I'm at 92k on my 2011 GTI. Things still feel pretty good, but I'm noticing things aren't as fresh as they used to be:
- subframe clunk/creaking on slow turns in/out of driveways
- rear end sags slightly more than it used to--scraping tailpipe on driveways where i didn't use to
- steering feel...
Why is there such a wide variance in prices on AliExpress? I see some 187B's for $180 and they go up to $280... I also noticed they have WILD firmware versions (e.g. 5711, 5814). Guessing these are experimental. Would I be able to backtrack to a previous version? Is this free to download them?
Hey guys,
I'll be visiting California next month and trying to find a sweet rental on Turo. Unfortunately, not many options available.
Anywho, I'm wondering if there is a suggested route to hitup on my way down to Monterey. I have a few hours and want to drive along the PCH and do a canyon...
Hey guys,
I was under my car doing a DSG change and noticed some fluid between the trans and motor. There were no drips and it was dirty, so it may not be a major issue right now, but definitely on the radar.
I 'm wondering if anyone has any photos they could post up of what it looks like for...
Hi all,
I am not using my radar anymore and putting it up for sale. All of the accessories are brand new and NEVER used because I had it hard wired to my rear view mirror.
Brand new:
*Power cord
*Suction cups
*Mount
*Exterior case
*Never registered so you can register it under your name...
Has anyone had any weird issues with XDS & ABS interrupting normal driving when it should not be?
I just got an alignment and new tires and all of a sudden the XDS is interrupting when I'm making normal turns (for example, an exit). I'm not ripping on the turn and there is zero tire squeal. It...
Hey guys,
I believe I could have a faulty PCV or bad intake manifolder. The car is revving slightly at idle when put into neutral in warm weather. It's very weird.
I popped the hood today, warmed the car up, and then I put my finger over the breather hole of the PCV. Before doing this, I...
Let me preface this by saying when I had my 2011 MT GTI, clutch slip could be repeated by WOT at low RPM on a high gear (3-6).
On my 2011 DSG GTI, APR K04 3.1, APR DSG Stage 2 Tune
5th gear, low rpm, WOT - no slip
Downshift to 5th gear (no throttle), high rpm (4k+), go WOT - slip
Slip = it...
R for overall value. It is cheaper to mod as well. The S4 is really pricey to mod. Labor is MUCH more. For example, to install downpipes, some shops will drop the motor. Ridiculously tight in there.

Do the bump stop until you trade it in. That being said, I love my DSG coming from a 6SP MK6 GTI. It's an amazing transmission and much appreciated coming from the manual.
