    DIY DSG Fluid and Filter Change

    Not my intention to jack up an old thread but does anyone have better results with a different DSG fluid? Most popular options here are the VW OEM and Motul Multi DCTF. Liqui Moly produts are still too pricey here. On the last fluid change I went with VW OEM but was wondering if Motul could...

    The Mk7 OEM wheels thread

    Maybe this is not the correct thread to bring a question but since it's an OEM wheel why not? :) I was looking for some Audi wheels, 8T0601025CA, they are 18x8,5 ET29. Offset is too aggressive for the MK7 GTI?

    Golf R mk7.5 Stop Start Every Time?

    I really don't like the start stop feature, I installed one of these Aliexpress harness and it is running fine until now. From my experience I can recommend this simple thing :)

    Battery Recommendation?

    After 5 years of ownership I replaced the original battery of my 2017 GTI, I chose a local branded battery (EFB technology) and coded using Carista app. I hope it lasts 5 more years

    Using Trico here too, locally they offer a 10in model (stock one is 11in) but totally fine. I just want to see how it will last.
