    Low Fuel Indicator - Am I Missing Something?

    So I just went on a long trip with lots of highway driving. After the trip gauge read 0, I went an additional 45 miles (car was saying I was averaging 44mpg coming down from the mountains)filling up at the gas station it clicked off at 13.896. How is that possible with a 13.2 gallon tank or is...

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    I installed a stage 2 BFI dogbone mount insert and almost all wheel hop is gone. I did a couple hard pulls and I can feel it still but it’s much better. If I don’t smash the gas i can get much better pulls without any wheel hop. Also noticed there is no NVH which is kinda weird??

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    So the tool worked. I was able to push the mount back down. When removing my current doge one insert I tore it clean in half. Is it alright to still use or should I just use my old 034 metal insert? I noticed car has nvh but still has wheel hop during hard pulls. Not as bad as before though.

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    I tried using a single pry bar but didn’t use any penetration oil. Mine is literally touching the front sway bar so it needs to be pushed down a whole cm. Did you just loosen the front sway bar and use the the pry bar against it to push it down ? Mine wouldn’t budge. I’m hoping this tool will help.

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    That is with them saying they will need to take the subframe out and have it pressed in. Apparently nobody had this tool for some reason.

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    Unfortunately labor is around $150 or more an hour and most places are estimating 4-6 hours. Not including parts and alignment.

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    I found a revo subframe tool which wasn’t too bad $80. I called around and most places gave me estimates of 600$ and higher. So I’ll give this a try and see if it works. Part # is RV581M900200 if it does work if anyone else has this issue.

    Front Subframe Bushings (upper and lower) Install

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a tool or a way to press both the top and bottom bushing back down. I went under my car and noticed that both mounts are pushed up and actually the top mount is touching the front sway bar. So it needs to come down about an entire cm. I’m in a gti so my...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    New Clutch Time?

    sounds like oem would be better if its only 25k miles on it. I thought mine was bad for leaking at 60k haha. My waterpump/thermo is also leaking but its super slow that I still haven't to even add coolant to it yet. The cooland is pretty cool though cause when it does it. It starts to crust up...

    New Clutch Time?

    that is what I would do. that flywheel and pressure plate don't look like something I would want to but back in the car. Also the rear main seal could have causing clutch slippage and the hot spots you see everywhere. Use stock rear main seal and see longevity? I just replaced mine and it was...

    Considering selling my car…

    For me I plan on keeping my car until something that is better comes in my eyes. Sounds like you can easily turn this car into stockish and have it sold for top dollar tomorrow. I would save the money for x amount of months possibly years until the car market comes back down. OR you could try...

    Yes remove all parts, especially suspension, make the care look as stock as possible. Expect if you try to sell the car modded you will get 30% possibly even less of its acutal value.
