I can't figure out what part to lubricate exactly either. This part has gotten quite pricey from VW as well. It has started to affect my enjoyment of the vehicle as I now listen very carefully for a few moments when shifting out of R to ensure the camera closes, delaying my travels. Of course...

Ya man, started a thread last month: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/stuck-open-hatch-emblem.461920/ It’s getting worse and directly tied to temperature but when it works it works flawlessly. Need to study the mechanism and see where lubricant needs applied

It’s gotta be more of us

Like in real life? Do they have any attachment to the VW scene? I am assuming that the ad revenue is enough to pay for the site, but I can't imagine they're making much above that to be incentivized to keep it going. I am curious if they would sell the site or if they would just let it go dark...

Do we know who the admins are and how this site is being paid for? It definitely needs a rework.

Summer of 2023 starts with spending more money on Golf, because clearly I haven't spent enough. The GTechniq ceramic coating exceeded my expectations. It was guaranteed for 5 years, and I definitely got 5-6 years out of it before I could tell the properties were fading. I took it back to the...

Fall of 2022, I'm at 140,000 miles. Remember how I said I keep taking my GTI off road? Apparently I still did even though I now have a truck. And apparently my MSS springs have settled quite a bit, so the vehicle is lower than I intended. I repeatedly smashed my oil pan on rocks. Nothing...

Summer of 2021 brought two of my favorite modifications: Aluminum subframe . Benefits? No idea, virtually none, though I suspect it's stiffer than the stamped steel. Little bit of clout for anyone looking under your car. Most techs won't even notice because it is a standard subframe....on other...

Spring of 2021 I rolled past 115,000 miles. I like how they look but Neuspeed wheels are made of play dough, and I was tired of constantly fixing bends in them. At one point I found a crack, though it wasn't leaking air, my originality compelled me to order a literal identical set of wheels to...

Winter of 2020, at 90,000 miles, was when the first of major repairs to my GTI occurred. After thousands of miles of hard driving in the southern Appalachians and some track days, my DSG developed some unusual shifting behavior. Revs would hang on upshift, strange feeling downshifts, and all...

Continued photos. I will spare you the photo of the beer can inside of the exhaust tip verifying its girth. In my desperation for eliminating exhaust drone (pre-Remus exhaust), I dynamat the trunk area - I regret this move for weight reasons. Spring and summer of 2019: After running the HPA...

The summer of 2018 I finally decided to lower the vehicle. I was fearful of compromising ride quality and ride height, but there was plenty of praise for the MSS Springs. I went for the Sport version with non-adjustable fronts. I still happily run this setup on stock DCC shocks over a 100k miles...

Spring and summer of 2017 brought more fun. I was constantly ridiculed for not babying my mk7, she went off-road...often. I mean what was I to do? Not use the vehicle and instead stare at it in a garage? I also took her on a road trip around New England, hitting some of the hot spots in Maine...

Decided to do one of these. It will take a second for all photos to load. I wrote this in the hopes it helps inspire someone who gets their hands on one of these in the future. In December 2016 I took VW up on their buyback option for my fully loaded 2013 mk6 2-door TDI with Tech Package. Ended...

Alright, it's winter time and you've had your mk7 for 8 plus years and every winter it starts doing this constantly, getting worse each year. I know I'm not the only one. Has anyone figured out if it's an issue with the emblem or the gear selector not sending the signal? Super annoying...

I think Issam has been on vacation for over a decade selling parts he originally designed for the gen 2 engine for gen 3 and 4 engines. There were rumors of a bad batch of Elring seals but the continued issues mean that was only a rumor. I have a similar experience to you, though I did have one...

All sold.

Just an update, I did end up installing those RS3 arms and they’re great. Whenever they wear I’m curious if the TTRS will fit as well.

Does anyone have experience with these compared to the Eqt balanced line? I am currently on MSS+ stock dcc struts. Nice ride but too low. Need an adjustable height coil over so I can get some ground clearance back. Looking for the most comfortable ride but want to be able to change rebound...

I know someone needs strut mounts/bearings. Get a discounted OE set today.
