    MK7 Confessions

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Finally put in the new spark plugs I bought in 2020 and changed my oil.

    E85 SUCKS!

    Did I drain the axle oil?

    Hijacking the thread for a similar question: When you remove the single axle bolt from the wheel hub is it normal for grease to pour out? It happened on my gti when I lowered it. I just packed some CV grease in with a syringe and never thought about it again

    Do shops charge to upload a tune?

    One of a couple reasons I went with uni - need to re-flash every 2 years for e-check I also just bought a 70 dollar laptop to keep in the toolbox so I don't have to disassemble my gaming desktop to bring it into the garage for the tune lol

    Sudden Perfume Smell

    Wait a minute, I just got random notifications for this thread and revived it. So after chastising every single person who told you "just wait and the smell will go away", and all the abuse you gave them over their genuine answers, you WAITED and the SMELL WENT AWAY. jeeez louise.

    Cutting down on brake dust

    I run centric posi-quiet pads and am really happy with them. Kinda squeaky sometimes but they stop HARD and don't make much dust.
