    VW GTI 2017 Sport Chirping noise

    6500 miles on my car and I have developed a chirping annoying sound like a belt pulley coming mostly when cold from the engine bay. Dealer replaced Belt, Damper and bolt last week, and the noise came back. Anyone experienced this? Sorry if this has already been covered. CHEERS!

    I want 19" wheels. What are the swap specs I should look for??

    I would like to swap my 18" Nogaro for 19" wheels. I do want to close the fender gap at the same time. Which wheel specs do you recommend for a straight swap. I don't want to use springs and spacers to achieve the same. Cheers!!

    Is it good or bad to use spacers?

    I have read tons of threads on good and bad about outfitting GTI's with spacers. So what is the general consensus in this forum about spacers. Which in your opinion is the best set of spacers? Thanks

    Revving MK7

    Not sure if this is normal. I know these cars have a launch setting where you have to rev to about 4K RPM’s while stepping on the brake. I know that is normal. But does the car also just goes to 4K max if you are parked on drive and rev it. My car will not pass 4K rpm’s, Is this normal?? Thanks

    New member here. I have a new 2017 GTI Sport DSG. I want to lower it but conservatively, so to not straight too much from the stock ride while improving handling.
