Hey y'all. Got two questions. 1. What's this high pitched ringing sound coming from the front of my engine bay, passenger side? In the open area beside the dipstick: https://streamable.com/iugqj?fbclid=IwAR3s5hncrZod459p0j7U7tDBDj0soEYX0GCuyH_Fb8LCh6xOPECHpzpifDc I've heard it for about a...

So, Ive always had an issue with the MK7 pedal layout, I was unable to heeltoe with it and it appears that seems to be the case for many of us. We’ve all been searching for an answer and I’ve kept a close eye on a lot of different options including: 1) Self-fabbed sheets of metal for a wider...

This is an x-post from the international VW facebook group, I'd like your input on this lads. Is this coolant too dark/contaminated? Granted it was kinda dim lighting and I used flash, and it's overfilled (was told it's not a problem). Been paranoid bout my coolant ever since my intercooler...

Hey all, so I've picked up an IS38 with part number 06K145722S. Belonged to a friend and member of this forum, and originally came off a 2017 S3 from the UK. It changed hands one extra time between my friend and myself so when I got it off the stranger from the local VW group, I thought I got...

1. I occasionally get this whine sound in 2nd gear when leaning into the turbo a teensy bit. Never at WOT or higher throttle. https://youtu.be/SsmKo5ajkb8 Not sure if regular harmonics or turbo whine or what? Turbo still boosts fine to 27psi and doesn't make any other whining sounds. 2. I...

My setup has gotten noticeably louder of the past month... not sure if it's my tolerances just returning back to normal lol. Hmm...

Any exhaust shop with a sawzall and welder lol. 40 minutes tops. Cut off oem resonator, put vibrant resonator in its place, weld it with some more piping to make up the gap.

I owe you an apology GTI jake. I noticed that the exhaust shop actually welded on a 1793 for me- not 17930. I went back and had them change it (and paid the difference) and wow, what a difference. I'm surprised at how much that 1" diameter made a difference. I can confidently say that the drone...

Weird thing was I tried on different mufflers, and the super 10 was the least bassy to me. It was the loudest for sure, but the magnaflow/borla mufflers I tried on were quieter but WAY boomier and bassier. Granted I didn't try your borla XS pro exactly... but oh well. Think it's time for me to...

Flowmaster Super 10. I'm thinking of reverting to stock muffler but I'm getting the feeling it's just going to be even more bassy, somehow lol. Seems like every modification I make, it gets bassier. I wonder if there's any option to get rid of the bass, even if it's raspier. I'm so sensitive to...

The results I just mentioned are AFTER adding the vibrant resonator. It seems that I'm more sensitive to boomy, bassy drone than other types.

Regrettably I must say that I am part of the minority and it is both better and worse. Just shifted the points at where it drones, and now the drone is less "car-shaking rattly" and more "boomy bassy slight headache". Seems to drone less under heavier throttle, more under light throttle. Edit...

Brilliant. Just what I was searching for. Wow. I'm impressed. What a difference.

Hey all. I may be completely dense for not knowing this, but how can I tell what my current wiper fluid level is at & up to which point I should fill it? I have a GTI, so the wiper fluid tank is actually completely hidden from view, even if I remove the air intake box. All I can see is the hose...

This car is my only car and a daily driver, so BBK and high performance brakes isn't exactly necessary. I have the non-pp gti brakes at 312mm front and 272mm rear non-vented. So, I'm looking at 3 options here, and I'm not sure what the best option is: 1) Stoptech...

oh woops, clearly I was an entire k off. 5k is pure white, 6k is "crystal" white

I actually vaguely remember my deautokey set being warmer than this set, but this set is the closest to 6000k pure white out of all the others I've tried. (I've tried at least 5 different sets with my deautokey connectors lol) It's been a while since I used those and I could be remembering...

Nope, some local buddies fabbed it up.

Upped my my trunk lighting by, oh I don't know, ... tenfold? Now I can actually see in the back :)
