    Engine Speed Max 4000 rpm

    OP, I have the same issue on my 2016 GTI SE. It seemed to only happen if I started the car cold, and turned the car off before the motor had the chance to fully warm up. In a case like this, when I would start the car again 1/10 times it would throw the same error that you described. The error...

    Result of dogbone install, or coincidence?

    Last week I installed a BFI dogbone in my car, and took it for a test ride. As I read in many posts, I was expecting NVH to be increased but not by this much. The car was nearly undriveable and I was unwilling to wait and see if the dogbone would 'break in'. So the next day I decided to remove...

    Performance Monitor/ software upgrade

    I know there are a few threads on this, but I couldn't seem to find an answer to this - has anyone successfully got their dealer to upgrade their MIB software to then include the Performance Monitor option? Thanks

    Seat rake modification

    Hi all, So glad to finally be part of this forum, as I took delivery of my 2016 SE yesterday. I love the car, but was disappointed to find that I can't adjust the seat rake at all. I would actually like to make the forward portion of the cushion to be at an even higher angle if possible. My...
