    Intermittent slow start?

    Hey all, I've had this issue for a while but it seems to be occurring a little more frequently now. I'm occasionally experiencing a somewhat slower than usual start, and every once in a while the starter will begin to crank, pause, then continue and start the car like normal. I can't seem to...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - Standard vs. "DT1"?

    Hi all, I've been running PSS and PS4S for years now - excellent tires for my usage and pretty much all I'll consider for street use these days. That said, I'm due for a new set soon and started to do some shopping on TireRack where I've had good experiences in the past. When I narrow the...

    WTB: Performance Pack Brakes - Front & Rear

    Hi all, Looking to upgrade my non-PP car to PP brakes, front and rear. I know fronts will be easier to come by than rears, but wanted to put it out there. (Not opposed to buying just fronts and sourcing rears elsewhere, etc). Mainly looking for the calipers, carriers, and dust shields. Not...

    P0030 Fault Code - O2 Sensor?

    Hi all, Started my car up this morning and was greeted with a lovely CEL (first time in nearly 5 years). Cold start was completely normal and I couldn't sense that anything was wrong. Idle came down like normal after a few seconds and the car continued to run fine. Promptly scanned the...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (PS4S) - Optimal Tire Pressure

    Hi all, I've been running Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires for the past 3+ years and love them to death. They've been the stock size of 225/40/18, and I've been running them at 34-35 PSI (rather than the OEM recommended 37). Any higher, and I've noticed that the tires are prone to premature...

    North America/US MIB I Nav Updates?

    Hi all, I went through this saga a bit ago and gave up in frustration. Have there been any proper updates to the Navigation data for 2015 NAR/US Autobahn models with MIB 1? I purchased my car in June 2014, so the maps are nearing 3+ years out of date. My nav SD card is "V1". I purchased a...

    WTB: OEM GTI Clubsport Suitcase Muffler (w/ Tips)

    Hi all, Bit of a longshot but figured I'd put it out there. Looking to get a Clubsport rear suitcase muffler to fit onto my standard GTI (for the larger tips). The whole suitcase is preferable to just the tips (for maximum "OEM" effect). No idea what shipping to the US would cost, but...

    Hey everyone, So I finally pulled the trigger on some new wheels. Went for an OEM/OEM+ look and couldn't be happier with how everything looks and fits. Wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Super Sports and am equally impressed. Can't wait to really take the car out for a good drive and put the tires...
