    DSG shifting by itself before redline

    So I found only a brief discussion on this on vortex but nothing on here came up. My DSG will randomly shift by itself while in manual mode under moderate acceleration around 4k-4500 rpms. I'll be in second gear about to shift to 3rd and next thing I'll be in 4th because my car decided to shift...

    Dashcam recommendations (People suck)

    Well boys and girls, it's finally happened. Some jackass backed into my car while parked and dented my hood and scraped my front bumper a bit. Then they took off without a trace. That being said, this is the push I need to finally get a dashcam so if the bastard ever returns for round 2 I'm...

    Liked my GTI over an R. Am I crazy?

    Decided to test drive a 2018 R today while my car was getting some service. Just came in on trade so tried to get a jump on it. The power was nice FOR SURE but i just couldn't bring myself to want it more than my 17 GTI SE. Has anyone else came to this conclusion or am I just batshit?

    F/S: S&B air filter *FILTER ONLY*

    Not sure if anybody would want this but throwing it out there. I have an S&B air filter (Cleanable cotton version) for sale. Didn't feel like cleaning and re-oiling so I switched it for the dry one. Filter is in great condition other than needing to be cleaned and fresh oil. Used for a little...

    I promise I tried searching before posting

    Ok, I know this has definitely been covered in detail at some point but I cannot find it anywhere in search. I'm looking at going to a 225/45/18 (Blizzak ws90) winter tire set up on stock suspension. I have a strong feeling there should be no issues other than a slight speedo change but I'm...

    Aquapel removal?

    I put Aquapel on earlier in the year and now it's wearing very unevenly. Its completely worn through where the blades change direction and most of my windshield is streaking/hazy. I more than likely didn't prep the glass properly before applying so it's not really a knock on the product itself...

    EOC light in extreme cold?

    EDIT: EPC* light... Damn phone I live in the Northeast where this snowstorm just hit and temps are in the negatives. Turned my car on to move it and the engine was running rough but I figured it was just cold so I left it on to let the engine warm up. Ran for about 15 minutes then when I went...
