Does anyone known how to perform the readiness drive cycle using VCDS while the car is stationary following specific set of instructions (e.g. revving to a specific RPM for x seconds)?

Need Touch up paint recommendations for the Neuspeed Hyper Black color. Model RSE12 to be exact. I read about this product in one of the forums but it ended up being too dark: Dupli-Color ACC0414 Metallic Graphite Chrysler Exact-Match Scratch Fix All-in-1 Touch-Up Paint - 0.5 oz...

I always thought that after the flex pipe is a resonator but after a close inspection of my friend's downpipe, it looks like a second cat. Can anyone confirm?

I am investing in a premium downpipe that uses a high quality CAT that guarantees no CEL. I am looking for a stage 2 tune file that does not trick the O2 sensor. I need this for inspection purposes - NY has yearly inspection and do not want to keep flashing back to stock or stage 1 every year...

Car is parked and I am pushing it down from the trunk. The sound is only from the rear driver side. I have Neuspeed Sport springs + Koni FSD shocks. The car is 17 months old, 7k miles, and had two suspension work done. Could it be a worn shock mount? https://youtu.be/xA44y1Cmt1I

I currently have the Unitronic stage 1+ ECU and stage 1 DSG. Together with lighter wheels, tires, and rotors; my car feels quite nimble (-10 lbs / corner). Recently, I've been considering getting a DP to have a deeper exhaust note and the ability to go stage 2 ECU and DSG. Based from a few...

I'm looking to get a downpipe and go ECU stage 2 tune but would like to keep the sound as close to stock as possible. Any recommendations?

To those of you who installed the DV+, it is the blue plastic ring / seal that you remove and don't use.

Posted this on Vortex as well: After speaking with Unitronic, they do not recommend using the DV+ with their tune so I proceeded to remove it. When I was in the process of uninstalling/installing the stock DV, my nail slightly pinched the blue plastic seal and dented it lightly (but not...

I recently purchased a set of StopTech Drilled & Slotted Front Rotors for my non-PP GTI. I got them for 3 reasons: - Reduce rotational mass (StopTech claims them to be 20lbs but I weighed them at 18lbs. OEMs are 22lbs) - Reduce brake fade (for spirited driving only since I don't track) - Looks...

Are these still the same part numbers for the MK7 GTI? I found these on the MK6 forum.

Any interest in buying a brand new (sealed box) Injen intake? $195 for pickup only (LIC/Astoria, NY) The supplier wasn't able to cancel my order in time and I'm trying to sell it to save on the $15 return fee.

Today, I noticed a brownish liquid residue on the left of the engine bay and I haven't noticed this before. I just came from my 10,000 mile service (at 2,650 miles) yesterday and I can't believe they did not spot this. Does anyone know what this is? Bottom of the left side Right engine bay

DBW = drive by wire I've been reading about pedal mods such as SprintBooster and PedalBox and basically what it does is send more signal to the ECU and give you a "fake" feeling of improved throttle response. People have different opinions towards them. Those who are against argues that you...

So I went to a auto shop yesterday to have my VWR Springs and ECS Spacers installed. I was talking to the owner who worked on my car about axles and bolts and I mentioned that I have been reading that people online suggest the bolts get replaced after removal. He said that there are two types...

Auto shops are charging onwards of $300 just for the installation alone. Was wondering if there are members here willing to do it for a small fee and make extra cash on the side. Let me know :)
