    MK7 TDi Headrest Question

    See some of my previous posts- The ~2013 era Audi A7 has an adjustable headrest that is plug and play w/ the VW seats. It comes in black leather and nougat brown as far as I am aware. It is way more comfortable than the fixed oem VW headrests and pretty easy to find on ebay or various junk yard...

    Alltrack Bumper Trim Removal

    You don't have to remove the bumper to replace this. You can work the clips out by massaging the trim piece starting from the thinner part on the right, it's a softer style of plastic so it wont snap if you're careful. I've taken all the silver pieces off the front without taking off the bumper.

    Serpentine belt tensioner

    I just did mine this weekend. Not a lot of room but I had no issues with a 3/8's size socket wrench, pulling towards the front of the car loosened it up. It's not super loose so you have to shimmy it off 1 or 2 ribs at a time Maybe try getting a little more leverage with a long pipe on the end...

    Mk7 suspension issues/noises/advice. CLICK HERE FIRST!

    What a great thread!....I had some rear end squeaking during undulating road conditions and couldn't for the life of me figure out where it was coming from. Tried swaying the rear of the car back and forth but got no noise. I have Bilstein B16's and a Eurocode rear sway bar....then it occurred...

    FS: Dash and Center Console Trim

    Hard to tell in the pics, but I am guessing this is the lighter gray from the MK7 Alltrack and not the darker Polar Night gray trim from the Mk7.5?

    for sale - usa - nj - digital dash retro fit for 7.5 - Volkswagen AID MQB 791D

    No offense but these are not hard to come by and they are not becoming more expensive, they are going down in price if anything as supply chains are becoming available again.... Saying that, if the price was around $500 I would consider this since I am local. Paying more doesn't make sense...

    HID Bulb Replacement (FRUSTRATING)

    Correct, the 7.5r reps for the mk7. I made the mistake of getting H7 hid's originally and they simply would not fit unfortunately.

    HID Bulb Replacement (FRUSTRATING)

    I have the same Ed's headlights before they switched over to the sealed led version and then went out of business. I use D2H bulbs from deauto without issue, lifetime warranty (which I've used once already).

    How I am fixing the led stripe in the door....

    That's funny I actually have heard that in the past on this forum but I didn't even think to reverse it before I messed them up. Oh well, my fix worked as intended other than having to adjust the location of the led to eliminate the little hot spot. That should be pretty easy to do when I get...

    How I am fixing the led stripe in the door....

    sorry about the pics! That plcc-4 led looks spot on, very bright focal point. I am going to order a set and see if I can salvage the boards. I updated the previous post to state that the new led does in fact dim. Why the need for the fancy board then?

    How I am fixing the led stripe in the door....

    I ordered a bag of these single leds, and they work when plugged in. Next hurdle is shaving them down to sit flush with the plastic light bar. I already installed and everything works but the light has a small hotspot through the plastic light bar - proof of concept! Will have to either get a...

    How I am fixing the led stripe in the door....

    Need a little basic 101 electrical advice so figured I would post here.. Long story short - My white led drivers side door stripe burned out on my Alltrack. I tracked it down to the small Hella led chip board failing. If you didnt already know VW plastic welded this all to the door and it's not...

    It's the subtle cosmetic mods I like... POST YOURS

    Took me nearly 5 years but I finally blacked out every piece of chrome and silver on the Alltrack, besides the front grill strip/headlights.
