    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    I guess they couldn’t engineer for stupidity... Yea, there was definitely something else going on. All of the lights stayed on the whole ride home, along with locked steering wheel. It was a PITA to make turns

    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    So I’ve checked the fuse links right now and cannot visually tell of any scorch or burn marks. It all looks normal. I’ve checked the engine and dash fuses, and they are all still solid except the F19 fuse, which I’m going to go replace now. However, the brand new battery I bought yesterday is...

    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    Yea, my vehicle does not come with any modules on the negative terminal. So I think I'm safe on that part. As far as the fused linkages go, how can I inspect those to see there are issues with them? I've never dealt with this sort of issue before, and have no experience with wiring and fuses.

    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    I will check the error codes in the morning. I scanned and reset them all, but haven't noted any of them yet. As far as the battery coding...I just found out a few minutes ago that coding is required to change the battery? Some posts say that coding is only required for the European GTIs, and...

    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    Thank you for the diagram. Would you happen to know as to what fuse correlates to the power steering, and or alternator fuse? I checked all my colored fuses and the only blown fuse I see is F19, which looks like it relates to "Wiper motor control module -J400- " "Windscreen wipers (front)"

    Battery Change - Car UNDRIVEABLE

    So my battery randomly died when I was washing my car. I ran out and bought a new one. When I tried installing it, I accidentally hooked the battery up backwards since it was night and I was not paying attention. My car alarm shot on as soon as I connected both terminals, and I quickly unplugged...

    Double DRL on bi-xenon headlights

    My question is; would I be able to use the BEC/HELIX aftermarket lights on my MK7 LP, *with* losing the cornering and adaptive features? My LP lights are in pretty bad shape, and I don't really care for the features on the Bi-xenon LP lights. So as long as the aftermarket lights worked, I...

    I’ve atttempted this but my skirts aren’t moving anywhere... I’m trying to yank them towards the rear of the car but it’s not budging. Maybe a mallet?

    MK7 GTI DIY oil change

    So I checked the last 5 pages of this thread but Didn’t see anyone mentioning if the car has to be leveled in order to extract the engine oil? I’m lowered, so I don’t have any clearance down there. I have a set of ramps, but I’m wondering if I would need to jack and level the rear up in order...

    DSG service method....

    What’s the easiest way to Jack the car up and have it leveled in order for the fluid to drain properly at the bottom? Which jacking points should I place my stands / jack at?

    APR testing new beta tune for r/gti

    Can anybody tell me the exact version of the newest updated files? I just needed something I can reference to my tuner to make sure I got what I paid for, because after getting a high torque stage 2 tune with the aggressive pops and bangs, my car doesn’t really feel that much more powerful than...
