    MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

    Hey, all! I have a 2018 VW GTI SE with the Start/Stop feature. When it stops the car momentarily at a red light, I notice the A/C fans keep blowing, but the air coming out of the vents is suddenly warm. My model does not have the climate control where you set a specific temperature - it...

    My lovely GTI got rear-ended yesterday...

    Can anyone recommend a body shop near Gaithersburg, MD that is as adamant on using OEM replacement parts as I am? Got clobbered while waiting at a red light. It wouldn't start*, and smoke came out of the AC vents for a little while for some reason immediately after the collision. Wife and...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    My new white 2017 GTI Sport purchased in Maryland had a black pinstripe. My wife liked how it looked, but I just never got used to it. The dealer generously agreed to remove it gratis about a month after purchase.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I think it looks great. And likely isn't a disadvantage during nighttime maneuvers, either.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    You are likely right, but I put the other one on the lower right bumper and didn't think I'd like the symmetry of having the two on opposite corners... But what do I know? They are my firsts. Maybe I'll trim the white border on a second copy and replace it.

    MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

    Why does the Active Info Display chime the temperature every...single...time it detects it is 39 degrees Fahrenheit? I'd understand 32 degrees [freezing], but what is so special about 39 that it must chime and display? I'll forgive you if you live in my home state of Florida and are therefore...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Took action when I realized that my newly 2017 VW GTI Sport boasted bi-xenon headlamps and way-cool cornering lights, but lacked automatic headlights. I added the aftermarket automatic feature via Ali Express for the kingly sum of $30-something. But I am more proud [and simultaneously...

    Hose/Cable hanging from undercarriage.

    So, while approaching my parked GTI, I noticed this cable/hose seemingly dangling from the undercarriage. I haven’t noticed this before, but it is a new car, so I don't know if this recently began to dangle or if my shamefully dull observation skills simply failed to notice until now... Is...

    Rumbling/Vibration with cold engine.

    Hello, all! I have a new 2017 VW GTI Sport. It seems like the car vibrates a bit until the engine warms up. It is subtle enough for me to just initially assume it was a rougher ride than my previous ride and/or the road quality immediately near my home. It seems as though the vibrating...

    MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

    Not necessarily exclusive to this forum, model or brand, but something I've always found curious...why does nearly everyone blur/blank out/physically cover their license plates when posting images of their cars? Is it to preserve their online anonymity - perhaps a measure toward keeping others...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I think this is my first post! Not all today, but in the last week or so. I did a handful of very minor mods on my few-weeks-old 2017 VW GTI Sport, all of which were inspired and/or outright copied by threads on this forum. The Bell Front License drill-less mount: A magnetic phone mount...
