    2017 GTI Sport rear ended today

    So I’m starting to think I wasn’t meant to own a GTI. In October 2018 I was rear ended on the highway in Denver and my GTI was totaled as a result. I went and purchased a lower mileage GTI Sport afterwards. This morning I stopped at a stoplight and my buddy in his newer Dodge Ram rear ended me...

    2017 VW GTI SE Carbon Steel Gray

    So I used to have a white 2017 VW GTI S 6mt purchased new in November of 2016. I was rear ended on the highway which resulted in a total. This made me hunt for another VW GTI because I couldn’t stray from the brand or model. I’ve been a huge fan for almost a decade now and I’ve owned two prior...

    2017 GTI SE Northern Colorado Spring Install

    Hey you all I’ve been quoted $1300 and then $750 to get my H&R Springs installed on my GTI. I live in Fort Collins and when I used to be active duty Air Force I had a buddy that could help me out with this install but since medically retiring and moving to Fort Collins I don’t know anyone to...

    High rev followed by loud exhaust afterwards

    So I’ve got an APR downpipe connected to my AWE Track catback. It has been on the car for about 8k. The other day I revved up really high for fun and I noticed my exhaust got much louder. It has been louder ever since. My suspicion is that the connecting piece from the Downpipe to the Catback...

    Squeaking suspension 2017 GTI

    I have a very annoying squeaking sound I believe coming from the front suspension on my car. My GTI has 14781 miles on it and around 3500 I replaced the stock suspension with H&R Street Performance coilovers and I haven’t had a single issue with it, zero noise or performance issues. Now in...

    Oil change lift DIY places?

    Ok so I just moved to Ft Collins Colorado from Panama City Florida 3 weeks ago. When I was in Panama City I was active duty Air Force so I could go on base to the auto hobby shop and change my own oil using their lift and tools so I just had to purchase my own oil and filter to do the change...

    APR Stage 2 no clutch upgrade

    Ok so I'm considering a Stage 2 tune on my 2017 GTI without upgrading the clutch first. I've been spying on threads relating to this. It just decided to make my own to help out future people who are curious. I have had a jb1 early on in the cars life around 2500-3000 miles, removed it at 4000...

    Need new clutch for Stage 2 preparation

    Ok so I've already got the downpipe for a stage 2 tune on my GTI and haven't had any clutch issues yet in the first 6800 miles. I'm trying to play it safe and upgrade my clutch before I tune and I know practically nothing about which would be my best fit. Do I reuse my DMF and just get a clutch...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I'll be honest, with springs/coilovers the wheels pop a little bit more. I like them a lot more than the Denvers that came on my MKV. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
