When I did the calculations based on my annual driving habits and cost of charging the car, it came out to around a $4k savings per year. Solar or not, that's a generous savings. I drove my GTI today and it is really fun, but seeing the dash say I'm getting 18-20mpg reminds me why I am selling...

Believe me I have tried everything. I don't have a clue why my mileage is so bad. I do sometimes cruise at 90-110 but I expect my mileage to be poor in those situations. The part that gets me is when I'm cruising at most 10 over the speed limit of even just slow speed driving around town, my...

Honestly because of the price of gas I don't drive the GTI like a fun car, so I'm not really missing out on too much. I love the platform of the GTI, everything is right where it should be and it's a very well made machine. But from what I've seen in person and read online, the '23 bolts are...

I've never had a Chevy, VW is actually my preferred brand if car (I've had 3 of them). Charge speed doesn't matter much to me since I will be charging at home and have solar so cost of charging is irrelevant. The car is going to be used for daily commuting, on the rare occurrence of a road trip...

I've been monitoring gas usage recently as prices are going up. I average 21mpg no matter how I drive. Tomorrow I'm picking up a bolt EUV premier for 10k off after tax credit, I'll be back in the GTI game when the ID2 GTI comes around.

I thought the same until a few weeks ago when I was standing at the pump and realized I'm paying $70+ in gas for a car that gets an average of 20mpg (indicated and calculated). Today I'm picking up a '23 Chevy Bolt EUV and selling the GTI.

I been running 91 here in Cali but my car only gets like 22mpg on a good day, and I am not flooring it everywhere. I've actually began looking into Nissan Leafs and other EVs cause the cost of gas is becoming absurd.

Got the APR intake installed. Way better than the eBay setup I was running before. Didn't want to spend $30 on a breather from APR so I got a 25mm breather for 8 bucks on Amazon. If you remove all the plastic clip parts from the SAI fitting you are left with a 30mm diameter fitting that the...

Finally got ahold of one for $180, looks great. Cleaned it with OrangeSol to dissolve all the old oil, reoiled it with K&N filter oil. The stock intake hose is a bit loose on the PEX intake so 1 wrap of gorilla tape gave it the thickness it needed for the clamp to seal well. I didn't want to...

Id be interested in just the downpipe, I'm in San Diego

Well, if you plan to troubleshoot it yourself the only option is getting the car up on jackstands and crawling underneath. Take a look at how everything is laid out and what's hitting what, then start loosening clamps and adjust it till it's all installed correctly. I wouldn't hesitate to bring...

Who installed your exhaust/DP? Every exhaust system and downpipe I've worked with has had plenty of adjustability to make it clear everything with room to spare. If you had it installed by a shop and this is happening, they should fix it at no cost by properly setting it up. If you want to fix...

Meanwhile my car still loosing coolant

I paid 75 bucks for mine and they usually seem to sell for $100 to $175, this might be a bit steep

Pricy for 30k miles

I have these on my 2019 and they are fantastic

Bump

It fit just fine, the 90mm thickness has it right up against the grill at either side but it worked out. Some of the upper bumper clips couldn't go all the way back in position, but once everything is installed it looks good and is solid. Today it was 93 degrees (San Diego) and I took the car...

I mean that car had a whole host of problems on top of the air conditioning issues. Sunroof trim clear coat peeling, coolant loss, scratches and damage here and there, needed a carbon cleaning, and a lot of other little issues that I can't recall right now. Plus technology wise it was pretty...

I have the fender system in my 2019 GTI Autobahn. I'm down for actual loud bass depending on the price 😂
