Last summer, I was driving with a couple passengers. The A/C was on and I was in traffic. Whenever I'd take my foot off the brake and let the car creep forward, it'd kind of stutter. The passengers commented on it but I didn't think much of it. And I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but...
Does anyone know what type of bulb the OEM license plate lights use?
I installed the DeAutoKey LED license plate lights a couple years ago, and they looked great, but the wire has gone bad with time. I just want to switch back to the OEM lights until my new LEDs show up. The problem is that I...
Strange start up: engine cranks, doesn't start, automatically cranks again & starts
Hi all. I've been having this weird issue with my 2016 Golf every now and then. It happens once every couple of weeks.
The car hasn't thrown any codes (EPC or CEL) and it drives perfectly fine otherwise. But...
I just had a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE760 fitted on my Golf. I've only driven on them from the shop back to the office (about 15 minutes). But even in that short amount time, I've noticed that the car feels a hell of a lot more planted than before.
I'm coming from an incredibly crappy set...
Hey everyone,
First and foremost, I apologize if this question has been asked already.
What can you recommend for upgraded pads and rotors for the Golf 1.8T? I'm not really interested in replacing the entire caliper, but I would like for the brakes to have a little more bite.
I've read good...
It snowed last night. I was reversing into my driveway. The snow had piled up and I couldn't properly see the curb, until my driver side mounted it.
I heard a scratch come from beneath the car. I went a did a walk around today and I found this little hole: https://postimg.org/image/bwrkrbl93/...
As you can see, I'm having a bit of trouble with the driveway at my new place. I don't think this will be much of a problem when I put my 18's back on. But for now, I can't stand to hear the scrape of my bumper against the sidewalk when I back out.
Do you know of anything I can put on the...
Hey everyone.
I recently moved to the city and my mod priorities are changing to reflect that.
My new house has a slightly steeper driveway than my old one. Lately, when I've been backing out I hear some scraping coming from the front end. So I think it's time to invest in a proper skid...
I'm considering something similar to this: http://www.gfb.com.au/products/blow-off-and-diverter-valves/dv-plus/dv-t9351-suits-late-model-vag-euro-applications-detail
I've read a lot of positive reviews about GFB's DV+. Everyone seems to agree that it noticeably improves throttle response, and...
I put this sticker on my window to celebrate my tune. The only problem is that it ripped off halfway. But I guess Uni is still short for Unitronic, right?

I've installed VW's OEM lowering springs but every other part of my suspension is stock. But, I recently heard that lowering springs have the potential to accelerate the wear to my other suspension components (i.e. dampeners, struts, etc.).
Now my question is, how long should the stock...
It's been amazing so far. I haven't even been tuned for a full day but I'm really excited to see what this car can do.
I drove it off the lot a year ago and I've put all 33,000 km on it since then. I've been following the factory maintenance schedule but now that it's tuned I'd like to do as...
Dealer wants more than $50 to swap this out for me but I'd rather do it myself.

I use that space to store miscellaneous stuff but recently something got stuck behind the drawer and that's preventing it from closing fully.
I've done some searching and I haven't been able to find instructions for how to remove this drawer. I've also tried fiddling around with it but to no...
