Sometimes when you skip a track on Spotify (through Android Auto), the sound would suddently stop working and eventually the infotainment system or Android Auto would crash/reboot after a few minutes of silence. It seems specific to MIB2 based system of VW group cars (vw/audi/skoda/seat). I've...

So it turns out the nut on the battery terminal is captive which is preventing me from connecting a cable with an eyelet connection. I'm trying to install this onto my battery terminal so I can regularly charge my car: What are my best options? These are some potential solutions I can...

I want to see about upgrading my Mk7 GTI FRONT bumper to the MK7.5 GTI but there's some questions that needs to be answered: 1) will the MK7.5 bumper fit on a MK7 GTI with the stock MK7 lights and fenders? 2) would be a straight 1:1 swap? (same mounting points and foglight connectors with no...

Okay, so i've complained about this a few times before in threads like "Most annoying thing about your GTI", but i've never heard of any kind of solution in the last 16 months since i've owned the car. This is the pop-up i get which happens on average once a week in the middle of driving: As...

So i ordered these from Deautokey but they sent me 2 pairs by mistake. They said i could keep the extra pair, so im selling it to someone that needs it. Here's the link to the product: http://deautokey.com/product/mkvii-gti-license-plate-leds-error-free-plug-play I'm selling these for $16...

So now that the 17' Golf R models now come with Pretorias in the US, is it now possible to buy them without having to pay $700+ for each wheel? Or has it always been that expensive regardless of availability?

Anyone think the Shark fin on the MK7 is kinda ugly? Are there any other shark fin shapes you can get to replace it? The stock one looks like a tiny airplane tail.

Do you guys keep any important tools in the car that are not already provided with the car? I'm thinking of putting together some kind of toolkit, but not nothing too extensive for the sake of weight savings. Right now, i don't have anything other than a Leatherman multi-tool and a digital...

I bought VW Care service when i bought my car and I'm almost due for the first scheduled maintenance service (1 year) which pretty much amounts to a simple oil change and tire rotation. Now i realize it will take longer than your Jiffy Lube place, but any idea what the typical wait time will be...

I'm thinking of putting some vinyl on my car and want to get some ideas, so I thought i'd start a picture thread about it. So post up whatever vinyl you have on yours. This can include Full or partial body wraps Decals on the windows, body, wheel, interior, mirror caps, engine bay, or emblems...

So I've been looking for similar looking alternatives to Pretoria wheels and this is what I've found so far: Advanti Rosato BBS CTS-V Konig Oversteer OZ Leggera HLT Rays G25Edge Work XSA 04C I haven't looked at the individual prices for these wheels yet, but I'm sure they vary...

Unfortunately, OBDELEVEN doesn't seem to work with third party apps, so it looks like i have to get another OBD II device to let me do all the other fun stuff (like play with Torque). Are there any OBD II bluetooth/wifi devices you guys recommend that is most fully featured and works well with...

I have things that I keep in there such as digital tire pressures gauge, flashlight, and usb cables that I want to seperate and keep tidy. The shallow organizer that we've all seen with the coin holder is way too small for this kind of use and kinda useless as it blocks access to the space...

I'm looking for a tire to replace my Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS which are the all-season tires that came on my GTI. I'm looking for something that has the same or better ride quality on city streets while providing better dry traction and reasonable tread life. I live in SoCal where it rains 10...

At least 2 or 3 times a week, i would get random traffic alert pop-ups. ALL of them are messages telling me about a car going the wrong direction and its always a highway that is no where near my location. Add to the fact that I only drive 2-3 hours a week, this makes me think it has to be some...

So I notice after a short drive in my new 2016 GTI that parts of the car gets especially hot; specifically the spot right above the headlights (bi-xenon HID) on both sides. It was going straight from the dealership to my home which is a 15-20 min drive. If you open the hood, there's a black...

So i think im close to ironing out a deal to get my 2016 GTI and I'm looking at the VW Care Plus maintenance plan. The oil changes included are whatever, but the important thing is I want the DSG fluid change to be covered. I've read other people say this is guaranteed under the Plus plan, but...

Any Forza fans in here? From what I know, Forza 6 marks just the 2nd time a MK7 Golf has made it into a video game (mobile games excludes). First one being DriveClub for PS4 if i recall, which i think had a GTI. I took a few screenshots in Forzavista mode in 1080p glory. Nothing fancy...

Upon my ongoing research, i found some interesting recent Youtube videos from HumbleMechanic. Apparently, he is a mechanic specializing in VW. Maybe you guys know of him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shFQVnBOWEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taAF30GaVMk The first one details some issues...
