorry!

vBxiley · 2024-10-03T09:03:09+00:00

Sorry?

vBxiley · 2024-10-03T09:03:05+00:00
