    Rear window defogger issue

    I noticed today that when I turned on my rear defogger it started to work then seemed to stop working. Turned it off for a little bit and back on and it did the same thing. I could see the window starting to clear, then a little while later it was fully fogged again. Has never been an issue...

    6MT Trans Oil - What are you using?

    If you have replaced your trans oil what did you use? I have put a little under 3000 miles on the car with Motul Gear 300 75w90. I have not been happy with it at all, especially when hot. Shifting becomes much higher effort and notchier. I am going to replace it ASAP and want to know what others...

    Trouble with Shifter - 2015 6MT

    2015 GTI 6MT. When cold I do not have any issues. After the car has been driven for a while and is fully warmed up it becomes very difficult to shift. High effort is needed. It becomes very hard to get into 1st, and is nearly impossible to get into reverse. I had a DKM Stage 2 clutch installed...

    Miles of Smiles

    Turned 20,000 on my 2015 GTI yesterday. Still loving the car. I put 11,300 on it between August 2015 & December 31, 2015, so only 8700 miles since January 1, 2016. Working from home helps keep that mileage down!!!

    Recall

    Does anyone have any additional info on this recall? Do we know when parts will be available? I'll be taking mine in for the 20k service in 1500 miles and would like to get this done at the same time. I have not called VW yet, figured I'd reach out to the group first.

    Spotted In Branchburg, NJ

    I had a guy in a Carbon Steel Grey Mk7 2 door behind me this morning on Readington Road in Branchburg. When he turned off I waved and he waved back. Just wondering if you were here on the forum. Another forum I was on (Non-VW) had a "SPOTTED" category for just this.

    Engine Cover Wrap

    My first attempt at vinyl wrap. Probably should have picked something with a less complicated surface!! It has some small imperfections here and there so I'll probably make another attempt at it. Just wanted a little red accent.

    VAG-COM - Backup Camera

    Anyone know of a tweak that will allow the backup camera to stay on longer after shifting out of reverse? I like to keep my car closer to the garage door opening for more room in front of it, so if the camera stayed on longer I would not have to shift back to reverse to know I was where I want...
